Looks nice. Are you missing your front number plate? How do you get away with that.

That was one of the best things about emigrating to Florida, no front number plate.

We sacrifice no license plate for bad drivers.

But yeah looks pretty good, spacers would make it look tons better.

Its photoshopped out! colors are enhanced using Adobe lightroom too. having the front plate is a bane and i hate the look of all the aftermarket relocation's so photoshopping it out is my only option for photos.

I can asure you we have some pretty terrible drivers too, although the majority of them can drive manual

Spacers should be here tomorrow!

Man it's too bad we don't see more authentic BBS LM's on RX-8's. They are on my short list.

i wish i could afford legit BBS LMs but their expensive. I presume these are Varrstoens? looks good, why didnt you go with a lower offset rather than getting spacers?

There really isnt alot of options over here in the uk. for a set of varrstoens id be paying around £1000 ($1617) which is an obscene amount of money for reps. the price of car parts in the U.S is considerably less if it werent for paying customs taxes itd be worth getting them shipped over. these were the only set i could find in 9j and they cost me £500 ($800). the quality could be better tbh but being a student its all my budget would allow for.
