no no let them go. Its comical. The car has like 2 zip ties on. If they didnt take a picture of it nobody would have even noticed.

But its a "trend" they say.......they..say.

It's a nice ride, I'm not bagging on it, I really like it. It just needs some work. Heck who knows when those pics were taken, it might be all fixed up now.

Disposable cameras take much better pictures than that. That's a digital camera from the early 2000s

zip tie stitches on a bumper are retarded, I don't give a **** how authentic your busted *** bumper is.
also @ the 'illest' sticker.

and yes, I realize it's Dan's car, doesn't change my opinion.

now back to hella stretched tires and goofy camber setttings...

I am CONSIDERING wheel spacers for the rear, not too large... just something to increase the rear offset slightly. The rear wheels appear to sit slightly too far in for me, maybe. I have original rims & M super sport tires at the original size...

Could anyone who has installed rear spacers on their RX-8 comment on them? Fender clearances aside, did you notice the car sat or handled any differently?
