pictures needed

Anybody by chance have the following pictures of the rx-8?

1. front view
2. side view
3. top view

These need to be pretty dead-on, as in not from an angle. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think I've seen a directly overhead view of the RX-8... and I've seen just about EVERY pic of the RX-8, trust me.

Looks to me like he's creating a 3d model... and I think I might be able to come up with an overhead shot... won't be too great, but I think I can.

Let me work on it.

edit:- I can rip a low res... almost overhead shot of the front half of the car... but that's as good as it gets...

Let me know if it's of any use.

Yeah, I'm working on a 3D model of it. I've finished the front bumper, minus a couple touch-up areas. I don't know if I have the ***** to even attempt the interior, tho. But yeah, any pictures are of use, thanks.

Thanks Blue. I'll see if it comes in handy later on.

Danger: You're right, I could. I'm not really worried about the roof, tho. More so about just the general shape of the car itself. I know the front wheels have a rather...unique design. Should be ok, tho.

So have you had any luck?

I'm currently looking for the top view as well. Do you have any reference material? Thanks!

Buger, you are the Sh&$#^(@!

Buger, you got Schematics dude! How in tha?? hehe

You rock man, straight up!

I'm modeling this thing and I was originally going to suffice with just some straight on head shots. Only could I dream of having orthographic schematics!!!

With these I can create exactly what I wanted, I'll keep you posted on my progress and my website. Thanks Buger!
:D
