flat gray like its gray and its flat ???? like ill describe there is this stuff its called paint u put it on cars i liked gray but i wanted it flat so what u do is u by a special flattener that u add to the paint which is a one to one ratio and then you put it on your car understand now?

TopGear8 08-01-2010 09:46 PM

Yeah we understand..But its like primer and looks like crap, especially with stock wheels...

rxate8 08-01-2010 09:52 PM

yo understand sory im 17 and no twice as much about cars and doing work on them as you installed everything and rebuilt the in tire car my self and painted it to also if you new anything about primer its darker then that and your talking about stock rims they still look better then yours dude you find them in the dump or something or steal them from some Honda you saw on the side of the road ? and i have put twice as much time into my car as u have put into your rx8 and no that thing like the back of my hand so go pay some dude to fix your car bro!

the matte black will be beautiful i say go for it.

id just go with a different kit like the MS or something.

bumblebeerx8 08-01-2010 10:16 PM

i think matte colors look good on a agressive looking car only you can't put it on anything and have it look good

Not a fan of the color, but it takes guts for a car to come out of the closet. Props to you for supporting your car in its life choice!

rxate8 08-01-2010 11:51 PM

matte black is a pain in the ass, if youve ever seen a matte car in real life its jsut a disappointment, you have to use a claybar on your hands just to get all the oils off them so that you can touch it, if not you get fingerprints and smudges all over yuck. if you go vinyl and you get a chip you need to replace the whole panel, you cant touch it up. the list goes on and on.

EricB 01-07-2012 08:50 PM

MIND EXPLOSION: anyone ever put the kouki turn signals from the rx7's on a rx8??? SORRY IM OFF TOPIC!

EDIT: nevermind i photoshopped it and it looks horrendous.

I need to start going to the dump more often if that is where TopGear got his wheels, LOL!

Calm down dude, defensive much? Don't take internet forums too personally, or you'll end up worked up more often than not.

edit: *Looks at post dates* ...Fuck, I am stupid.

Not finished, no wing and no side skirts.


First time at the track, I thing my speed is quite good anyway?

Body kit finished, car working like a dream but im strugeling with the low power Renesis, i'm probably are going to do a 13b Rew Single turbo swap i near future. Hate to let cars passed ;)


3 years of cassiesetup seems to pay of in rain. =)


Need more power.

Would you mind to share what bumper this is?

Knock off R-Magic... after the first two.. you kinda don't give a crap anymore, and once you get to four it really doesn't matter.
