Hanging out tonight - decided to download and file some digital pics. Here are a couple I thought I'd share:

First, my RX8 the day after I bought it - taken at work, where I was showing it off.

Second, my RX8 the day after I brought it home from having the body kit installed - looking a little different.

My new obsession!

 

Very nice, I cant wait to get my MS kit soon

 

IMO, a perfect 8.

 

Looks great. Do you have a profile shot?

I'd like to see the Mazdaspeed kit without a wing (like you have).

BTW, those rims chromed look sweet! :D

 

looks great
fatter wheels? :D

 

One of the best 8's ive seen. I like how you have the kit but without a massive wing.

 

Looks Great!
You have any front view pics?

 

Nice!! Well sweet. Is that a black 3rd gen chill'in next door?

- Irish

 

I like it, don't do much more to it, I think you've done an excellent job.

 

did you paint the calipers yourself?

 

I'm pretty satisfied with how everything turned out - just had the final step done that I plan to take for now - had a two-tone grey/black "carbon fiber style" leather interior installed. It's a dark dreary day here - will have to wait for pics.

I am another VERY happy Racing Beat exhaust customer. The large pipes really filled in the large MS Kit rear opening. (The stockers looked like "tinker toys" to me) I initially went to the R-B exhaust for the look - but have come to LOVE it for the sound.

Re: the painted calipers - had the shop that installed the body kit do them for me

Re: the tires - the Bridgestone Potenza 18" stockers still - recently rotated - I rather like them.

Re: the other car "lurking" in background - a Montego Blue 95 RX7.

Re: request for more pics: (Note: pics do not show the R-B exhaust - you will see what I mean by looking "small").

Edit - OK so, I'm stuck at home with a sick puppy - decided to go out and take the final pic which shows the (dirty - been having fun!) R-B exhaust.

 

repost!!! hahaha how do you like the leather riccio?! hows the 7 holding up- jealous of her younger sister getting all the cool stuff?

 

Hi ya zoom44 -

Actually, the 8 was rather jealous of the 7 for awhile. I had the 7 repainted it's original Montego Blue (which is an AMAZING color when it is not all faded out), intalled 99 spec tail lights, and a 99 spec front lip, installed a new leather interior, new carpet and did all the reliability mods.

Then, my attention returned to my first love, my 8! If the fog/overcast burns off, I'll try to post a pic of the interior...........

 

Riccio - is that the RX8FUN lip spoiler? or the actual real euro lip spoiler? Looks awesome!

 

kev- how soon you forget!!! we met her at racing beat hers was parked outside of RB in the display of cars right near were the girl with the Tatoo was getting her pic snapped by everyone. hers was also the Titanium one parked in front of Mazda on top of the grassy hill during seven stock. hers has the same kit as mikeb (but a better install sorry mike)

 

YIKES! I must of had an RB moment

 

My kit was the third one they did - it could be the difference in kits, that the shop got better and better at doing it, or the fact I made them re-do the rear piece 3 times before I was satisfied......And, I am VERY satisfied with the kit - install, color match, everything.....

It's the R-Magic lip I bought from Leegina.

 

I think Jill may be the champion of aftermarket mods for the 8!

All done in a tasteful way. A great looking car!

 

Thanks for the pics. The car looks great. :D

 

Rice? Definitely not..... very classy and understated styling.
Love it!

 

JU chromed your OEM rims!!!!I want to do the same in my Velocity Red's Rims...Just perfect...I am in love with your Rim's mod!! :D :D :D

 

Chromed OE wheels rule.
