Looks very nice. i was wondering if you didnt prefer not to have the back seats, since you have a rowbar installed.

 

wow those mirrors are insane expensive. I always liked them, and now that I have seen them on an non GT 8 I am not so interested in them anymore. Props though for getting them. They just seem a little out of place for some reason to me.

 

nice looks very clean

 

Roll-bar looks excellent, which one is it?

 

looks good, would you mind putting up better pics of the rear seatss, thanks!

 

His bar looks like an AutoPower model. I also have that bar in my 8, you can see photos in the below thread.

I can count on one hand how many times the back seats were actually used to transport people since i have owned my 8 (10/06). Of course many people are diff i guess. So i actually like the idea of a roll cage if u plan to split time between DD and track/autox. Looks pretty sweet man

 

Thanks for all the awesome compliments. I just got back from the Fast N Furious event. Definite pantie dropper. I had a huge crowd around my car the whole time (made me kind of nervous at times, "too close man, too close!") But hopefully there will be some decent pics up of the event later tonight that I can post in here. I have crappy cell phone pics and just realize they are all of the car with the doors open, no closed shots.

I have a charity car show tomorrow so hopefully more pics will come from there as well.

 

i kind of actually like the mirrors
reminds me of craft square mirrors
looks good!

 

I just got bad angles of it. I think everyone (for the most part) will understand them better in an ungrainy picture taken at a better eye level presentation. mirrors like these look like they float, so the angle a picture is taken at has a huge impact on how they "appear." They are high (just like any other GT mirror.. how else do you think you can see..) but not too high. Also the CF aero kit is growing on me. Definitely needed work after I got them back, but I've been trying to rework them to make them look more presentable and I'm getting close.

 

 

I need to sort through some forums and see who has pics of my car when the doors were shut lol..

 

Eh, not the one I was looking for but I'll keep searching lol:

 

Are the mirrors supposed to be installed on the door? Seems the height would be perfect...

What is on your lip?

Nice clear pic!

 

I like the stance of the car. Not the mirrors though, they look out of place.

Time for some dark TINT!

 

Its a "lip clip" I've been banging the car up extra hard and need it to keep from totally obliterating that lip hahaha... I might win shows, but this thing is made for racing.

And the height on the mirrors IS perfect. It was made specifically to go where the stock mirrors are. If the mirrors sat any lower you couldn't see anything with them...

 

thanks, can't race with dark tint and I'd rather not give cops another reason to pull me over lol. Plus I don't wanna hide the CF interior parts and my roll bar.

 

What? cant race with dark tint???
And I thought you said that the lip in its current split form prevented you from banging it up...

 

Going over bumps. It doesn't change the final height of it. And of course making it high centered gives it a perfect breaking point lol. No biggie. Problem solved and adds a little color to the front. Something else a little different.

But I won 3 classes so I take it they like the car a lot. Its won everything its been entered in so hopefully it does as well on the track. Unfortunately its on the back burner until my true love, my DSM is finished.

 

Couple more..

 

Im not familiar with any regs against window tint in fact at HPDEs you need your windows open... So I was sondering about that....
And what did you make your splitter brace out of...

 

Nice!

 

Damn that trunk w/ molded in spoiler is the ****. That hood is tight as well.
