especially if you are not on a track or on your way home from one....

 

Pretty sure he did it for looks since he has it on the other side as well.

 

Dan said his car is beat up. I'm pretty sure the zipties are not for "looks"...

 

Nice!!! Can't wait to see more pics.

I must say though, gotta loose the Illest sticker though

 

Some people do it for looks .. and considering he put it in his siggy i was assuming its for cosmetics .....

 

Well guys this is about as good as my photography skills get, I plan on getting a decent photoshoot done soon.

Wheels are 18x9.5 +15 battles with 235/40s on them.

I still need to get the alignment done but other than that hope you guys like it.

 

^looks good

the back looks a bit sunk tho..might just be the angle

 

Yea the back is actually more flush than the front, I have some major camber back there right now though. Im gonna bring it a little more positive friday when I go to get that done.

 

Look forward to seeing more pics!

 

haha, the zip ties are definitely not for cosmetic purposes. the front end was smashed, got into an accident earlier this year. the bumper broke into three pieces. rather not drop a **** ton on another front bumper at this point. the passenger fender, hood, radiator support, headlight, etc. was all destroyed. i've pieced everything back myself using junk yard parts and some new parts. believe me, i wish my car was as clean as it was back in the day. but things haven't been so good for my RX8. the car has been through so much crap, i've basically just given up on body aesthetics. illest, fatlace, stance works, canibeat, etc...i will sticker the crap outta my car because i just don't care. they're pretty good for mending cracks and covering up dings/scratches too.

 

Lookin good guys!

 

i basically figured that dan, i just went through something simmilar with my car recently

 

another shot of my fitment and my new ride. all i need is 40 mm spacers on that one. lol.

 

hahah!! that's how i used to do my zip ties too!! welcome to the club (: i eventually just took the whole undertray out

 

We're getting more and more fitted 8's by the day it seems, keep it up guys!

Dan, I'm just giving you ****. Those meisters are dope, great choice!

 

Wow, very nice! Like those rims alot..

 

Thanks guys, now im debating wether or not to get my spoiler removed or not, I like the looks both ways.

 

Remove it! Seriously... just take it off and see how it looks (4 screws iirc).

 

^ plus you'd need caps to cover the holes so you don't fill your trunk with rain water

 

I just took it off, I love the look it gives the rear of the car, much lower and wider looking. Im gonna try and find someone around here to trade with.

 

Rx8in STL : Looks cleann !!! Cant wait for more pics.

 

Agreed but need to be on coilovers with aggressive wheels, otherwise I like the spoiler better

 

The holes actually funnel through the water seal so nothing gets in the trunk.

 

Here's a little preview, if anyone cares. I will have more pictures after this coming Saturday I'm sure, with side markers I'm not happy with the color match of the bumper to my paint TBH but in my rush I did not leave them a sample so it's all good. Everything is bolted rather than 3m'd so I can easily remove for those aggressive drives

I want an iphone 4 purely for the HD camera, haha.
