its very similar to the first colour we did for 8A8Y 8, we all liked it until it got under the su, so we brought it in and rubbed back and re-applied it again with blue pearl...
noticed the tinted headlights?
the GT wing is for those extra downforce required ;-)
i know where you can get that bonnet from, got one for 8A8Y 8.... the fibreglass version is bloody heavy....

Looking good. Any open bonnet shots?
What I dont get is, wouldnt you want the bonnet vent facing the other way to force air into the engine bay? or is the idea to use the air running over the vents to extract air out? Or have I missed it completely and it has no usefull purpose other than show factor?

The headlights are smoked
the car in real life looks 100% better than my pics can do it justice .
I am not a big fan of cheap looking spoilers but Daves carbon fibre spoiler is a class act .(now my kids want me to get one )
We parked it near the beach within minutes we had crowds all around it , nobody even noticed my Yellow RX8 .
Daves car is how i like my Women Different, Classy with Great Performance and Attitude

lower engine bay temp.
the reason why the wrx bonnet vent goes the other way is because it has top mount IC...
