oops here

 

last one I promise

 

Here are the pics of my fenders that D&V Autobody painted. The picture quality is poor and my car is dirty.... Sorry about that.

 

One more...

 

Here is the badges that where also done too...

 

Last one...

 

ninedeep you didn't lower the 8 yet did you


the car looks awesome

 

I have a JIC suspension coming in very soon!!! The suspension will be released after SEMA and then a set will be shipped to us. ETA is mid Nov.

 

The silver really is a great contrast on the black. Especially with the strakes, it's a nice touch. The opposite is true for my titanium. The black vents are more noticeable against the gray, so I'm going to leave mine as is.


c170673: the vent covers are literally a snap to remove.
Just pop off a couple of the fasteners inside the wheel well. (use a philips to rotate the pin out, the just pull out the clip). pull the wheel well back a little (it's very flexible so don't worry about breaking it) reach in behind the fender and just pop the vent out. No sweat.

 

ninedeep - like the car badges. Cool.

 

Just one more thing 9deep...STRAKES! maybe? maybe not well I think they look awesome and draw attention to that area. I love the wheels too nice job.

 

Rice, why would you ruin your car with spray paint, you might as well paint your windshield wipers silver too.

 

I dunno, I think gold for the windshied wipers. ooohh, and gold on the badges too ... and something really classy to hang from the mirror. No fluffy dice on this baby!

 

hmmm... after spending quite a bit of time looking at those pics, have to say I don't like it... I like the black the way it is, or with a MS bodykit

Top marks for mods on a budget though

 

Anyone painted the VENTS on Winning Blue and have Pics? Please post if you do, Thanks

 

on a budget???????

this guy had spent like 10k on this rx8

ricey---your nuts

 

Lightemup: At what point did I use spray paint? D&V used the exact paint code as what is on the car. They had to call MNAO to get the color code. My vents and badges are Titanium w/ clearcoat. How does painting my vents give me a rice look?



Pepe: Budget???? What does that supposed mean?

 

ninedeep

these people are haters

your 8 is off the hook

 

Neither, use your imagination:

 

Thanks!

This is for everyone here that is trying to set themselves appart from the rest of the group with minor mods such as (painted vents) that are not ricey...keep it up! It looks good. All that matters in the end is wether or not you like what you have done to the car.

 

I hope no one does rainbow vents OMG thats ugly

 

Well, the original thread, before it was hijacked, was about painted vents on Greg's black 8... hence the budget comment, unless you mean it was a $10k can of spray paint

 

I can't paint my vents, already have the fender strakes installed! =(

 

I'm glad somebody said it.

Right up there with the red and black seats? (Which you are perfectly entitled to like, it's your choice, before anyone retaliates)

 

I honestly can't believe the radical turn this post took in a couple of days. I suppose you have to see it in person but my vents look great on my car and it compliments the color. Red leather has been done on many high end cars (ferrari, bmw to name 2) and it certainly is not bad looking. If you don't have something nice to say...
