Nice, you spent some $ but you forget to lower your car!

CarAndDriver 04-09-2007 12:01 AM

A bit over the top for me, but you certainly have put a lot of work into it.

NoTears316 04-09-2007 12:02 AM

TurboEight 04-09-2007 12:02 AM

BigOLundh 04-09-2007 12:36 AM

im not gonna tell you what i think - im just gonna assume we have a very different sense of taste

BigOLundh 04-09-2007 12:44 AM

:)

XDEEDUBBX 04-09-2007 01:19 AM

Brettus 04-09-2007 01:20 AM

i agree with you on this one, i just have a different taste as you but looks like you put a hell of a lot of work on this.

dbright007 04-09-2007 02:00 AM

I like it. Wish I had the time and the money. Might skip the a few of the exterior things, but what the hell.

Sato Tatsuya 04-09-2007 06:51 AM

I like it! How are the rear lights? Can you see clearly out from those tints?

mysql101 04-09-2007 06:56 AM

I say get a CAI (one without a foam intake), replace all the greddy hoses with better ones, fix the top strakes so that they're level with the ground (the mazda instructions are incorrect, which is why dealers sometimes have the strakes installed this way), get rid of the mazda logo on the front windshield, and get rid of the stickers unless you're actually sponsored.

ЯX-8 04-09-2007 07:16 AM

Am i tripping or are your strakes not even?!

why check out your garage when you have a 'thief's menu' with all the stickers? not my taste but everyone is right - you have put in a lot of work and to each their own. it certainly is different so that's always a plus.

lesper4 04-09-2007 07:35 AM

well here it comes:
strakes are crooked
mazda logo is about 2x too big
your car doesnt look lowered
you need some type of body kit factory or aftermarket
loose the black stripe, it doesnt go all the way
your exhausts shrouds are different color then your rear underbumper

nice turbo
nice black badging
Sweet sound system
nice black grills (by the strakes)
nice lack tailights

the stripe isnt made to "go all the way"
i know about the strakes they need to be tightened
if i lower it i wont be able to pull in my drive way
im painting the whole back bumper and exaust shrouds back to black
and i like the oversize mazda decal :rock:

No need in doing that if you are getting the MS bodykit.

Moostafa29 04-09-2007 09:44 AM

At least your trunk looks nice. Engine bay is filthy, and not a big fan of all the stickers and crooked strakes.

alfy28 04-09-2007 09:53 AM

nice turbo . as for the stickers im not feeling it ( but then again i dotn like stickersers on cars) btw are you going to drop it? but besides that looks nice

dmp 04-09-2007 10:35 AM

kar looks terrible with the stickers - Removing every sticker would make the kar 100% better-looking.

NgoRX8 04-09-2007 10:48 AM

you're missing an undertray. be careful with that.

More_Revs 04-09-2007 10:54 AM

I'm too late...

IMHO, if you have to have stickers and blacked out tail light (which will get you pulled over btw), at least lower the car. Really. Stock height and stickers don't go together. But then I like stealth, so I don't like stickers.

Flynbri 04-09-2007 11:19 AM

I'm not a huge fan of the stickers (unless someone is paying you to have them there), but then again I'm not really into getting the validation of others regarding my car. I'm never going to post pictures and ask what anyone thinks, because, no offense to anyone here, but I don't care what anyone else thinks. That being said though, it looks like you've put a lot of work into it and if it matters, I honestly like the wheels being painted black. My 8 is black and I think that black on black combo might look good (at least until I figure out what kind of after-market wheels I want, it might give it a "one-off" look while I'm deciding). Anyway, did you do that yourself or do you at least know what went into it?( type of paint, etc.)

yeah thats a great idea because its clear you havent gone far enough with the black/red color combo. I suggest ordering the mazdaspeed kit in black.

I actually have a simpler idea...
https://www.rx8club.com/vbgarage.php...ype=im&id=2805
You may want to try putting down ur ebrake and just pushing the car back about 10 feet. I think thats your best way to save this disaster.

ok that was mean, im sorry. i can tell you do really like your 8 so thats good.
i should probably stop posting in this thread now :(

Some very good advice. And we can tell he knows what clean and simple is because of his trunk setup.

Nick R 04-09-2007 12:24 PM

Where in Wisconsin are you from? Haven't seen many modified 8's. Actually for that matter not that many 8's in general.

Personally you went a little over the top as I perfer more of a serious sports/factory look. To each their own.

More_Revs 04-09-2007 12:59 PM

umm, didn't notice that. I'm in Appleton area, maybe would should have a Wisconsin meet some time.

Transam kid 01 04-09-2007 04:35 PM

Not a fan of the stickers, stripes, tail lights, and crooked strakes....but at least you put some power into ur car...

myriadshalaks 04-09-2007 06:02 PM

bit overdone for me. r you the one that painted the hood with a rattle can? and r those just painted factory rims? no no. that junk's gonna chip off and mess with the brakes, i would bet. and it looks terrible, imo, no offense.

looks great under the hood and trunk though.

R888 04-09-2007 06:19 PM

You got PM!

Lets go for a drink and take some photo!!

Cheers!

Check the Road America Thread in the MW forum. We have a few cars going to the track at Elkhart Lake :rock:

TomAssBender 04-09-2007 09:34 PM

I think black on VR takes away from the amazing paint. I've never been a fan of smoked lights, but I must say I've never seen an 8 that looks like yours.

im from beaver dam (dodge county)

NgoRX8 04-09-2007 09:39 PM

it's more like blacked out lights. i'm not a big fan of black out.

9krpmrx8 04-09-2007 09:43 PM

Can somone photshop all the black stickers and the other black accents so I can see what my stockers will look like in black on a VR?
