So yeah my car got hit back in januaryish??? it was a nice day and the roads were clear (as clear as they get in New York anyway) and this guy hit me on the side.

 

Now here are the pics of the body kit + fixed side installed

 

Looks good man; I hope insurance took care of you?

 

More pics

 

yeah insurance took care of me pretty good, i had a $500 deductible and the other guy paid $250 of it, so it was $250 out of pocket for me to cover just the side damage, and i paid like $700 out of pocket for the body kit paint + install, in the end i paid a fair price

 

The guy in these pics is NOT me, its my cousin who is an idiot, lol im just posting all these pictures so people know how the tsunami kit fits the rx-8, its near perfect imo but i know how some people like to see every little line.

 

Some night pictures we took, my favorite pic is in here from the front view, it looks pretty awesome if i do say so myself lol but yeah i was thinking of taking my car to some shows once the summer starts, what do you think my chances are of taking home some trophies or something?? I'm not really sure how car shows work and what not but i figured it would be fun

 

If ya drop it some i think that kit would look alot better. Better change at taking some trophies home to Good looking car

 

Noice man!
I will agree with Primus about the drop. Granted I do know that NY has some crappy roads.

I would measeure the distance from the bottom of the frnt bumpers chin to the ground and then factor in the amount of drop the sprins give you, if you go this way.
A nice clean look helps win awards.

 

tsunamiiiii. hotnesssss

 

nice pics

 

looks good man

 

Looks Good. Props.

 

tsunami ftw!

 

looks good.

 

nice, but is it just me or is the color slightly off?

 

^noticed it too....didn't want to nitpick tho...lol.

that color is once of the hardest colors to match. tri-stage paint.

would have to blend into the fenders to make it right.

 

u guys must have a good eye

or im blind

or it looks good to me.

 

you cant tell in the night shots, but in this shot, you could probably tell

the car is a bit darker/orange-ish

 

Nice kit. Just needs a drop like others have mentioned and you will be all set

 

Sorry, that is incorrect. Lightning Yellow is not a "mica". Only the mica colors are tri-stage. Trust me, I paint cars.

In terms of the rear aluminum door, did they repair or replace it?

 

Altspace is right. CYM is a be itch of a color to match right. might as well paint the whole car.

 

sorry I paint cars too for a living. in my paint system it IS a tri stage....base, mid coat, clear.
