My new body kit + custom speakers
 
5 Attachment(s)
I decided before I have a kid I wanted to have a nice car, so I dropped a little bit of money and got a R-speed style Duraflex body kit, some subs & speakers, and a turbo. Still waiting on the turbo but here's the car as it stands right now.

Looking great!

Thats a sick box!

Thanks :-) I need to vacuum the trunk a little, it still has some wood particles and shavings from all the work I had done. I was scared about the spoiler when I first got it, but now I'm glad it went with it instead of a larger wing. The front just looks a lot more aggressive now, the stock bumper looks like it's got a smile but this one has that fierce look. Just need the turbo now :D

thats a great looking 8. im lovin the box as well.

Looks great except the eyelids. I would go with the Rmagic eyelids.

simplyphp 08-04-2008 05:39 PM

Yeah the eyelids kind of faded, looked better a few months ago.

TopGear8 08-04-2008 06:03 PM

Looks good, but it would definitally look alot better with some new wheels.

$1200 for PPG paint and the install.

I'll take a duraflex material over pure fiber glass any day, replica or not the quality material is what really matters :)

XDEEDUBBX 08-04-2008 11:35 PM

YOU NEED RIMS BAD...stock rims and body kit just doesnt look right...strakes can go too..

UFGator12 08-04-2008 11:37 PM

car looks great but an exhaust needs to be had as well. the pipes look so tiny with that new rear.

NgoRX8 08-04-2008 11:43 PM

next should be wheels and suspension. lower that thing. haha

BRGREEN8 08-04-2008 11:44 PM

drop+rims+exhaust.

BRGREEN8 08-04-2008 11:46 PM

Can't lower it because I have to be able to drive up the curb to get into my driveway, I already have to back it in to avoid scraping.

I've been looking at the Borla catback, I want to stay street legal because this is my daily driver.

I haven't really checked out other rims, might do that.

Great looking trunk. How much did that end of the setup set you back?

get the mazdaspeed springs + struts. its not that much of a drop but its a drop nonetheless. ( 0.75 inch drop all around, besides its a lot stiffer than stock. )

get the Racing Beat exhaust, its pretty quiet if noise is your concern.

enkei RPF1 would be a good choice, not very expensive neither.

just my .02 cents.

SideOfBacon 08-05-2008 12:30 PM

lookin good

reaper1 08-05-2008 12:36 PM

looks good even with your stock rims and keep the strakes.......
