RX8 with 19" Avan's and Mazdaspeed Replica Kit
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.

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.

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
