I like it

+1 for pics of bumper

 

Before you say anything, it's not finished,

Trying to figure out if I should paint the waffle part black or leave it blue. The rotary will have a red light or reflector in it.

Waiting for the weather to warm up , then I can work on her.

 

painted my strut bar, that's about all

edit: mind the brightness of it, for the flash has made it a sorta white colour.

 

Nope Get yourself a Blitz Radiator cap (you can see one in my photo) and you'll be set

1. I love how you moved RX-8 to the left on the trunk lid. What were the steps?

2. Definitely paint the fake grill black, or get one to insert in there. I think rx8strakes.com has some?

3. Like the look of it, what were the steps for the bumper?

 

Looks great! the engine bay looks good, too. not overdone at all, imo. wish *I* knew some autobody students

 

Im diggin the blue paint job under the hood. Nice added touches to make the car pop some more. I want to show my RX8, so thats a great touch!

 

Regarding Autobody Students. Contact your local Technical College, they are always looking for cars to work on - but you must be willing to leave if for a bit - 1 week or two pending the classes.

 

Re the RX8 - When you take off the MAZDA piece there are 2 holes - the RX8 can be removed after heating up - it's just glued on - careful not to pull to hard and break. = I filled in the holes with silicone, smoothed it in and applied the RX8 over top with a good 2way tape. - Easy

Re the paint job - hardest part for the Autobody Techs was the sanding of the plastic grill - had to smooth it so that the paint will adhere - very long and hard process - I felt sorry for the student. He had a 1 inch sander to fit in all the groves - same goes for the under hood stuff - it also had to be baked / washed/ baked ... to remove all oils out of the components before painting. Long process.
