My local house Meet-Infinity upgrade,ms replica grill inserts
Hello All
This saturday weather was great so I decided to help out the local rx8
guys.while alex had to upgrade his stock sound system
yo sop got his car back from bodyshop with no mesh and stock plastic trim around coolers left on.so it made the front look wack
easy fix after running to local homedepot and getting some pest mesh wire.mostly used for outdoor patio's.I forgot to take some before pixs but it made a dramatic change in the front.but I must not lie I amazed myself
didnt take that long just was a pain while trying to help the guy that was here doing some privacy fence in my backyard.
meanwhile alex's rx8 needed to be finished up with dynamat and front speaker install.which sound great.
pixs suck but just thought i would document it
later kel

SHAWN81 a upgrade from nonbose to infinity all around
no amps, a easy upgrade but alex wanted dynamat on doors to stop the vibration
which seemed to work and sounds great.I believe all the speakers costed him 140.00
SILLYGRL rear is replica and I cant good shots for you since camera is only 2.0 but in the daylight now that i see them rear bumper it fits perfect only difference is that side vent.
moostafa29 the cadillac grill was his choice and I personally would of done something else.
I offered to do the front the same as the coolers but...
everyone else thanks.
any feedback is cool

j/k Chrism didnt have time turned it on to check the lights for a few but never
mounted them.im gonna be busy for a while so I suggest he can get them done
by a shop.MY car is gettign jealous and needs some attention.
sillygrl its a direct rear bumper replacement.fits great looks exactly same except for vents.its urethane and he got it from Rotary Extreme.front bumper has a emblem that says kbd or something like that.I think youngpit has the same one.from the sema rx8.

well on the interior stuff it had a targa switch i just didnt check for one for the outside.
but they are like 3 bucks at autozone or any kmart.
LiL Benny
once the bumper is off i was able to see that the replica had '6- 1/4 extra urethane assuming where the original would mount too.a small drill and 6 screws nothing fancy or custom work.I imagine adding some epoxy or a hot glue gun to the sides will hold up for the later years.but
build cost $12.35
freebies-nada
i regret not getting some before and after shots
or at least the process for the intrested but its simple and if anyone needs more detail just p/m me.
thanks kel
