Vivid's Project RX8 !!

Just installed! AutoExe body kit, and Ganador mirrors. The mirrors were an easy install and come with nessasary hardware. The body kit took a bit longer. The factory apperance pkg pieces ( the side spats) I left on for now as I found that they leave 1/2" sized holes when you remove them and the AutoExe side skirts don't cover them up. I've got a plan for that though, and will be addressing it next week. Also, we just got in the first finished Production B&B catback and test pipe in today and I will be installing it tonight after work. I'll have a sound clip by Monday. Wait till you see the tips! In the meantime, enjoy the pics. Recap for the record:

-Volk LE37T 19x8.5, 19x9.5
-Falken FK-451 245/35/Z19 front, 285/34/Z19 rear
-JDM Clear corners
-JIC FLT-A2 Coilovers
-Painted JDM Ganador mirrors
-AutoExe body kit
-B&B Catback exhaust
-B&B Test pipe

--waiting to get my R Magic eyelines back from the painter
--coming soon K&N Intake
--coming soon Cusco Titanium front strut brace
--coming soon Cusco sway bar

Pretty heavy wheels for a car with no torque. "Comming" is only spelled with one "m", coming.

maybe they're using "com" as a verb?

I dunno, I don't really like the look of the rx8, and there's nothing out so far that I've seen that makes it look less like ***.

I have no particular beef with the way the RX-8 looks. It is admittedly underpowered, but it's still one of the best handling cars EVER, so it's not like the people buying them really give half a chit about their 1/4 times.....

I love the RX8 because it is great handling car, one of the best ever. I also like the way it looks and think you get alot for your money when buying one. I Have been driving Subarus for 4 years and will continue to for a while. There is no other car I rather own the my WRX right now.,
