Custom painted my 2004 rx-8

Hey guys! I just want to start off with saying thank you. i been coming to this forum for the past year to get help with my rx-8 and recently i hit a deer and messed up the front of my car, so i took the challenge to begin painting the whole car and making it to fit my desire. In order to fix the front bumper i bought a new one form amazon. i went with the m1 speed bumper, and let me just say that is the worst bumper i have ever gotten in my life! I spent three days cutting it and reshaping the bumper because the mold was horrendous and the company would not refund my money. I painted the car it very unique and a lot of you die hards will hate it and call it ricy but I like it so far I hope to have the painting done by the end of the week

This is not the DIY subforum, you would need to start a thread there.

On second thought, don't do a DIY. That looks horrendous.

The tires are bald and being replaced and the rims are coming off so I didn't bother with it, but I made the car look the way I wanted it to

Still got to put it back together and take the wheels off, but I made it a step further. I also put a turboxs exhaust on it with the blue tips and I love the sound it gives the car

This car has become too cheap to obtain third party.
