NO eric. I think the commondore side thing is very nice. May I suggest silver mesh on the fender vent though.
is there a pic of the rear. I love to see how you paint the where the rear accent is.

They're not SS strakes.
They're straight off Aston Martin's DB9.
Ezz, Don't mention it![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
They deserve to know the truth.
One less unhappy DB9 owner out there,
gazillion more happy RX8 admirers though!

i decided to block out the indicator thingy on the streak, so it wont look too busy with the factory rx-8 ones, plus i dont have to run extra wirings to it

the best looking after-market rims I've seen on an 8 (imho)
the paint is really striking especially in the sun, is it HOC or ALSA or something simular?

I agree with mikeyr, the vents give the car a different personality and I like it how it does look different to other 8's.
They'll always be negative comments, and envious ones :p Looks hot and sexc!
Ta, Kall.

All I can do is add to the general chorus of appreciation.
Fantastic to see a genuinely individual yet still classy looking car.
More power to you (literally :D ).

I was asking about the paint for the emblems. Was there a special type of paint to make it stay or any type of paint will work for the emblems. I know that the emblems need to be sanded before you paint them. The reason I ask about the paint I might want to do other colors, and just wanted to get your experience on painting them.

1. sand the badges with fine grit sand paper/scortch bright
2. clean it with prepsol (aka. grease/wax remover)
3. plastic primer (about 3 layers)
4. spray whatever colour you like, one layer at a time until it has enough coverage
5. clear coat (a couple of layers)
6. put it back on
hope it helps
