Kailord69's Winning Blue Rx8

Hi All,

Here's a few pictures of my Winning Blue Rx8 6-Speed all the way from
the other side of the world - South Africa. (I took them last night before a storm,
so I'll post some more pictures once the sun comes out)

Mods Done so far:-
1) Vertex Lang Front & Sides (Fits perfectly)
2) Ings+1 Rear
3) Autobahn Mirrors (Led's removed)
4) Replica MSII-Hood Insert
5) R-Magic Eyelids
6) Smoked lights all round
7) 30% Tint (and smash & grab for S.A.)
8) Chromed Door Handles
9) Strakes
10) Godfather 18-Inch Wheels (275 at rear)
11) Eibach lowered springs
12) Debadged
13) Greddy Exhaust (awesome quality & sound)
14) Chromed Fuel Lid (might remove it?)
15) RP Short Shifter (Fantastic feel)
16) Engine bay panels painted blue (will post pic's later)
17) Hood dampers installed
18) Various other items.

Still to Install
1) Rx7 Test Pipe (very loud - waiting turbo install)
2) Corksport Dash Kit (looking for 2Din radio+gps with SA maps)
3) Re-Amemiya Triple Gauge Meter Panel (waiting Defi gauges)
4) Turbo - MazdaManiac's Greddy Upgrade or Esmeril Racing Turbo??
5) R-Magic Wing
6) Interior lighting - Blue
7) Remove minor dents from "a**-holes" this week

All comments welcome & thanks to all for the information posted here
on the Rx8club which has helped me greatly.

Cheers
Jason

Looking very sweet man. I envy your await for a Turbo. I am too broke for one right now. Love the Kit, looks clean.

Minus the handles and the wheels it looks great, but it's all about personal taste. Bodykit looks awesome. Post more pics when you install the new parts.

IMO you have too much chrome. I say get rid of the door handles and fuel door. Also paint the mesh insert black on the rear bumper.

Great kit for a WB rx8!

Your car looks very nice, i love the vertex kit and the hood. They go great together. I'm not a big fan of the wheels, or crome handles. But overall it is a beautiful car.

looks mint.. very clean.. I dislike the handles and fuel door, they just stand out aside from the car.

Nice kit though, looks great. Also what size is the tires? width.. they look wide as ****
