So i decided to give the 8 a wash, considering the weather is getting nice up here in boston, took a few pictures as well. you can see me hard at work. anyways, also have a number of pictures from last summer i never posted. Let me know what you think!














Last summers shots:
(before removal of pinstripe)

 

very nice looks clean. Glad you took off the pin stripe.

 

Nice! I need to get my car into Boston for some city shots.

 

^^^they are finally paving the awful parts of comm ave, its very nice!

thanks guys

 

based on these pictures, i was wondering what you guys thought about 25mm wheel spacers?

i know my offset isnt perfect, i just love these wheels. thanks

 

def need spacers, not sure i'd go w/ 25 though. look up 9krmps in san antonio. i forget what spacers he has but he made the stock wheels look super mean. i wish i had done that and saved myself a grand on new rims!!

 

thanks, i'll def take a look, i just did the math on the wheels and their offset and it looks like im 6 ish mm shallow from stock. i figure that a 10 mm might not be as agressive as id like, so maybe somewhere inbetween?

 

if you're 6mm IN from stock? then 10mm spacers would be a good start. maybe 15 for a better look, i guess it just depends on how close to flush you want. the car looks great, so personally just SOME spacers would help, i don't think you need to go with 20 or 25, personally, although i'm sure that would look good too.

 

^^^ noooooo 6 ish MM not inches!

Thanks man, the offset has just kinda been bothering me lately, but im hesitant because the car sees the track.

 

cool location, looking good

 

ha ha, no i know you were saying 6mm, i meant 6mm IN from stock, not inches. edited my post

 

how did you tint your taillights so lightly?? ive been wanting to do mine just like that for a while but i dont want to **** it up and them turn out too dark

 

not too shabby. But a little less camera tilting.

35% percent tint, either precut or just sheets, hairdryer, and ALOT of patience

 

JDM lean with the camera in the hand!

 

Angled shots make me dizzy.

But the car looks great!!

 

**** so you actually used film tint? very good job!

 

yeah, used it on my corners, 3rd brake light, tails, and whatever else i could get my hands on

its not too bad to work with once you get the hang of it, but the curves of the tails are a bitch

 

just wondering where did you get those colored rotary accents?

 

Car is looking nice.

 

Don't worry, relatively small spacers won't affect handling to a discernible degree.

Car looks good, simple and clean, keep it up

 

thanks guys, i appreciate the comments. got a few more plans for her this summer...stay tuned

they are the regular metallic ones, just looks white in the low light!

 

Nice ride man!!! I miss Boston.

Spacers would set it off. I just ran a 300 mile run with 27 other 8's on my 25mm spacers and the car actually seemed to handle better. We will find out soon on the track just how they perform

 

White is so sexy ! And I love your rims ! Really nice car man

(and nice avatar btw )

 

awesome, are you lowered on the 25 mm spacers? cause i am 6 mm in from stock right now, so i dont wanna rub

thanks! i just looked at your pictures, they are awesome too, very clean 8. i just need some skirts and a more agressive lip (maybe CF?)
