Who said the RX8 isn't a practical car?
Got my Racing Beat exhaust today, and I'm about to install it

It sure was fun peeling the dip off, very fascinating how it works :-)
By "plasti dip" do you mean spray paint as I would like to do the same. Black badges on a black car!!

It's plastic in a can that you spray.
Have a look at DipYouCar.com
they have some great videos on how to do it.

Happy with the result. Almost looks like a new car.







Going to give the car a cleaning tomorrow and then fix a little bit on the kit. Then do a photo shoot-

Very nice. How was fitment of the kit? Did you need to drill any holes in the bumper/skirts for mounting?

I installed out myself.
The fitment is good, but a little of by the side markers. It's an easy fix, I believe. I'm going to sand out down around 3mm and the fitment will be flush.

With side skirt, I did drill holes and filled in with some anti rust and sealant were the screws goes.
But I guess you could just use double side tape and some sealant.
There is a 1 or 2 mm gap on each end. Plan is to fill it with silicon and brush red paint over it.

On the rear exhaust covers it's a perfect fitment, except were the black parts meet. I used black sealant too remove a 2-3mm gap. I'm going to apply some more, sand it down and spay paint the whole black part of the car on the rear.

Nice. I plan on going INGs myself when cash allows. Only the skirts and rears though. I'll be running a lip of some description up front.

Have you decided what wheels you'll be running?

Not sure, but I kinda like these

It started snowing here, so I'll put on my winter wheels. And won't be buying new wheels until spring.
Btw I didn't use silicon after all, found out that you can't paint over silicon. So I used adhesive sealant.

They'll look great coupled with lowering. You going to go with the bronze or do they offer other colours?
