Shawrf1,

Very very nice. I'm not a fan of graphics but your's even looks awesome with the graphics on it. And those rims are a vast improvement. Very tight.

 

I dunno what to say but... WOW...
Awesome looking ride man, if people have negative comments, ignore it, you represent us well

 

Those wheels are gorgeous...cant wait to see your engine mods. Keep up the good work......

the wing is hideous.

 

The thing with wings is that they are derived from those used in professional race cars which have a bit of r&d and engineering history behind them. On the track they have a functional purpose in terms of aerodynamics and stability, albeit only evident at speeds in excess of 120mph. In addition to that functionality, the side plates serve as "advertising space" for sponsors. In terms of aftermarket wings for street cars and show cars, it's all about getting the "look" of those million-dollar professional race cars, whether or not the car will ever touch a real race track...

 

good points... but the wing looks hideous

 

Droolssssss------->TE37 Rox!!!

 

what front lip is on the sunlight silver RX-8 on page 4??

 

hey rob...

this is wayne (used to be from HIN). the car looks awesome! although i like the TE37's more on your 8. i just got a silver 8, and have been working on her...sucks cuz i i dont have time to do much because of my new show...hope to talk to you again soon!

oh yeah...what happened to the subaru? hope all is well in korea! best wishes!!!

 

He sold the subaru

 

What size are the rims/tires and offsets?

 

Looks perfect for the race track. A bit overkill for the street.

 

Wayne: Congrats on the new show! Looks like you've got a busy year ahead of you. Korea isn't too bad - i'm getting separation anxiety from my daughter, but all is well. Sold the WRX... I don't know the owner/kid too well, so I can't comment.

cortc: the TE-37's are F: 19x8.5 +43 and R: 19x9.5 +34. Still getting info on the Ro_Ja Formula 2's.

Lightemup: just caught your post... I'm serving a 1-year tour in Yongsan/Seoul, originally from CA.

 

why put the most fugly wing on an 8??

 

Since you took time out of your day to post your flamboyant question, I'll try my best to answer. Your opinion of the wing is subjective. You don't like it, others do, there's nothing you nor I can do to change opinions. If you accept that, we're halfway there and I'll sleep better tonight.

On a whole, I'm not a fan of gargantuan wings. However, having seen the aggressive Veilside kit added to all sides of the car, I feel (feelings are subjective, see?) the wing gives aesthetic balance to the rear of the car, more so than a bare trunk would. This, combined with the fact that Veilside provided the parts gratis and that I'm 100% behind their great products, makes it a no-brainer on the wing.

DAMN that is one sweeeet RX8. Hope I can do that to mine but since i live in alaska it's not worth it. I love the wing! who and how much for the wing? I like the hood but I gotta go with carbon fiber. once again great looking ride.

 

veilside knows what's up

 

looks hot...

but i feel that at the front, the nose drops down too much, and makes the car look like it's got a huge nose, something you'd see on a halloween witch. kinda gives it a bad ***/freaky/don't mess with me or i'll turn you into a cat kind of look...

 

Hey Rob...

thank you...the year has been really hectic already...hope to see your 8 when we do our LA Coliseum show! Take care overseas man...and we'll see ya when you get back to town...

car looks awesome! let me know if you sell those wheels...i would be interested in them as well...

best wishes...
wayne
