That car is the ideal RX-8, sophisticated and elegant style. Those shots, imo, are what make the 8 different from every car on the road. Very impressive, and I'm sure it's still a complete joy to drive.
That thing still looks brand spankin new.

Thank you guys, It´s nice to get that good reviews from over seas.
The rx8 community here in Iceland isn´t that big, think there are only like 5 guys modding there 8´s a little, so it´s easy to be the first doing some nice modds
Now the planing is to be first to get a turbo! But it´s easyer to say then do it here in Iceland haha
No it´s replica, bought it from a guy here in Iceland and it took a lot of work to make it fit :s

Great looking shots
Some tint would finish the car off nicely
Are you using different rotors front and rear? I ask because the slots are going in different directions. From the looks of it your running Racing Brake rotors -- therefore the rears would be correct. Depending on the vanes direction inside the fronts (if not RB rotors), they could be directional or not. Correct me if I'm wrong, its hard to tell from the pics.
