what do you guys think? at this point i am pretty satisfied with the rear... i did the rear first because that is what they see when i zip by them

RX8Soldier

never been a fan of those. but, to each his own

dmedz8

iTrader: (5)

you dont like them???

they took all of 1 1/2 minutes to install!!

RX8Soldier

iTrader: (24)

Hey they don't look bad! Just wouldn't want them on my car

dmedz8

iTrader: (5)

nah thanks for the input tho! can you think of anything to add? i dont want to change the bumper... rear that is. but maybe a lip or something

RX8Soldier

iTrader: (24)

Maybe the rear mud guards?
Don't add too much to the body! A nice,clean RX8 is a happy RX8
I'm looking to get the OEM appearance package. But, it's hard because Phantom Blue is a hard color to paint match...

yeah i want to get the veilside kit down the road, just the front and sides tho

RX8Soldier

I read a thread earlier today about how to "properly" give your car a makeover. Start off with rims, then a body kit. I always find that doing too many cosmetics make the car look too flashy IMHO... Unless you have an engine to back it up

Don't really wanna mess up your guys' conversation you got goin here, but I'm with rx8soldier, but hey...as long as you like them that's all that matters.

dmedz8

iTrader: (5)

oh well. i like them

RX8Soldier

Hey man, everyone is telling me to NOT put on strakes. I'm going to put them on and see how they look. If they look good, I'll keep them. And, if I get flamed for it, it's not gonna hurt my feelings lol
Do what you want! That's the important thing...

You should have shined your exhaust tips instead Brasso and ultra fine steel wool do wonders

But if you like them then that is all that matters man. And if you are thinking Veilside, please tell me you are thinking the lip version.

Oh, and say no to strakes

dmedz8

iTrader: (5)

haha, yeah i just installed it like days ago... but i will shine them i want CF strakes (let the flame begin!!!)

Say Yes to strakes if you like them. However the rear.....eh...whatever you like, right?

i like it i actually painted the mesh in and think it looked good

iTrader: (2)

I prefer the stock look. However, they don't look all that bad. I've seen way worse.

altspace

iTrader: (2)

Painted black would look way better for sure. There is a reason why that part of the bumper is not painted. All part of the design.

what brand are the side mesh thingies?

dmedz8

iTrader: (5)

side mesh? you mean the side vents? i got them from rotary fx, they are carbon fiber

2tone

iTrader: (3)

yeah yeah, side vents. fitment looks good...how is it in person? the double-sided tape only has always worried me...

dmedz8

iTrader: (5)

no double sided tape, installs just like oem. fitment is 11/10

ummm...are these not what you have?

from their website: Installation is simple using the already applied 3M VHB tape

oem's install with clips, no tape.

dmedz8

iTrader: (5)

no these ---> http://www.rotaryfx.com/product_p/ext1047.htm
no tape, just clips... takes 5 secs to install

Fake mesh look? Why not cut out the rear and add mesh painted flat black?

2tone

iTrader: (3)

oh ok, sorry to doubt. so what's the difference between them?? oh, yours are oem but in cf...the others have the mesh behind instead of flush with the outer part. i wonder why one clips in (better imo) and the other uses tape!
