Another Vertex Shinka

Another Vertex Shinka
After being on this forum for several years now, not too many body kits really appealed to me... Getting a full kit wasn't my intention when I first got the car. I loved the body lines of the RX-8 already as it is, but overtime I started getting bored of it.
The first kit I considered a couple of years back was a Burnout Type II/Shine Auto Project Type II kit. I loved how it looked, it definitely made the car a lot less curvy/feminine IMO without going too overboard in styling. I told myself that I was settled on the look afterwards and kept it for a couple of years that way, boy was I wrong. Deep down, I felt like something was missing... I wasn't satisfied with the car aesthetically.
Two RX-8s in particular made me want to re-consider changing the entire appearance of the car. One, being konigs with his whitewater pearl RX-8. My first SevenStock was when I first saw his car, and I instantly fell in love with the look. After doing some research on the Vertex kit, I came across Sifu's thread which confirmed my decision on what kit I really wanted.
At one point, I considered piecing together the full R-Magic kit instead, primarily because I did not want to be another "Vertex RX-8" in Cali... I scrapped that idea realizing that it just didn't meet my taste and I was doing it out of impulse more than actually liking the kit. I let go of the feeling of "copying" someone and decided from that point on to just do whatever the **** I want.![Wiggle](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wiggle.gif)

I'm very satisfied and happy with the car now. It still needs some work and several minor changes I plan to do on certain parts of the car, which will again take some time. For now I'll enjoy this while it lasts.
I would like to do a huge shoutout to Rmanis Works (818-263-7725) in North Hollywood, CA for taking care of my car and going over every detail to make sure I'm satisfied with their work. It took me a month and a half to get my car back due to delay in parts arriving, but it was worth the wait. Caulin, from Bulletproof Automotive for his excellent customer service. As always, a big thanks to my friends at Rotary Lounge for their help and support for the last three years and counting as well as some of my other RX-8 friends, you know who you are.
P.S. I took these photos at my work, Lol.
