Here's some of the first pics I've been able to get of my 8 after being cleaned and waxed - a few minor appearance mods are visible. Check out the side vents, front grill, and chrome rims/handles, also the mirror colors are iridescent gray instead of silver now. I think it makes them look more subtle.

 

that's a scary camera
the last pix reminds me of the grudge or the ring LOL j/k
great looking rx8

 

the backround and color of the last one is pretty scary
good pics though

Your 8 looks lowered
and I like how you made some unique mods yourself

 

Hehe, I touched up the background a bit in photoshop on that last one - wanted to give the pic a grungy/semi black and white look, so I tinted it slightly to a desaturated blue. I like the contrast between the dirty ancient looking buildings and the clean 8.

 

Nice chrome wheels and (ebay?) "Bling" door cove/handle covers...!
Haven't quite figured out what you've done to your front grill and wheel grills...

Care to share?

 

3 hours and some silver hobby paint :-) Painted all the diamond grillwork.

Oh and happy 4th of July!

 

looks nice man! Did you clear coat after you did the grills?

 

nah - I'm gonna redo all that when I do a custom paint job on the front end, so I didn't see the need to take the time. Plus, I didn't want it to be glossy, just high contrast with the black.

 

Cool... again looks great!

 

Nice pics, and I agree, that last one does look scary.

 

Regular film and pictures can be made very scary by the addition of a blue or green tinge. I bet half the horror movies wouldn't be scary at all if they weren't treated that way.

 

I love your pics. That's really cool.
...If the center of the pics is vertical, it is be better for me.

Thanks for your nice pics.

Yea nice pics...but let's just hope that when you take your next set, your silver will still be in one piece.

 

^indeed..beware the curse..it aims for 8's with posted pics first

 

Speaking of silver curse: I hit a deer last fall in a Silver mazda Protege - it seems even the deer can't see that color.

Anyways, I've always believed that curses don't fall on the same person twice. Plus, this car has already lived through one: its a recovered theft. I'm sure the previous owner felt the pains of the silver curse in the month between when his car was stolen and the insurance company paid him 3/4 of what it was worth.

 

Figured I'd update this thread with new pics after my custom paint job.

 

oh god, tell me you didn't

 

to be honest, I don't personally care for it but if you like it, then more power to you!
Did you do the job yourself? Any special meaning to the tribal style paint job?

 

Oh man! Your ride was sick before. I'm not digging the new tattoos on your ride man. But, if you like it then props.

 

I hope it can come off, your car looked great before.

 

Yes, I did it myself.

The designs have no particular meaning themselves.

I guess as long as I like them its all good :-)

Everyone who's see the car in person since the paintjob so far like it.

 

im going to have 2 agree....not a good tattoo

 

>.< same here...
