thanks for the comment

Bumble_Bee

No, not at all..lol

I know everyone has different taste, therefore you're going to get all sorts of opinions. What I gave you, was my personal opinion. There are lots of ppl that dig my car.. there are also others in this forum that don't quite dig yellow with black.. But hey, it's gotten me.. Car of the Month, 1st Place Rotary Category (including FC and FD), and I've been "invited" to showcase my car in this years HIN.

So, don't listen to anyone but yourself.

If you like it, that's all that matters. In the end, you're the one driving it..not US.

But it's always good to get feedback.. that is why you posted it and asked what we thought, right? hee hee

^Yes i did want the feedback. I don't want the look of my car to be overkill. I want something that looks clean and sublte, not huge bodykits or anything. So I do appreciate the criticism as well because it brought me to this conclusion which I like better as well.

^ Good! :D

The big front center one is a little too much for my personal taste, but to each his own.

My first impression honestly was ............CLEAN THOSE FREAKING EXHUAST TIPS!!

Your dirty exhaust tips stand out like a sore thumb now that you have shiny new rear grills.

I'd also say get rid of the aftermarket exhaust tip add ons.......they scream "Aftermarket cheap add-on" and they are way too thin.

Otherwise......yeah, your car does look nice. I think silver is the only color that can really pull off using those silver grills.

^you have no idea what you're talking about. Thats the Agency Power exhaust. Not just aftermarket ricer tips. $700 for the full exhaust plus catless midpipe. They are Titanium and are supposed to look like that with the bluish purple. Also took out the middle grille if you cared to read the whole thread. Check this thread https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=146127

Ummmmmmmmm.....yes....thank you I did read the whole thread, I am aware he took the middle grill back out.

And like I said, the big front silver grill is a little much for my taste.

Just because I didn't say he did right by replacing it with the black, doesn't mean you should be jumping to assumptions, thank you.

And I don't know about you but if I spent $700 freaking dollars on some exhaust I would not photograph it looking grimey and almost rusty, particularly on the inside, I would have it clean and polished so that bluish/purple can be appreciated, and that the Titanium doesn't look like $6.99 alumininum from Auto Zone.

But that is just me.

Regardless, it doesn't take away from the fact that 05rex8 pulled it off, it looks nice.

I guess you showed me....anywho...I wasn't trying to get comments on the tips. In those particular pictures they happened to be *a little dirty*. After all having a full time job, wife, and kid doesn't exactly give me much time to go polishing my tips every chance I get. If you you heard the sound and saw that exhaust in person, I think the 700 bux is worth it, also since it CAME with the catless midpipe. There are a lot more expensive exhaust out there w/o a midpipe.

Don't want to argue, I'm not going to say anymore. No hard feelings. Thanks for the comments/suggestions.

^yeah, I gotta do that still. Maybe later today I can do that

Whoa......I replied not realizing you were the same one doing the grille work.

I didn't mean to be critical, I understand the time pressures, etc, I was just being honest that after all that time and effort you put into on the back end of your car, the first thing that caught my eye was the exhaust.

Other wise, like I said, good job, it looks great.

Meh...........get over it.
