My first two mods

Well this is my very first wax/polish job. Turned out pretty decent.

Also added strakes and wheels. Looking pretty good!

Nice wax job. The rims on the other hand...not my cup of tea. A little too bling for my taste.

bling ain't my thing too...but i think they look better on darker colors like black, shinka, nordic green, but totally ugly on red, blue, white, etc.

Not to crazy about those wheels but maybe it's just the lighting and the camera?

Yea, the camera is only 1 megapixel, and I'm not the best camera operator :p
The rims are chrome, but they don't appear "that" bling in person. I am a woman though, just like we like diamonds that sparkle, I like rims that sparkle too hehe.

That's a ton of noise coming off those rims, but I surely understand the female desire for sparkle and your car does look nice. Me, on the other hand, would never part with my gunmetal VR's.

I was talking to Juan from wheelsnext.com about this. Apparently the RX-8's wide stance gives it an offset usually found on FWD cars.

Lady_Shinka, didn't you also get tinging done? I saw it on base last week and it looked like there was tinting.

Yes 20% all the way around. I don't really consider tinting a mod to the RX-8. Imo it should have come with tint!!
