My fitment looking okay?

I'm trying to wrap up my rx8 project before I drive it into the garage for storage. What do you guys think of my fitment and should I do anything else?

Looks are subjective. But the fitment is okay. The stickers, halos, front lip damage, and red stock calipers gotta go IMO.

As 9k said, looks are subjective. I dont really like the rims too much. What are the specs?
As for what else you should do? I dont know, what is done?

So is not having a cat not seeing your point, besides the fact that they are an eye soar.

Cops could see the illegal lights, not under the car...

Red and blue lights are illegal because those color lights are for peace officers, not sure of the exact terminology but a friend received a fix it ticket for blue lights. Probably differs by state/municipality though.

^^ yes.

You must be running a massive spacer to be that flush with a 17x7+40.

Illest.... argh... get rid of those. Fitment looks good, i am surprised they are 17x7 +40, what spacers are you running? Honestly for me, i do like sidewall and i don't mind the fitment at all, low pro's look good but ride quality sucks with low pro's and i'm just not too fond of those. But i do like the set up, not the type of wheels but nice set up.

Well considering the fact its the stock body (Front and Rear Bumper), id say the fitment should be perfect?

Unless your talking about your wheels, then wrong part of the forums.

I liked your stockers with spacers way more. The new rims make the car look even more busy with all those stickers.
