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

Car looks great! I like whe wheels alot, although i think they would look better in black, they still go great with the car.

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 agree.

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
