So fitting in with the theme that Im altering in someway or another every panel of my car,,, New mirrors,,,,
Started yesterday and heres where I am at as of now...
The idea is to reatain the puddle light and mating surfaces so its an easy to do swap, the tricky part will be the internals for the cam/lock system that allows the mirror to be turned back, I may ditch that function since Ive only ever done that once or twice,,,

 

 

ahh no way, those are sick. i cant take these projects, you need to get something together and start selling all these to us guys who cant stop modding our 8s

 

You're the man. You should make shells for nav screens. I have a navi, but before I got one, I would've liked to have one. Not moving ones, unless you can do that. But like regular ones.

 

Patience,,, I have to find the right people that can reproduce, then all of them are going to be reproduced...

 

I was thinking it would be sweet to have a GTR/Evo X type front where the grill extends all the way down. Photoshop it!

 

you guys wouldnt mind if I wasnt able to cram the motors in there would ya,,,
I was able to **** it sideways but the mobility was pretty limited,,,
Im not too worried about it for my set,,,

 

you mean like this ,,, Check out my Bumper build thread,,,
Im not going to go with the EVO look but it was considered,,, https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-exterior-appearance-body-kits-27/planning-my-own-bumper-design-build-winter-175707/

 

youre nuts bro ahaha. simply nuts

 

man props to you for tryin out stuff i think the mirrors are looking sexy already!

 

That's the exact same way I wanted my bumper to look. It would fit my intercooler perfectly when it comes in... Bah!

 

Those mirrors are coming well, its gonna be badass.

 

screw the mirror motors, i havnt adjusted mine since I basically bought the car

 

That second one is amazing. Looks like the car is angry... Someday when I have some money I'm going to get a guy to hack up a new bumper to look like that.

 

pics of the splitters with tie rods please your work is amazing!

 

Love the low profile mirror! I'm lazy and would want them to be motorized though.

 

hahah actually my basement grows bumpers, it has to be dark and in secret though, here we can see two bumpers growing ontop of each other,,, lol,,,





the splitter is bolted on but the splitters still arent, night do that today,,,





I also dremeled out probably another 100% or more surface area of the original mesh piece...

 

Ok, i love the splitter! How deep does it go under the undertray?
I might really ask you to build one if you want to!

 

im interested to see the final product with those mirrors! this stuff takes some *****!!

 

that lip looks sexy and the mirrors are so so cool

 

good work greig!

 

If you have a waterjet or CNC or lasercutter available bit enough I ll give you the solidworks file,,,


Just mounted the connector rods on the splitter...

the right side is alittle off but Im not worried about it,,,



















The orange area is the area that I dremeled out that was previously blocked,,,

 

its coming along great! youre making me want to start modding my car again!

 

i love that front lip

 

Dry fitting Shine Sides,,, fitment isnt perfect so Im going to be build mounting brackets for the flanges,,,
Also while I had them on I dry fitted on of my fender vents, it will be glass in when I get to it and the actually outlet is going to repositioned in parallel with the car instead of perpindicularly coming out the side it will now vent the front wheel wells,,,
