Looks alright. I really don't like the chrome look on the Enkei's. And please do finish off the rest of the MS kit.

Would been fine if they were 18s.

+1 at least get the MS sideskirts. Looks like your car has a Jay Leno chin.

Wow that's a great transformation.
Everything look great very clean. Why did you remove the skirts

i'm confused - are these pics in order??

you went from autobanh kit, with skirts, to ms front w/ skirts, to ms front with oem skirts??

first of all, can't go wrong with either of these 2 kits imo, but def put skirts back on, even if it's autobahn skirts with ms front!

i prefer your oem's in black than the new wheels - or at least bump it up a size, too much sidewall.

overall looks good - i woulda kept the autobahn kit i think!!

well the car looked the best in the first picture, and pretty good in the second, but just got progressively worse from there. Now you have an rx8 with mismatching body kits and horrible looking wheels. Don't fix what ain't broke.

thanx for the input guys. My autobahn kit was garbage so I threw away the sides since they were messed up. I'll be getting the ms as soon as I can.

I think the sides will help a lot, and then some center caps Looks much better in person guys, the autobahn was a replica and never fit right.

The a bahn sides were torn and the idiot that painted them mis match the paint. The front had fitment issues around the sides which pissed me off as well.
Spoolin8- the headlights are just overlays from rotaryfx but the tails are vht nightshade.

It's not as bright at nighttime but that is to be expected. I also do not have stock HID bulbs. I have Phillips ultinons. I can see just fine though.

I appreciate the input. I just got tired of the black wheels on everything and I just couldn't pass up the deal I got on these.
