My Ride
 

For now, I am posting pictures of my car when it was stock. I will be washing my car tomorrow, so I will be posting updated pictures of my car.

cleannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Mazdaspeed always looks great!

i was wondering why you were posting pics of a stock car. i see why now, kinda like a before and after thread.

looks good. you should finish it off with the MS spoiler too though. also some nice wheels.

lovin the front end... might want to get a clear bra if you dont have one already...

Haha, don't have enough $$. The MS spoiler is too played out. I'm looking for a spoiler that is unique. In terms of wheels, I first need to save up some cash, then I'll be looking for rims. I think mesh wheels look so sexy on a black 8.

Yeah, I was going to get a clear bra. But, I figured that even with a clear bra, I was going to have nicks here and there since it's a daily driver.

Thanks fellas.

Really clean, I really like it!

One thing about the MS kit though, I've never liked the rear.

Exhaust time.

Yeah, some people don't like the rear.

??? I already have the exhaust made by Racing beat.

Also, props to my friend Dan Hong (iamdanomite) for the installations. The man knows a lot about cars.

Looking good! Nice, tasteful mods. ;) That Dan guy has pretty good taste in mods.

Haha yeah, your car and his car are basically twins.

looks very nice! in order to get away without getting new rims, for now, just get black lug nuts. it looks much better, thats what I do with my stock wheels when going to the track.

I'd rather just save up for rims. I really like the Volk lug nuts too.

Clear bra would be worth getting. I've kept my front off for 5 months waiting to find time to get it clear bra'd. My car is a daily driver as well, but it's so worth it not having to repaint every 6 months.

Yeah, I understand what you mean. I wonder how much it would be to get a clear bra installed.

get a MS wing, and get wheels lol and some aggresive offset, dont get anything higher than +35 or even 30. get +25 atleast

8 looking great! Now it's time to get some rims.

I think the MS wing is played out. I am leaning towards the Racing Beat lip spoiler or the knightsport lip spoiler.

Yes, I am wanting rims very badly. Don't have too much money yet.

Nice pics....the Ms wing would look nice on your car...;)

Thanks Leesha. Thinking about getting a lip spoiler. I think it would flow better than the MS spoiler.

Must say, I'm damn happy to know my SS is sold to someone with great taste. Nice ride.

i want a bb so bad.

^^I wanted a BB too. But I just got the Appearance front and sides put on with both front and rear mudguards. I feel much better now. :)

Real MS! Always the way to go if you go that route.

Haha, thanks for your kind words. I'm just trying to save up for some rims.

I think all 8 owners want other colors other than their own.

I have a feeling that you'll be changing your mind very soon. I got bored of the stock look very quickly.

I completely agree. Can't go wrong with insurance coverage and a perfect fit.

Very Very Nice!

I realized I forgot to compliment you on your beautiful car. I'm just in denial that I couldn't go home with a BB so I thought getting more body pieces would make me feel better about my car--don't ruin it for me LOL! Coulda woulda shoulda.

Your car looks too nice.... I hate you haha

BB is way to go... duhhhh

Hey, nice looking BB.

Quick question, where did you get the grill mesh from? Thanks!

it comes with the mazdaspeed front bumper

Thanks.

Haha, I got you man. Didn't mean to spoil it!

Haha, BB is the way to go. Your car is nice too man.

Yup, what Dan said, it comes with the Mazdaspeed Bumper.

What did you do with stock bumper?

I'm assuming that you're talking about the front. I sold it to reddevilwarrior a while ago. I believe he added the OEM lip and foglights.

Hey I love your car! where did you get your MS Body Kit?

Thanks. I got my bodykit from Trussville Mazda. They're the best vendor in terms of Mazdaspeed exterior parts in my opinion.

what eye lids are those?

R-Magic

nice 8!

I agree, it doesn't look complete until you throw a different spoiler on there.

I know you say the Mazdaspeed spoiler is played out, but by your reasoning isn't the Mazdaspeed bodykit played out as well? Typically, the spoiler is a package deal with the kit.

I think the mazdaspeed spoiler would look the best with that kit. It completes the look, which IMO, is awesome. If I had $4,000 lying around, I would definitely get the Mazdaspeed kit/spoiler. Looks awesome.

Yup, they're the R-magic eyelids. These bad boys were $250 shipped.

You're right in terms of the Mazdaspeed kit being played out. I guess I should re-phrase my previous statement. I don't have the OEM spoiler anymore. So, I'm leaning more towards a lip spoiler.

beautiful, I love the BB

Thanks. I just got a new MS bumper put on because 3 deers decided to run into me instead of away from me. Haha, and like I said before, I don't have the spoiler anymore. I'll try to take pics over the weekend.

thats nice !!
