Nice meeting you over the weekend. You car is definitely low how did slope treat you lol. Wish I could drop mine a bit lower but may run into issues with turbo piping and the oil drain.IMO you should get some side skirts it would complete the look the factory aero breaks up the line of the front bumper. That's if you can lol

This slope? hahahaha
It was nice meeting you too.
I've been looking into sideskirts, problems is I would probably bust them on my curb at home. I might get some cheap polyurethane flexible ones, see how they hold out, then get some nice ones. Either way, it'll be next season. Because I want a set of works first.

Thats the one.
that's what i though with skirts. the center of the car can be a low point with no tire up. yeah look into poly or a good pfrp. My c west is pfrp and it has a lot of flex.
Ive been trying to get rid of my piaa wheels for another squared 18 or 19. like 10 or 10.5 wide. driving on the 360s scares me and i keep the lips painters taped other than shows and the garage.
what set of work wheels are you looking at? I keep looking at either wedsports SA55 or something super concave and thicker spokes. I have a design i want to try and pull off.

Spent all your money on the wheels and now you can't get a real lip haha. I know what lip that is, its the $80 one off ebay, poly-urethane. Had it for a while, it was fun to drag around on the ground. But def not worth ruining a bumper for. I just used 3M tape.
EDIT: Looking at this picture again I realized you're on bags

Oh god, here we go again.. Go park hard and make sure your car is shiny as hell.. I like cars driven hard, having fun on the track and not caring about wrecking something is fun to me, why would I buy a 200 $ front lip that I'll probably destroy anyway ? 3M tape is not solid enough for the driving I do, and the roads condition up here, it would've fall off leaving my driveway
Oh, and I love the drifting scene
PS: If you look carefully, you'll see a ziptie holding my bumper to the fender cause the tab broke driving ! I love the hate, guys, rx8 aren't ferraris ! They're cheap cars that sells for next to nothing

and since when do people track on bags?! Please don't tell me you love to drive the 8 hard.
You'll never be able to track on bags. Everyone has their preference and I respect that. But don't tell me to "hard park" when you're on airbags whose purpose is to park hard. At least if I wanted to track the rx8 I could snap on my OEM front bumper in all of 30 seconds and hit the curves.
