Looks good... is it me or are the sides off a little bit? Maybe too far forward?

Yeah that is the first thing I noticed while looking at the side pic. It is too far forward and does not flow with the curve of the wheel well.

Now that I look at it again it does look a little off, maybe get more pics with more lighting

Paint your rotor hubs BLACK ASAP :)

I don't think different lighting would change it. The sides obiviously do not match up well with the fenders. and to me it looks like they are a bit darker than the rest of the car.

yeah there's something wrong with the sides, but everything else looks great! love the front lip and the hood's fitment looks perfect.

mscamp02 02-27-2009 08:14 PM

dont know why, it may have been the shop cuz I didnt have any problems with my shine burnout sides

ohmzx 02-28-2009 12:16 AM

Nice :)

briann 02-28-2009 12:20 AM

^+1
but looks good overall

thebiggdaddy 02-28-2009 03:28 PM

For some reason, I feel like the back just looks empty. I would get the INGs rear or something.

mscamp02 03-01-2009 07:40 PM

Dont bother getting a new rear end just paint the lower plastic portion and replace the fake mesh with real mesh, Ive seen a few rx8s on here who had that done at it looked pretty good. I'm tempted to get mine done whenever I paint my spoiler

marky702 03-01-2009 09:28 PM

ive thought about putting a carbon rear diffusor or something but it cost way to much for nothing. im not really a big spoiler fan either so i think im just gona leave the rear as it is for now till something more reasonable come along

mscamp02 03-02-2009 05:47 AM

hmmm the appearance package stuff you can get reasonably cheap, it would make your back bumper flow into your side skirts

Mikeluvs8 03-04-2009 09:30 PM

looks good mark.

Rotr8 03-04-2009 09:39 PM

Looks good Marky, get any new pics yet?,,,

marky702 03-05-2009 07:44 PM

thanx fellas! i havent had the chance to take any new pics but i will be putting on a new exhaust on my car sometime this weekend so after that i should have some new and better pics
