I am going to be upgrading a lot of stuff on my car soon, so using Photoshop and the parts I am getting I threw together a prototype of how it will (hopefully) look after, just want opinions and curious, I found the door control panels in carbon fiber, and the shifter cover and door handles, but does anyone know where I can get other molded CF for the interior or is a Trim Kit sufficient and quality enough? Thanks. Also, should I leave the CF Trunk stock, or put the Mazda and RX8 Logo and words back onto it? Thanks again.

First pic MY car now:



And HOPEFULLY what it will look like after everything. The image below does not show the CF Trunk or Fuel Door or the Rims I will get:

 

yeah , hmm i dont know about the graphics on the side

 

I've always hated decals and needlessly giant spoilers. Perhaps I've seen too many Mexicans driving fluorescent green Neons and Civics with airplane wings..

If it's a genuine race car stripped, heavily modified and caged, ok. But if it's your daily driver then you'll just look retarded.

 

NO to that wing! unless its going on the track, and i would leave the carbon fiber trunk debadged, looks a lot cleaner.in fact i dont ever think ive seen a carbon fiber hood with the emblems put back on...

 

I like everything but the graphics (plz dont get them) and the CF fuel door idea. The big spoiler fits ok as long as the full kit is on, drop is aggressive and the wheel/tire setup run flush. Again, just say NO to graphics/stickers!

 

no to decals
no to wing
go with the MS wing and paint it black

rest looks good

 

oooook lol. thanks, check and check. Does anyone have any spoiler suggestions then? or just leave as is with no spoiler?

also the spoiler in the pic isnt the one I was looking at, the one I was sits lower than that. Here:

MS wing painted black :D

 

The photoshop screamed "Fast & Furious" to me.. sorry.. >.>

 

damn that movie.. /sigh lol

 

So, I'm not going with the decal, obviously, I think I'm going to nix a spoiler all together and just go with the CF Trunk alone. And I may look into a CF Lip kit instead of a Body Kit and just put some grill and CF accents in the stock fender and bumper.

 

I always liked the trunk-lip, and I'd probably have it if I didn't already have the beer-opener spoiler. I really, really like that spoiler.

 

Yea, I dunno.. The trunks going to be CF so not sure if the lip would even be noticable lol. Plus Ive always liked stuff a bit more than average. Actually I kind of like this one and it isn't quite as "showy" (is the lip under it necassary?):




ACtually now that I look.. I wonder how that spoiler in Red would look on a CF trunk

 

Just be aware that there may be fitment issues if you do decide to purchase that MS carbon replica.

 

def cant get a spoiler like that if youre an automatic . it screams rice. the sideskirts are ugly.

 

Are you looking only for cosmetic modifications or are you interested in anything performance wise?

Body kits, wings, wheels etc. are pretty big ticket items after you factor in paint and getting them fitted.

If you are looking for performance stuff I'd have a few suggestions for you.

 

Auto?... performance?...does not compute. LOL

 

not bad, but the graphics, wing, gotta go

 

The trunk aint even that heavy

 

Mainly for looks to be honest. Any suggestions are appreciated but I for certain am set on the CF hood and trunk :P



The first spoiler, the second one or both? LOL I kind of like the second one though now, in red or perhaps black like what was suggested above? on a CF hood

Actually now that I look at it I like the MS Body kit better too lol.

 

your cf hood you picked is nice. the mazdaspeed spoiler is nice but go with one from fluidmotor sports if youre going to get a fake one. i hear theirs fits nice.

 

kk thanks. But I still am wondering which would look better. Since my car is Velocity Red and the trunk will be CF, would the Spoiler look better in Velocity Red or perhaps even Black?

 

i think red spoiler on a carbon fiber trunk would look weird

 

make some more photoshops man

 

So then the Black?

Can do, but tomorrow, don't feel like booting into XP 64 ATM and CS3 doesn't install right on the Windows 7 Beta
