As a BB owner myself I do appreciate all the hard work you've put into your 8. Well done!
I especially like your Smoked Tail Lights. How was it done?

switches are for LED's in the trunk, under the dash, under the car, in the back deck, Laser Jammers, and 2 extra....

Here is the under car kit....White looks sweet!!!

tjbourgoyne 06-23-2006 12:02 AM

Everything looks great. Love the smoked taillights. Are you competing in shows?

XDEEDUBBX 06-23-2006 12:04 AM

I don't think you have the most mods ever, but looks like you put in a lot of work on your I.C.E. and it shows. GJ.

NgoRX8 06-23-2006 12:06 AM

Well, I kinda did this because I was bored and had some free time. I might use it as a promo vehicle for one of my companies after I add the MS kit this weekend.

Cant wait for the MS Kit!!!

You have no idea the amount of wires I have in this car. I think I added about 20 pounds in cables. In addition there is a lot of Mods that I have not listed. The MS kit will be on it next week and that should finish it up...SWEET!!!

Check back tomorrow and I will post some shots of the tail lights but they are my favorite part of the car. They look so cool in person.

Everyone should do this!!!

NgoRX8 06-23-2006 12:44 AM

thanks dude. yes i was seriously considering smoking them (not blackout). and you're the 1st i've seen to do that.

BEST PART..... It only ran me about $50 bucks!!!

presequel 06-23-2006 12:47 AM

$50? damn thats a good deal.

NgoRX8 06-23-2006 12:55 AM

haha, where'd you get the vinyl? i have to decide if i want it vinyl or custom with spray tint.

MSTYLES 06-23-2006 12:55 AM

[QUOTE=NgoRX8]haha, where'd you get the vinyl? i have to decide if i want it vinyl or custom with spray tint.[/QUOTE

LOL... Its just clear coat with a little black paint mixed in......just spray it on(make sure you pull them from the car first. I would not smoke them any other way and the ones I have seen on ebay are a rip off

NgoRX8 06-23-2006 12:59 AM

ahh ic. process? materials?

Keef 06-23-2006 01:24 AM

wow, that looks like an amazing beauty inside and out... Mod's I've never even seen before... Good job man, that 8 looks sick!

jleanse23 06-23-2006 01:28 AM

Beautiful car, the speaker setup and the plexi are very clean. I really like the tails!

cjkim 06-23-2006 01:32 AM

^ What's that and how? I wanna know more

Very nice.

MSTYLES 06-23-2006 08:50 AM

Took out the factory NAV and replaced it with the new Alpine pulse touch screen with the vehicle hub. Then there was no use for the factory radio so i relocated it and added some additional LED gauges to the dash. I finished it with some molded plexiglass that I smoked the same as the tail lights.

It is pretty simple. I will start a thread over the weekend :D:

Tamas 06-23-2006 12:56 PM

Very nice... you gotta be extra careful with that plexi though, because it'll get scuffed and scratched very easily.

Do I see a crack at the upper left screw?

Excellent work... not too many people did so many things to their 8, maybe except devoid.

It looks like that sub / amp setup in the trunk is hella heavy... on the first pic, it appears that the rear of the car is sitting lower than the front :p:

I did crack the plexi on the last screw...figures...but we are in a process of making a new one now.

We were able to cut down on the scratches by adding a layer of clear coat to the front face. Regular plexi scratches way too easy

Whitey 06-23-2006 03:24 PM

I must say, it does look VERY nice. Your attention to detail shows. I'm with the other guys on the debadging though.....especially with the money you've got to throw at this car. It'll look GREAT with the MS kit. Good job :yumyum:

Argento Otto 06-23-2006 03:55 PM

Aweseome job. Nice attention to detail. Especially the interior panel. Can you explain what each gauge is for?

california style 06-23-2006 07:48 PM

wow....amazing!

1st Black RX8 i have liked...

Keep it up!

Guino 06-23-2006 10:15 PM

really awesome.. wish I had your fabrication skills :p

SSJ 909 06-23-2006 11:11 PM

That smoked fiber glass thing on your dash is completely dope dude!

The 2 lower ones are for my amp temps. The top right is an Air/Fuel mix level. The top left is for the volts and the large center is a speedometer so the passenger can actually see how fast you are going. All this really does is enable the person next to you to bitch about how fast you are going. The cool thing is that it has readings for:

0 to 60
1/4 mile times
0 to 100
lap/split times

mike1324a 06-29-2006 05:55 PM

Thats the hottest dash mod ive ever seen! Id love to see that with all the Guages needed for FI underneath. Where are you located in GA?

9000rx8 06-29-2006 07:09 PM

are those strobe lights in ur bumper? u didnt list anything about them

Mikelikes2drive 06-29-2006 08:12 PM
