Thanks man :)

Ill get some more pics of the interior and front engine bay shot soon. Thanks guys! and thanks toad for the drivin shots on the Dragon!

i really like the color, it looks purple in the second pic

yea messing with the hue and sat.... look at the windows on the other car too :P

i've always wanted my car to be black metallic :)

Looks really great - I'm liking the fenders.

car looks great dude; but I don't think the chrome goes well with the theme

psh jealous... :P

What lip spoiler is that? Good stuff btw.

first post

car is lookin good man. that drive looks fun as well.

Car looks awesome, nice!

Car looks good Patrick.... and the chrome looks great in person.

got some more pics of your dragon run, check my photobucket

looks nice! Did you notice any cooling difference with the more vented fenders? Also how much work did it take to make those fit well?

goregous, nice work man!


Great choice on the paintjob color, i love it!

thanks man!

the vents are non functional with the fender liners still in.

bump.

Im still sexy ;)

Push start? Pics plz !?

very old pic, all i got now, i will update interior shots soon

Nice 8...chrome looks good but a different set would set it off..and i would drop the eibach's and go with the Tien's.

Does the top of your license plate say "Transporter"?

Shoot, I had assumed SGM meant Stormfront Gray Metallic (a Mazda color).

Damn. Ur car has my vote as the best all around looking 8 i have seen on this site. Everything from the color, flush wheels/tires, ride height, trim....its freakin gorgeous man. Perfect combination. Super clean/sleek look.

very sexy....but you gotta get rid of the veilside sticker.....that was so last year on your car!

Cant get in my driveway or anywhere really with TEIN :)

yes it does, got a job for me?? :P

nope custom lexus color

Thanks a lot man! won 0 trophies :(

The sticker looks good man, veilside hood in store so it stays for now :)

Added some more stuff, 1st post updated ;)

i have a hood for sale if you need one

thats a long list of mods

i would love it if i didnt just buy an REW motor for my other rx8 :)


haha yea... doesnt include things that have been changed/wrecked/redone/maintenance :(

bump for my sexy bitch ;)

some things added! check out the engine bay

Let me know whe you are ready to sell the car!!! No for real let me know.

Any more interior pics? How did the mazdaspeed 3 seats mount up?

Man that car looks hot. i never been a fan of those fenders. but ill tell you, did a awesome job changing my opinion about them. awesome work g3tr

Wow! Your ride is soooo clean. Nice work!

not quite the same anymore :P and for sale

^^^ so hurry up and sell me your fenders without needing me to send you my OEM's! :(

dang. i'm loving the color. how much did it cost you?

im loving the greddy oil filter relocation kit looks badass on top like that. If I get it I wasnt sure if I should go up with it or down with it. I like yours though

car is getting parted out. :sadwavey:\
