Vertex and more!
just picked up the rx8 from the bodyshop this past weekend, added quite a few new mods =]


Name: Y34mmiK.jpg Views: 11 Size: 503 Bytes



heres a list of what was done at the bodyshop:

-Vertex Lang front bumper with sidemarkers shaved and vents painted matte black
-Vertex Lang eyelids
-Vertex Lang rear lip spoiler
-Bottom rear plastic painted gloss black + cut out fake mesh (still need to install real mesh down there)
-Complete debadging of trunk lid

after 8 years of owning the 8, i finally consider it completed! =]

special thanks to greg, the mastermind behind many of the mods on my 8 ;]

and of course, big thanks to Steve from Star Paint & Body in Oxnard and LuxuryMods for their fantastic service and for hooking it up with the parts!

Some black canards would really finish it off nicely.

Very well done sir.

thanks =] i think i like it without the canards better, i dont want to break the lines of the bumper because they are so cleannn and smooth already.

Your car is now my favorite 8. The R-Magic sides go really well with that Vertex front. Love it.
