Shakeyourbrakes unveiling- Autobahn WWP (w/ Pics)

I finally got back in the states, and re dressed my 8.. Enjoy

Within the next week or two im going to be posting up a lot of extra parts, so keep an eye out. One of the parts is a Chaser fiberglass vented hood just to give people a heads up

The Reverse/Backup light is a resin triangle filled with bright leds fitted in the spot under the licence plate. Ill get some pics of it in action one of these nights

Car is looking very nice. Only thing I'm not a fan of is the all red tail lights, I think it would look much better leaving them stock.

Shine ...not sure where you see the issues, maybe above the clear corners where it sticks out a little bit?

Wow man good job on the '8! Looks pretty damn good! I say your next performance mod is a 4.77 Final gear and you are set.

Digging the lights too, I like the red Tint.

extremely random but whatever

Car looks great man except for what looks like to be some fitment issues connecting the hood to the front bumper... sagging on the left?

I Love that twin-tipped exhaust though!

hah, thanks for the comments guys

..I can take on the emblems, at least it leaves people guessing what kind of car it is. Basically I see them as a tribute to one of the best rotary cars from the past, thats all..efini to me is just a symbol saying, this is a rotary. But im not a rx7 owner either so....

The hood and the bumper dont seem to line up. Thats what i think the guy meant by fitment being off.

Looks much better than you replica MS bodykit. I think it would look even better without the emblems on the front and the back. I think the emblems look ugly.

Yeah I know what they are now,, but a while back Shakeyourbrakes was the first to experiment with baking the headlights open, they used to be painted all white when he had his MS kit on,,, I was wondering if he got rid of them or painted over them again,,,
