I've had my 8 for a year now and have struggled with rattling problems in the front brakes but have finally installed the wing that I wanted. It's the spoiler from the Xmen 2 movie. Get lots of complements on it and now want to get a new grill. Hate the plastic, it's a pain to clean. Would like some different ideas. Looked at mesh and saw a cool metal horizontal looking grill with rx8 on it. If anyone has some grill tips. Please let me know. Preciate it.

 

 

Idea #1: Lose the X-Men wing.

No offense to anyone that likes it, but I think it should have stayed in the movies.

 

yuh

 

makes me want to karate chop it!! hiyaaaa!

 

yeah.....ummmmmm.....I'm gonna need you to go ahead and take that off there

 

Personally, I like it, and always have since I watched the movie. Nicely done on doing something you like and sticking with it. All the people saying to lose it, it's thier own opinion and thier own likes. Go with what you like and great for you!!

 

thumbs down, more thumbs down to doing the grill the way you want

 

I like it. I am trying to decide whether to get one like that or the Mazda Speed one. Is it pretty sturdy or is it flimsy like a lot of other aftermarket stuff?

 

nobody said it's upside down yet.

 

IMO, the wing looks silly, I never liked the Xmen wing, but it's your car, so as long as you like it.

 

Oh yeh, and its upside down. j/k

 

Nice dude. Got mine about 3 months ago. Heres a silver one if someone is curious of how it looks.

 

I like it too. And no, its not upside down, thats installed the same way as in the movie.

Here's my front grill



I have since replaced the zip ties with chrome allen head machine bolts.

Good luck with your mods!

It was upside down in the movie too.

 

lol

 

i personally think the xmen wing looks ok, but would not put one on my car. Congrats man.

 

And it looked horrible in the movie as well.

 

yes, one 90 y/o at church one day said it's upside down. It looks good in person and is different. That's why I got it. Different. I had the mazda spoiler that looked like "a hump" and kept being complemented on my Eclipse. Was sick of it (not a Mitsubishi Eclipse fan btw). I had to take drastic measures. I'm going to take a new pic of it at a different view, it looks to evasive from that angle. It's very sturdy, it vibrates slightly on the tips above 110 mph, but had to squint in my rear view mirror to see it. A bit of a pain to wash, wax, and dry. But overall love it for setting it apart from the others in my area. Wanna see more pics of others with the same wing too. Holla again lata, Josh

 

Whoever confused your 8 with an Eclipse is a moron.

 

 

LMAO!!!!!

 

you know I was not a fan of this in the movie or most pictures I saw

but once I saw it in person I was shocked...it really does look good

 

Funny guy magellen, funny guy.

 

you are a bastard in a good way

but seriously it doesn't look that bad in person...although I prefer the stock wing
