Newcastle: let me know when you have some free time and we'll get some better pictures of your car out in the daylight.
I know you don't have much free time these days but my offer stands.

Gawd, that vertex front just looks so right on our cars...

I went with Newcastle to drop off his RX-8 and for those who aren't familiar with Auto Explosions work, one step into their lobby and you'll know these guys are for REAL. (room FULL of enormous trophies, mazagine stories, pictures, etc)
The cars they were working on when we were there that day were pure eye candy. full race prepped M3, Supra, and a G37 were just a few of the cars we saw.

This is also the shop who did the custom Laguna Seca Blue paint job on xdeedubbx's Miata and have worked on a few other RX-8's in this community.
