In Progress
 

Hey everyone been a while since I've been on the sight and thought I would shame some pics, let me know what ya think,

XXR 527 wheels 17x9.75
Ksport Kontrol pro coil-overs
(Knock off) MS spoiler
E-bay lip kit (knock off) with sticker-bombed front
Turbo XS race pipe and exhaust
Altered and chopped rear bumper
Fender strakes
Front bumper secure springs
Nite shades tail light paint
Rx 8 performance aluminum under tray

could do without the stickerbomb lip to start

Yeah... not really feeling that sticker bomb on any car really.

The front bumper looks kinda weird without the corners

I'm not a fan of the bumper, the bumper springs, or the strakes.
Too busy for my taste, but I'm an old fart.:)

Here's a weird idea, maybe the lip isn't enough, maybe a bigger area of the bright sticker would look better. More of a statement. At the end of the day, as long as you like it!!!!

Nice...except the lip. lol

Not digging the stickerbomb on the lip.

your next mod: Meguiars Headlight Restoration Kit

I know there arent many rainbows in wyoming, but you must've ran over the only one in the state and got it all over your bumper :yelrotflm

By the way the last pic looks like you're in.. Cheyenne?

What did you drive before purchasing this RX-8?

^ :rofl:


Not feeling anything added onto the car actually. The sticker bomb, missing corners, stupid bumper latch, flaking sideskirts and rear valence that is freaking held on by self tapping screws. The stock tow hook too?! WTF? The bumper is yoinked so far up that it's sitting on your fender :lol: .

Ohhhh, I get it. It's a work in progress because you're restoring what the previous owner completely screwed up on? AWESOME.

HA HA... Actually no I am on the other side of the state... south west corner

Hey tried that 2x and still not work, I had my auto body guy sand and clear them two years ago, will have that done again when I get days off of work

The car is driven hard, the clips help with bumper removal simplicity and since its been ripped off so many times there is nothing left to secure it, took the corners out, side skirts have been ripped off a few times, rear valence's stainless bolts not screws stock tow hook was needed no point in buying one, yeah front bumper does pop in and out all the time on that drivers side corner, need more zip-ties!!!

I did notice you liked my bell though!:moon:

So basically what your saying is, that you don't know how to drive.

^lol same thought process going through my head reading his last response.

And the fact that he clarified that he used SS bolts on the rear flares and not screws really gave me a chuckle.

I'm scared to ask, but what is the emblem opposite of the "RX-8" emblem. The pic is poor quality, but it doesn't look like the "Mazda" emblem.

^Must be a drift car,their always having to screw the parts back on LoL!!!!

Well 9krpmrx8, I only figure if your going to talk trash and try to make fun you should at least get it right...

Anyway thanks for all the interest even if it is mostly negative I really appreciate it...

And yes it is a "Mazda" emblem...

how is it your bumper and side skirts have been "ripped off" so many times?

Last fall had my spoiler ripped off trunk one night in D.C. Left the supports sticking out and trunk dented upwards from force. Not a fun way to start next leg of trip to NYC. Perhaps OP has people who just like to hassle him via his car?

Jedi54 front bumper (3) times, happened once with a light pole and another time when I hooked my buddies car while following to close coming out of a drift while I was following, once more when I was doing my suspension and I had a wheel right under the front bumper and the jack which was a POS lost hydraulic fluid and the car came to a rest on the wheel ripping off the bumper... side skirts (1) time each side, one ripped off on the freeway when a semi blew a tire out in front of me, another time going off a track and the height of the pavement was higher than the dirt. I daily drive my car and track it so I fix what I can when I can, dive and track-ability are my main concerns

REtali8 nothing has been ripped off my car I have had it kicked in my drivers side rear door and some one put a nice basket ball sized dent on my trunk lid before spoiler... I have had strakes stolen once... people can be so stupid and immoral...

holy smokes

You called it man.
