New Pics of my Whitewater Pearl

Hey got some new rims on a few more mods.-- Originally I had the tails smoked, but it just didnt look right..im getting used to this look and im liking it a lot more. Plus I dont have the pink backup lights with it....

Next is lowering, so dont bother saying it..feedback is appreciated though, especially about the tails because im still in the middle

Not a bad look, I like it.

I was just about say something about lowering and then read your post again, cool. It might be nice to have that clearance though?

I like the tails a lot, what has been done to them? They look smoked to me??

Not really feeling the silver accents (gas cover and door handles) but I do see where youre coming from. Nice car!

I am shocked how many people LOVE the mazdaspeed wing.

thats the ings+1 wing... i dont know, i love it..I honestly think its the smoothest looking wing for the shape of the 8. In person it just seems to flow on there, a lot better than the MS wing i think, and more apparent than the lip spoilers. Thanks for the input everyone!!

I think it looks great and really like the tail light tint. I'm planning on doing this and think the tails look better smoked or tinted on a white 8. The wing looks pretty good to me (not usually a wing fan) as it doesn't rest on stands or anything it's still somewhat streamlined. If you still have the aluminum fuel cap cover on, I think it looks out of place and disrupts the clean lines of your white 8. For the most partl everything looks good though.

yea true those side skirts are a pain in the ***. The only good thing I can say about the urethene is it saves you money when you need it to. I bumped a car a few months ago going a few miles an hour, and instead of the fiberglass cracking, I just had a few pieces of paint flake off.

The gas covers painted pearl white now, its just hard to see at the angle of the pic
