My Black on Blue
Here are some pictures of my 2006 RX-8 that i purchased new when i worked at Galpin Autosports and Pimp My Ride back in June of '06. Let me know what you think so far
http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...l/DSC03041.jpg This was right after i smoked the headlights, painted the foglight housings, and painted the trim on the side mirrors. http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...l/DSC03039.jpg Here are all of the interior parts and side mirrors all scuffed and ready for paint. http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...l/DSC03038.jpg Headlight fresh out of the booth. http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...l/DSC03031.jpg Rear end shot after the taillights were smoked and the rear bumber valance was smoothed and painted. http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...l/DSC03045.jpg Door panel before and after. http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...l/DSC03068.jpg Upper door panel before and after. http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...l/DSC03071.jpg Door panel all reassembled before reinstall. http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...l/DSC03049.jpg Bob Vandergraff laying out the flames. http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...l/DSC03054.jpg More pre-paint http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...l/DSC03081.jpg http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...l/DSC03096.jpg after being shot with the black base and pearl ghost skulls. http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...l/DSC03102.jpg close-up of some of the skulls http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...l/DSC03104.jpg http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...l/DSC03115.jpg Bobby adding all of the striping around the flames http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...l/DSC03142.jpg then comes the clear coat |

After the install of the metra kit with the kenwood ddx812, custom ipod cradle, and custom upper dash piece that houses the two dyn audio midrange speakers http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...l/DSC03484.jpg |
i am speechless.
but nice system. |
not a fan of the flaming thing, but good job on the audio system and the middle dash with clock still work, mine with Corksports never work anymore.
|
those are some badass mf flames for sure, but i dont think they belong on an 8. just my opinion. everything else is dope tho
|
WOW!
Nicely done man, if you're going to do flames, it pays to get quality work done. :) |
everything was done very well. but like its been said many times before flames do not belong on the rx8.
|
that is just crazy hooked up.
nice job. |
very nice. Im impressed
|
I have some more that i need to post on here but it appears as though photobucket is being gay right now and will not allow me to upload any more at this time so i will try to get more on here a little later.
|
I'm impressed. Your work is top notch.
|
I likes. Definite like how you painted the inside doors sweet.
|
i can't complain about the flames because i did not have to pay a dime for them. it is actually kind of funny because the guy that did them for me was just messing around with the fine line tape when i had my car car in the shop for the winter and he laid some flames out and i was just pretty much like "go ahead and spray it." so we stayed around the shop for the next couple of nights and we did the whole thing. i need to get some of the other side pictures put up because he broke the traditional flames up into tribal flames on the side of the car and it looks pretty bad ass.
i can understand though....different strokes for different folks right? |
damn nice! not my thing but thumbs up on the effort and dedication!

:worship: WOW!! this is one sweet 8, the interior is sick and the flames are growing on me. But one has to appreciate the time and effort that was put into this car for sure, if you have any more pics of the interior in the day, post them, expecially the set up on the doors.

couple more pictures of the exterior. http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...1224704297.jpg |
so do you use your car as a show car? If that's the case then I cant knock the flames too much since you want to draw attention. Otherwise, I agree that the flames arent the best look...
|
i am speechless. that is one fooking awesome wb. That interior is awesome!!!
|
wow, that is some amazing work. i'm not normally a fan of flames but done right with the ghost skulls, at least it's different and very artisticly done. that interior is just killer too.
not to add another .02 but did you think about smoking the corners as well? the orange markers really stand out and would look much cleaner if they were also smoked. |
That looks nice.
|
it is a show car but i also drive it in the spirng and summer. i will be taking it off the road at the end of this month and puting it back in the shop here to work on it some more.
as for the cornors, i am going to smoke those this winter along with finishing my audio system. i have 2 12's that are going to be residing where the back seats are currently located, 2 kinetic hc2400 high current batteries that are going to be glassed in on the floor boards behind the front seats, and my pride and joy....the arc audi 4000se that will find its home in the trunk next to the 4200se that drives all of the mids and highs. it is going to be a lot of fiberglass work but i am hoping to have it all complete by the world of wheels car show here in february. |
this car is bad ass. I saw it in person a couple months ago and wow. it looks good. There is so much detail put into the flames and it looks really good. Keep up the good work!

great work
