Too bad you lost the line that carried from the top of the front doors over the rear doors. Good luck with your build!

Wow i think the front looks amazing! The rear is eh... Kinda like a chick with huge boobs and no booty to back it up.
|
Looks really good. I like seeing someone attempt a custom kit. Make sure to post pics of the final product!
|
Looking good though, keep it going :icon_tup:
|
I can't wait to see the results :)
|
I like it even though it erases some of the rx8's original styling lines.
looks like a bigger elise/exinge. |
Dude --you are good. I think some people dont relaize what it takes to do this type of work/design etc?
Yes some rough edges like the door frame, but dang dude---serious wrench time here. Questions---how do you support those front fenders, and what about up under the car--whats the plans there? Have you had experience with wind tunnel studies? Seems to me you have? What did you do about the windshield wipers? A single wipe would sure look sweet on that design. You and Rote need to get together. Yall some talented dudes. Hey, I LIKE silver!! OD |

OD Fenders and the nose is one piece and attach to the same locations as stock, ( on the frame rails, and under the car). The body parts are completely flat under car to the existing body, so no air restrictions. Wipers will stay stock for now, but may look into that later. Now that you mentioned it my Lambo has the single wiper too. I have ordered my 3 rotor engine and hope to start install June this year. I plan on doing some car shows prier to removing exsting engine. Looking to do a 400hp to 500hp set up. |

As far as the wheels go I was lookling for that look, and they are not Rota (XXR 522 used on many race tuners) If you are concerned with weight im sure the 6lbs you lost with your wheels wont compensate for the 50+ I lost with fiberglass body. Maybe on the next one I build I will go with deep dish rim.
Thanks. |

That a crazy systems in that car did you do the fiberglass work. (looks good). Is that a standered box in the back or a band pass? |
It is going to take 2-3 people to remove the front because it is 1 piece. Hopefully you do not have to remove it often because it would suck if it cracked.
|
I think it would suck is any part of it cracked.
Props on the work. One of the better looking custom wide body designs, aside from the GRAND-AM style which is by far the best out there. Add some nice flush wheels and paint and you may have a killer 8. |
Have not seen the grand-am style do you have pic. It dose take 2 to remove, but you should not have to remove it often. I cant remember the last time I removed my bumper of frenders on my other cars.

;) It looks stock, just slightly wider. |
Looks very interesting! I want to see the finished product :)
|
Your 8 looks awesome. Please post finished photos here!
|
Looks good.
I know nothing about body work but it looks like it required a good amount of skill to get it where it is. |
