wow thanks guys...

Yer they are Rx8 rims powder coated...
What you see here in the picture just doesn't do it justice!

The paint needs a cut and polish so it will come out darker..

Here is some more photo's, i don't have many more with the rims the way they are as i only put them on yesterday and the car doesn't move just yet...







The setup isn't complete just yet, but should be sometime VERY SOON i hope.






Here also 2 vids of it, when it had the hi-flow setup and RX8 rims standard colour.

nice and clean, I agree with the Syncro on the stock spoiler, I'd go for the sport spoiler, also called the buck bill spoiler around here. But besides that it looks great!!

More pics, especially from the front and under the hood.

EDIT: you beat me to my request for more pics. is that the special mazda bumper or an aftermarket lower half bumper?

Funny how those rims look better on your car (I'd dig them if they were a tad smaller diameter) than on an RX-8

I like the "no spoiler" and body color hatch combo...very clean.

Why was it necessary to add license plate lighting?

I like the way the RX8 wheels look but they are way to slim in the rear.

That car is absolutely sexy. I love the RX8 rims (especially black), although they are kind of narrow. I would say it needs an S5 spoiler. BTW, love the turn-down exhaust too. Makes the rev limiter flames look badass. Interested to know, which front bumper is that and what's up with the harsh negative camber in the rear?

Thanks again.. haha

The front bar im acutally insure of, does anyone know? i think its a mazda item, quite possible a mazdaspeed one? can any one comfirm?

Also on the rear bumper they are the lights for the number plate, this one is a 1986 Series 4 with Series 5 tail lights...

The reason why its got such bad *** camber in the rear because it had a set of Mazdaspeed coils put in, which had sat it on the ground, along with the camber... Now having doing that putting standard springs in the rear didn't much a differance... so ill need to buy new set of coil ovas and a camber kit i think...

The Rx8 rims are a 8" rim, they do sit too far in the guards and i need to buy another set of 8mm spacers for it to fill out the guards along with 245 or 255's...

I am pretty happy with the way it looks at the moment, and sorry guys i hate rear wings... :P

JDM look all the way
