RX8 with 19" Avan's and Mazdaspeed Replica Kit
 
http://www.jadecrew.com/wp-content/g...8/IMG_9763.jpg

A few years back I helped my cousin get himself a nice RX8. As time went by I think he caught the modding bug from me and steadily would ask for advice on how to hook up the ride and this is where it got him.

My cousin Carlo is only 19 and has only been on us soil for 2 years so he is building the car on a budget, just like all of us in Jade started off doing (and still do to this day). A part here, a part there and eventually you get something like this mean looking RX8.

The overall plan on the car was to go for a clean but menacing look. Since the car was a nice dark silver to start we would accent it with dark wheels and carbon fiber accessories. Not wild or over the top, just a clean tuner car.

Yeah I am still trying to practice getting the motion shots with the camera.

This is the one from the camera, no Photoshop.

It is actually specific to the Conniosseur 151C. If you look close it says "Conniosseur" in the middle of it. Ill double check with my buddy at Mackin who imports Advan to make sure I am telling you the right info.

Confirmed that those are only for the 151C's.

jadey34vip 05-26-2010 02:36 PM

Here is a better close up of the cap.

Rotary geek 05-26-2010 03:23 PM

Very clean indeed. What % tint did you use on each window?

jadey34vip 05-26-2010 03:30 PM

If i remember correctly its the Pinacle F1 Ultimate Series Ceramic Tint. I think he went the darkest legal all around. I think its like 35% with them.

Sifu 05-26-2010 11:16 PM

Looks clean :)

lks817 06-01-2010 03:05 AM

One of the cleanest replica MS kit!

Never L8 06-14-2010 05:02 PM

That is a super clean ride! Amazing job!

rodjonathan 06-14-2010 08:21 PM

lookin really good bro

Mz 2007 08-07-2011 12:33 PM

Awesome work. One of the best looking 8's I've seen. Which eyelids do you have on the headlights? Looks like carbon fibre but the shape looks different to the Evo-R ones: http://www.evo-r.net/product/RX-8/CFS/CF_Eyelids.htm

Roidz 08-07-2011 12:48 PM

Quite the bump, but good lookin 8 op. Like the wheels.

Rebelman909 01-05-2012 02:03 AM

where did you get the kit??? and did you have to do a lot of work on it??

DSEA 01-05-2012 02:08 AM

Nice!

Harrigan 01-05-2012 09:05 PM

Looks great man! bit to much wheel gap for my liking but hey still looks amazing!

extremsprt86 01-12-2012 02:13 PM

Curious if you used a vinyl wrap on the tail lights or not? if so how many tries did it take to get it to conform to the wierd shape? any tips?
