Looks good. Finish off the rear with the MS rear. Believe me, it makes a difference. And lose the strakes

Yea I'm actually thinking the kenstyle rear, I have a list of to dos this summer and its about 3rd.

I'm gunna paint a 2 tone black on the top half in about a month, which includes a full trunk debadge etc.

But first on the list i'm gunna pick up a nice forgestar set of black gloss rims from one of the vendors I love em...

As for the strakes... they are old and carbon fiber print.. I don't like them and probably will remove them.

Thanks!

Mazdaspeed, and i put the suspect face there because to me at least it seems too low to be mazdaspeed but who am I to judge. Maybe it's just because I feel like I scrape alot.

I think you should ditch the "eyebrows" and the strakes. The Kenstyle rear would go well with the rest of the kit. Maybe you should get that Lebren rotary light to fill that hole.

I know a lot of people dig the black and white combo. If done well, I kinda like it also. What I'm saying is, you gotta add a little contrast to your look. Wheels are by far the most critical mod you can make to your car, for both, performance and esthetics. Wheels are cool, I say wether you get 18's or 19's go 10" wide maybe in the low 30's.

I agree with the strakes no doubt but as for the eyebrows.. I have to keep them because when I paint the 2-tone black look it should finish really nice with them. If it looks bad then... then I would definately remove it.

As for the kenstyle with the Lebren rotary light 100% getting it, it completes the bumper.

I find my contrast is in my lighting, I don't have many interior pics but my car has a beautiful red led set arguably overkill... everything from footwell lights to courtesy lights to my red led illuminated shift ****, as well as some exterior puddle lights lol and.. the obvious stock red LEDS in the dash etc.

I will try and take some pictures, I would probably get red lugs for the wheels to give it that 3 colour tone. (red being the small accent)

As for the rims, thats them! I was thinking 18x10 but I'm not fluent enough in the rim category so I don't understand the benefits of being wider, and what will rub and what won't especially with my mazdaspeed springs.

Thanks for the comments!

This is so you get an idea of the size of the wheels, ignore the fender gap maybe use a 245 instead of the 265:

Black as a top colour is kinda gettin played out.
Personally I would look into shades of grey. I was gonna go with a flat black top until I saw how many have it, I am now going with an high gloss black with red tint and mad silver flake in it (mine is VR). It's amazing how photoshop with a seperate layer to change and check the colour can change perspective.
If you go black plz don't go flat. +get rimz.

Nice pics and the 8 is lookin' great.

I 100% would not do flat black so your safe there haha, I don't have photoshop nor know how to use it but I may start trying to learn, I want to see different combos as you have mentioned before I put any paint on the car.

word.
keep in mind a pinstripe colour can change everything. Black top/Red pinstripe, black top/grey pinstripe, Silvertop/black pinstripe. Silvertop/bluepinstripe....
...just letting you know b/c the white car gives you Many choices....get photoshop and it can be done in 10 easy steps, or, even easier, get someone to do it for you.

Finally got photoshop yesterday and did a mock of my summers plans for paint and rims.

I'm not sure how good it is because I'm not familiar.
