Nice pictures purerx7, is the FEED bumper from Shine? Fitment looks great, did you have to do any work on it?



I sold my DSLR recently, so now I'm using a $20 point and shoot

^ yup it's just a Bride thing, I personally think it looks cool to each their own I guess

I think Bride also ran a limited line of Maziora painted seats as well

Farkel, seats look loud.

I love it.

I just picked up a set of BRID Gias low max's (carbon/ Kevlar) Black/ gradiant.

I'll post pics as soon as I get some solid mounts.

yea no kidding, it seriously reminds me of that bridgestone commercial with the runflat tires

like right before you got hit, time slowed, someone took off your wheel, you got hit, and then they put it back on

lol, had a late nite, lol

I like it to, it's like a bride trademark. The maziora finish looks insane, I bet that would be expensive if you could find one.

Hey Gordon,

Thanks for the kind words, I am definitely going to be keeping these rims. I need to have them repaired though and I also think I am going to have the center spokes powder coated a gloss black and leave the Chrome lip.

I'll take some photos of my seats & install, and send them to you IF you take some pictures of your upgraded solenoids and send them to me

just kidding, I'll send them to you anyways.

But I'd really like to get some close up pictures of those solenoids...

I'll PM you Pricing & purchas information.

there is a guy here locally (Portland, Oregon) that has a matching set of those seats in his Rx-8.

They are GORGEOUS.

I really liked them, but my only gripe is there is no clear coat on them (I'd assume they would scratch very easily)

FARKEL: does your seats have a clear coat to protect that awesome paint?

If not, throw some 3M clear bra on it to protect it.
