Fresh off of the assembly line....my RX8!

Mods so far include Red body paint, painted vents, mirrors, lights, and brake calipers. Painted the DUB's regular silver to match the factory wheels on the RX8. Custom spoiler and exhaust. Performance mods still to come.

BTW, The paint is not as rough as it looks. Something about the way the pic came out when resizing.

First pic...

Looks great, but i like the stock spoiler better. It just gives it that look to it.

I can always paint up a spare stock spoiler and slap it on. I ws trying to make it look like the car from the factory as much as possible, but wanted some kind of spoiler without getting too carried away.

great job Ahh5hit!

the spoiler is cool too - I like it.

I think the new spoiler looks so much better, and those rims are the iceing.

I just recently grabbed a 350Z, but after I got home, I kinda wished I grabbed the RX8 'cause of the chrome controller, since I already have a few of the others, but now seeing the body painted up, I really wished I grabbed that. Damn.

Thanks pimps! crazydave: You can now get the chrome body for $4.99 at RS. I picked a couple up just for modding. You just have to sand the chrome really good before painting over top of it.

I found that out today the hard way. I went into rs to buy another camaro/dodge body kit and when I saw the $4.97 on the chrome rx8 I wasn't about to pass it up.

Your car looks awesome by the way ahh5hit. A candy coat would be even better though.

Thanks sessiz! What's candy coat, a better clear coat?

iIt is sorta a tinted clear coat. Like you could get a red one, and have a red chrome body.
