Yea you hated on it in the sticker thread. I've since removed many of those stickers as they were just for a drift event I participated in.

Those wheels are worth more than the whole car and they are ugly.

Did you see the exhaust from the build thread? Looks ridiculous.

The aero that's going back on for Wekfest is close to what I already had, at least the front bumper is the same. The dent happened when driving on the freeway changing lanes, and a wrench or something happened to be in the road. As I was changing lanes and there were other cars in the area, swerving wasn't really an option. I just thank god it didn't end up worse. Will be getting repaired with the full respray later this year.

DLum was running the Ings rep front, FEED rep sides, and Ings rep rear. Not sure why he has it off though.

Funny Derek has a dent on the driver's side too, though it looks like his may have come from something slightly different - not sure.

Haha, I hope his car is worth more than $3000-4000.

Cool photo, I definitely don't hate on bags. Just a different flavor than I personally prefer, nothing wrong with that.

IDK man I dont like this car. The color combo I'm not feeling. I don't think a deep PINK colored car is cool. Especially with bright yellow rims, and a huge ugly wing. Blacked out tail lights are so 2011. fitment and stance are cool, but the car in general is a FAIL!

I don't know if I would consider a single turbo REW swapped Rx8 FAIL necessarily, though I can understand not digging lum yellow on pink haha.

Here's the build thread for anyone curious -> http://www.driftworks.com/forum/drif...drift-rx8.html

I thought it was cool when I saw the first pick and thought it was VR. Pink is a no go for me.

imo, the pink isn't bad...but going with the yellow wheels n' tinted tails kinda killed it all together.

I dunno, pink has just been done to death on drift cars.

...touche

considering how many crazy and abstract color combos people have come up with to design drift cars it's no wonder why it's tough to be unique.

i still think if he went with a different wheel color n' didn't tint his tails it would look better.

Those wheels have gotta be worth more than $4000. I just priced out a set of BMW X5 wheels for a customer and they were just over $5000. And they were just 19's. Granted that was cost of brand new...

I don't hate on bags, they are cool, I just hate the Bentley wheels on other cars, it's been done.

You probably could get them for 3-4k, tilt would know, but my bosses CL65 AMG rims were just over $3,000.00 each (paid for by an unhappy body shop owner) from the dealer.

hehe that's me xD i demolished my rear driver side shroud and bumper area coming out of a disgusting driveway a few weeks back x.x and the front bumper is too embarrassing to run daily. fitment is too too off and the sides will get crushed (i think) every time i come out of the driveway at my house ): well those are my lame excuses lolz :D

hopefully i can get the IN with this good body shop in my area soon so they can fix all my grossness hahah. and the next big thing will be wheels :D though i don't plan on starting on them until the summer, but i'm hoping they'll be sickkk

Tilt- I'm curious to see you go with the burgundy color. I went with a different color as well.

Dlum- sounds like a plan, new kit, new wheels.
