did you use vinyl to cover your tails im thinking about doing ti to mine. but i dont know if its hard to do because of the shape. if you did use vinyl where did you get it from, i dont want mine to be dark and yours are perfect.

wooO...i really like your taillight..its damn cool :)

yeah how did you do your tail lights, i use the tint stuff and it started to come up so i gotta redo mine... again.

Great looking ferrari, is that a 360 modena?

sorry guys ive been away from the club for a while....but yes its a 360 modena and no we didnt really aim to make it look like the challenge, just kind of came out that way butttt something got messed up in the engine and they are trying to fix it but as of now it is dead :( but my dad just got a red sl500 and he is going to sell his blue sl500 until he finds a different one. and as far as the taillights on my car go...its not vinyl. its spray tint. the kind you can get on ebay. works good but doesnt leave them with that fresh " i just spent 250$ to smoke my tailights out " look...its flat. not glossy. but i save about 230$ so ill take it...........but for whoever scrolls on through and reads this im in a predicament......my car has a nice collection of dents in it as pictured earlier....so somehow....i convinced my dad to fix it up. turns out my carbonfiber trunk and hood started turning yellow due to the hot florida sun. and the hood began to crack. soooo luckily our friend is a dealer and he is selling 2 rx8's for parts and we are buying the stock hood and trunk....now heres where im torn. i can custom paint my car as i please...im firm on getting it two tone grey/black. what i was thinking is from the front bumper nose follow the hood lining up to the roof and back down to the trunk. have all the black. and leave the rest of the car the grey. im not sure if this is the best idea and how i should go about following the lining. PLEASE let me know what you think. mean and rude or not. and if you have pictures or photoshopped pictures to back what your thoughts are or mine. please post them! thankss

heres close to what i was thinking. sorry bout the picture of the sub. i took it from another post. but this is what im thinking bout the two tone. comments?

Nice Ferari, why didnt you get one a lambo or ferari instead of the 8? :P

hahahaha i wish...but i had to pay for my own car so a lambo was just out of reach of my budget

******UPDATE****** car went into the shop on monday. im getting the dents fixed and painting it two-tone (see attached pic) except the blue will be the gray i already have....i get it back in about 3 weeks so ill take some pics once i get it back :)

great keep us updated :)

will do. and i dont really have the money to spend on lowering my car right now so thatll have to wait for a while.

So what are u driving rite now if your 8 is in the shop? WONDERING =]

my dads f150 :/ i was driving the sl500 but he sent it to the shop for something

i hate that in the usa you are legally required to have a front license plate. and they arent even the sleek euro plates.

thats why i just ordered myself one of those "sleek euro plates" and put it on my 8, looks WAY better than the US tags :naughty:

i'll be suprised if they try to fix that rear quarter. once you try to stretch and pull that metal back into its shape, its going to be weak as hell despite its natural abilities to go back where it needs to. if you push on it anywhere and it sounds like an oil can, dont settle for less than a new quarter being put on. a good bodyman can torch it back but still, you sacrifice structural integrity back there, especially to be able to take another direct hit. hope it gets the love it deserves!!

eh, its not as bad as the pictures make them seem. plus i popped them out quite a bit. the body shop said those shouldn't be much of a problem but the dents on my roof wont be perfect.

so i went to the shop and snapped some pics of my car. it comes out tomorrow. im getting a red pin stripe but they had to order it and im going to paint my calipers red. and re-paint my tailights. also going to paint the grill glossy black and possibly painting the black bumper piece and the front lip but thats undecided.

^^^ Looks good!!! Not my cup of tea but looks good never the less :)

Hey man, it looks great! For my two bits, I would put some black vinyls or something else CF/black on the sides of the car. Right now, with the hood, trunk and wheels, the sides look a little TOO grey. Maybe some tasteful racing decals in black, or black sideskirts, or something. Also, again, this is just my taste, but I would try a grey looking front/rear bumper insert where the black plastic is, or with the oil cooler guards, just to break up all the CF a bit.

Nice!

ive got koni in mine and it gives it an awesome stance and handles amazing.
definately do your suspension if its factory

Silver drip rails

I decided to remove the black coating on the roof rails.They are aluminum and polish well with scotch brite-then coat with 4 layers of non yellowing clear coat!
