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

 

Easy install. First impression: Sounds good!

 

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.

 

Thanks for that, I haven't heard of it before. I'll see if its available in New Zealand. Cheers.

 

Got my full Ings bodykit today!



Going to test fit it next week, and if its okay then Ill take it do a bodyshop and have it painted. Installing it myself.

Btw. Anyone here that can read japanese?

 

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?

 

You can't go wrong with Ings :D
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?

 

I kinda want to go bronze, just to be different.
They have them In black and grey (aluminum color) aslo.

 

Looks good man!
