Hey guys I did these pictures using photoshop 6. I added a body kit, a spoiler, painted it white, and tinted the glass and headlights. Let me no what you think.

Toadman

Good job.. Very nice.! :D

KayakDaddy

Nice photoshop job and great looking car!

I especially like the side skirt treatment and the front air dam. The side skirts make the already high-waisted car look even more so. I guess it's the proportion of sheetmetal to glass.

The rear spoiler goes well on this one, though I would try to opt out of that one if I could. I'm decidedly anti-huge rear spoiler in almost all applications. I've never been really big on rear spoilers, but seeing all of the "shopping cart" Civic's, Cavalier's, etc. has turned me against them altogether. I like how Mazda integrated a rear spoiler with that small lip on the back of the trunk lid, eliminating the need for an additional one.

Toadman

Can you photo-chop in a two-post painted urethane one like the 99 J-spec RX-7?

miata35

Hey toadman, sorry im a little confused could you repeat what you just said and maybe add a picture of the car or something? Thanks

miata35

Heres a picture of the same body kit in red that appears to be in motion. I think this one turned out pretty cool.

Toadman

WOW! Talented for sure. Nice stance with those 18/19"s and drop job. Find another 4-door that looks that wicked.

I meant the rear wing in the previous post. Replace the Metal/CF one with a urethane 2-support(both ends) painted wing. Something classy and accentuates the lines, not ricey add-on antenna or "shopping cart".

miata35

ok i'll try to find a wing that would fit the description. I'll post a picture tomorow

Immi

Thats some glorious stuff man.

Not to nit pick, but I'm guessing the car in the pic was originally red. How do I know? You forgot to change the color of the guage cluster cowl on the dash. Small detail - everything else looks very, very good.

The tinted head lights really balance the front very well. That car would look great in black or gun metal as well.

miata35

Actually the car in all the pictures was origanolly yellow. In the first picture, I changed the colors of the car seperate from the rest of the image, then i changed the color of the dash because I didn't like the white/yellow combination. In the second picture, I changed the entire image to a different hue, so the dash changed with the rest of the car. Im still working on that 2-post wing ill get it up today.

miata35

Hey toadman I worked on the wing a little is this what you were looking for?

miata35

I know a lot of people are skeptical of an RX-8 cabrio, but i thought this one looked decent. Here ya go.

Strider

the convertible is alright IMO, but the kit looks very well done. the rear wing... i'll have to agree with KayakDaddy on that one. great photoshop skills... keep 'em rollin out-

miata35 I like the Original photoshop job much better. Unlike other people, I prefer the rear wing you have on that photo. I do not understand how that can be "ricey" [which I find offensive] considering that it is similar to the wings on cars in the American Le Mans Series. Anyway great job, keep them coming. Don't stop and make some new body kits.

KayakDaddy

Miata35, your photoshop skills seem topnotch, see if you have time to have a go at this. Anyone else who wants to try, please feel free.

I'd like to see an RX-8 in the deep dark shiney blue like BMW uses on their new M5's. Make it kind of metalic or metalflake if you can. To make it easier for you, I'll attach picture of an example I found after some quick surfing. This is the prettiest color I've seen and looks great in person (this picture doesn't do it justice). If Mazda offers something like this color, it will be in my driveway.

As far as the rear spoiler goes, I'd like to see one that attaches on both ends, but is about half the height of the other one and smoothly curved down to the body. If you can't find one like that, one of the better looking stock wings on the market right now is the one on the new Celica GT. Even though it doesn't attach on the ends, it turns downward cleanly.

Thanks in advance and good luck!

How's this?

KayakDaddy

A 29 minute response time in the middle of the night, now that's service.

That deep blue looks great on the RX-8, I love it. I'll go with that if they release it. I can't get over how good it looks. BTW: you can still see a little yellow outline from the original color, but what can we expect from such a fast job.

Now, does anyone want to have a go at putting a body color wing on it similar to the Celica GT? Idealy, the wing would only connect at the ends, but that wing almost makes it look like it does. I'll attach a picture of the Celica's rear spoiler I just found after some quick surfing just to give an idea what it looks like.

What type of spoiler is that? That is so what I want.

prowler5622

i would like to see a dark matalic green RX-8 with lime green flames and a nice wing something like the wing on the supra in fast and the furious

miata35

Ok, heres the green one with the lime flames on the front. I know, it's really quick and dirty, I was lazy so i didnt clean up the edges too well. I'm not crazy about the spoiler, but that what they look like on the supras in the fast and the furious. A added some lower rocker panels as well to make the car apear lower. Check it out:

Immi

That looks neat.

prowler5622

thats my RX-8

prowler5622

thanx i would give any thing to own that car
:D :D :D

miata35

Here ya go see for your self. Lowered, rims, body kit, side exhaust, flames, mirror tint, tinted headlights, modified C pillar, you know just the usual rice job, But better.
