WOW, while i think 22"s is way to big i think they may be needed to complete the large look. IMO that is one sick kit, and if you made a mould i would deff be interested. that kit looks sick. i wanna see how this turns out for sure!!! Props for the hard work too

looking good so far, can the rear doors still be opened? looks like there isnt enough room for them to swing open from the rear fender

wow that thing is crazy! big props on that work.

i also question if the rear door still open. the hinge is inside because of the extension of the door and fender, it looks like it won't.

Looks like it is going to be pretty extreme. Don't know if I'll be too fond of the 22" wheels, but lets see!

begins ascent of a mountain...
i was SO ready to hate this when I saw the number "22" in reference to wheel size...

reaches peak
but DAMN......that's all i have to say......damn.

screams from the top of said mountain
that **** looks hot, and it doesn't matter if the entire engine bay is stock.

(and i don't care who hears me)

Hey INSPIRE

I'm really in LOVE with your car with widebody 8, I have some idea to give you is you should go for 20 on the front and 22 on the rear with some nice deep dish wheels and put air ride on this car it's would be the one CRAZY 8 ever.

I'm really proud with your craftmanship on ur 8

Great work!

You definately need widier wheels to set it off, or put som spacers on the rims.

It looks like a really fat 8!

i dont know about 22's personally...maybe 20's up front and deep 22's in the back. i do wanna know how the back doors open...is it going to open into the bumper, slide, go up, or what? are you going to make a mold for the kit? real eye catcher. good luck with it!

I think it needs a wicked *** wing that nobody could even fantasize about right now if they tried.

Oh and the sides DO look like a 99-04-ish Mustang.

thiswas the 1st white mustang i googled for "Mustang 99"...lmao

Why would you want 22" rims?

Do you think that rims are directly proportional to the size of your manhood? Cause I hate to tell you this, but they are inversely proportional.

Why are people hating, and not appreciating the craftsmanship and work that went into it. I think it looks awesome, and if I had the money/skills I would do something crazy too, you can always buy another rx8....but thats just unique! I like it bro, keep us posted!!

That's alright bro, Like I said in the first post Pros and cons are expected, after all it is a forum.
Well guys, i've been really bored doing a lot of daily driven cars, I wanted something more. How do you make a sport compact car to stand out more than it already is. Especially in shows. Dont u guys sometimes get bored looking at RX8 or the Evo or the Z33...Too many of them and nothin new....Don't get me wrong, I still mod them the normal way but I need a mascott to shows u know.
here's my normal car, I drive it almost everyday

Dude you are a true baller and a true genius! You "inspire" me to do great things with my 8! You should really try and make a mold of that kit, and sell it.. I can't say if I like this or the R Magic wide body better!
