Sex bro, some day I will have a set. I liked them in black but damn they look good in that color. I regret selling my Volk GT-F's and not getting them rebuilt.

Danny, dude, I really love your car and the approach you're taking. It's sick, and you seem to be set on building a one of a kind neck-breaker, never to be forgotten... but re-read your posts. Just from the last few pages you say little positive about others' cars and tend to respond in a pompous manner. This post may be pointless and I hope you don't take it the wrong way, but come on - truly respect others' taste and acknowledge others' work. Car modifying isn't a competition (shows aside, lol) so yeah, other cars may be lower, may be higher; may be prettier, may be beat; main thing to remember is we're all rx8 owners (or have been, lol) and enjoy modifying the same car in an endless variety of styles.

Phew, [/rant]. Keep up the good work with your car!!

Konig - Dude, nice!!!

And yes, I just quoted a bunch of photos. Sorry I have no cool new content for this thread :[

Old pic but I don't think I posted it here.



And the new jalopy. Dying some front lipe & coilover options to become available. Still figuring out the wheel situation too.

Yea a ferrari 348 gts would look rad on model 5's for sure. Only if all 4 are mounted tho. So proper dawg.
