i completely agree... i was so tired after installing the springs that i completely overlooked it.

maybe next weekend...

Polak Graphics 01-17-2011 11:32 AM

It looks better than not tinted definitely.

But i think your went a little to dark on the tail light. I personally like a lighter shade tint.

You have to upload it somewhere.

most people use photobucket, its pretty quick and easy.


also get some spacers for the stockers, 9k on here had them with his stocker for a while, really helps make it look flush when lowered.

Kaiser bun 01-17-2011 12:12 PM

looks good

was worried for a sec that it was going to be another "finally lowered my car" thread where you cut the springs lol, Good work :)

I believe 9k was rocking 10mm spacers, not sure though would have to find his post

mscamp02 01-17-2011 12:32 PM

nope I lied, they were 25mm spacers,


heres a link to his thread with the pictures https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-wheels-tires-brakes-suspension-55/25mm-spacers-stock-wheels-245-40-18s-%3D-flush-195496/

RX8SHNKVI 01-17-2011 01:12 PM

Damn! That's almost an inch!..... Was it dropped when he installed the spacers? Cus i think 25mm on a 1" drop is a bit much... Not sure though.

mscamp02 01-17-2011 01:18 PM

yeah 9k was dropped, not sure on what though, its just an idea and the pics will give you a good reference of what dropped with those 25mm spacers looks like

Lord ET 01-17-2011 01:41 PM

9k had s-techs. and 25mm spacers, just shy of an inch.

Ross_Dawg 01-17-2011 02:11 PM

Looks good :)

Roidz 01-17-2011 02:30 PM

Looks good.

Dirt_Nasty 01-17-2011 02:34 PM

yeah had to show of you spaced out stockers lol

9krpmrx8 01-17-2011 05:11 PM

I just wish I had coilovers then, I think the look could have been pulled of even better.

Beauge23 01-17-2011 08:29 PM

Looks good OP, the spacers would top it all off

Chad D. 01-17-2011 08:47 PM

Looks great! I'd like to recommend some LED bulbs to shine through the tint. Spacers would be a nice touch too.

dlum125 01-18-2011 01:51 AM

dropped definitely more than an inch. but looks good! i had these springs sitting around in my room and i was reading a little bit about them and decided it was too low for me.

RX8SHNKVI 01-18-2011 08:04 AM

I will be getting the leds next week (payday)... And there is no way anyone should cut their springs monchie! What are you thinking? :Eyecrazy: Hahahahahah


9K THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD! :icon_tup:

9krpmrx8 01-18-2011 10:25 AM

No problem, and just ignore Monchie. He has already sunk on the failboat.

Grungepup 01-18-2011 11:19 AM

I WOULD DO THAT BUT THE BLACK DOTS ON THE WINDSHIELD WOULD NOT LET THE TINT STICK TO IT AND WILL APPEAR TO HAVE BUBBLES IN IT... MAYBE IF I REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD..... :naughty:

THANKS THE1JESSTER.!!
