Just wanted to post a pic of my awesome car. It is truely a fine *** piece of machinery. Someone actually took this picture while I was driving and sent it to me. I live in Okinawa, Japan and there aren't many around yet. More pics to come.

are you planning to add a body kit? I think it would help to balance out the size of the wing IMO. Glad to see you satisfied with your 8.

For the ground effects, I'm going to keep it simple looking. I will put some chrome wheels and different exhaust on it. The car is great but the gas mileage sucks ***.

Especially at the prices you pay per gallon in Japan. What are gas prices like in Japan now?

Good God, that has got to be the biggest wing I've seen on an 8 so far. In the same vein as Konig's post, I think it looks quite disproportionate, but to each his own. Are you military or are you a native Okinawan?

Welcome. Nice ride. That's a pretty good size ironing board on the back.

Yeah, it must be the picture. It actually compliments it alright to me. I'm a civilian here working on base. Gas prices are around $2 a gallon and i'm getting about 12 miles per. The Y on my plates designates anyone with the military community and I thought having the 8 as a number fits. My car is right hand drive and we drive on the left side of the road. I've had it up to 187kmh/115mph on the expressway here that has a 48mph limit. That was off the record of course! And I'm glad I waxed the car the day that pic was taken. Let me know if anyone needs anything from this side of the world. Later all and thanks for the welcome.

I think alot of people are being nice because you are new to the site... post this picture on the exterior appearance and bodykit section and dont mention that you are new, the comments you receive will be different. I will be the first to say that your spoiler looks like ***, and your idea about the chrome wheels would be the icing on the *** cake. Cheers, and welcome to the club.
