Hopefully that should give you guys an idea of what it looks like so lemme know what you guys think... bc im confused and don't want to spend money and regret it..

silver eyelids, forget about the strakes and save that money for some rims

Alexb 09-06-2009 02:44 PM

I think you should get silver eyelids... I personally think it looks odd to have different color eyelids. But maybe black strakes? match your tail-lights and give some contrast.

km1346 09-06-2009 02:46 PM

Sweet, thanks. Anyone know any place cheaper for Silver Eyelids rather then evo r?

rodjonathan 09-06-2009 02:48 PM

i say forget both of em and get a drop first then some rims just my .02

RyansRx8 09-06-2009 02:51 PM

Wheels forsure, those just kill the whole look

km1346 09-06-2009 02:51 PM

Im getting a drop soon. I really want a Greddy sp2 first.

km1346 09-06-2009 02:52 PM

I was thinking Black Rims W/ Red Lip 18' how would that look?

mrslysly 09-06-2009 03:11 PM

Silver eyelids, NO STRAKES! And pull the MazdaSpeed decal off the Bpillar. Its totally out of place and pulls attention to just it instead of flowing with the car. That red stands out like a sore thumb.

Dozer, you dont have a REd LIP you have a RED PIN STRIPE...ROTA TIME ATTACKs.... If you have an entire red lip, its not TIME ATTACK anymore...Time Attacks dont have lips...:D:

km1346 09-06-2009 03:23 PM

I put the red on there so it would stick out..
i will get silver eyelids and yeah
DOZER i wanted rims like yours.

ZumnRx8 09-06-2009 03:24 PM

to the OP, stick with silver wheels, or gunmetal, or silver w/polished lip.... dont do black unless they are RPF1's

Dangerous taillights are dangerous.

The red definitely sticks out. To me it sticks out too much and most of the viewers attention is drawn to that and ONLY that instead of the total effect of everything you've done to the car. Overall the car looks really sharp, but personally that sticker right there seems cheesy when you look at everything else with the car. The Rx8 doesn't need help standing out or drawing attention.

If you have a red lip rim, that might change it as you have more contrast on other parts of the car, so the overall idea flows better. So then the red MS sticker would match better.

Save your money for some rims and springs.

sharkpah 09-06-2009 06:01 PM

km1346 09-06-2009 06:52 PM

=p

Juansito 09-06-2009 07:37 PM

Pickup some used MT RX8 rims dude.

Those 16/17s isnt doing the car no justice!!!

Spinning Sushi 09-06-2009 07:39 PM

I say, forget the strakes and eyelids, sell the car and buy a 6MT.

Wig92 09-07-2009 02:01 PM

if you arent a hater of strakes, go w/ some black ones. definately some black enkeis, take that MS pillar decal OFF, and then black out the emblems.:) a little 1.2 lowering would look sick too.

This.


LOL just kidding. If I were you, I wouldn't get the black/red wheels. I think its just too much. Black wheels with a chrome lip look good on that color, but IMO 3 colors on a car is too much. I would get gunmetal probably, but black looks great too.

You gotta own an RX8 before you say that, Camryboy! ;)

I hate eyelids, it makes the RX8 look lazy. Strakes are nice though. But before you do anything, drop it.
