I just threw on the cf parts a few weeks ago, and haven't managed to get around to posting any pics yet. Rims, hid upgrades, tein basics, and tint have all been done for awhile, but again, kinda short on time so it's all coming up at once. let me know what you think, if you don't like it try being constructive though, don't just tell me i suck and my car is ugly.
before carbon hood


after carbon hood and hid fog kit





i also have a black reflective decal on the trunk, but i'm not sure how i feel about it. it's cool because it's basically invisible until nighttime and light hits it, but i dunno...opinions?

 

it's unique, the trunk that is but ur car is sexy =) nice stuff

 

Any more pics of that exhaust?

Also, the spoiler kills it. But thats just me, at least you dont have the failside kit.

 

i like the bridge shot. you have a nice setup going but i was scale down the wing if you still want a gt wing

 

Nice, I like.

 

I like it. Can I ask what HID kit you used for the fogs and your impressions?

 

da wing...da rotary experiment sticker..IMHO need to go.

 

^ i second that.

 

some cool pics you got there

 

-1 for the exhaust too. go w/ hks hi power

overall i think ur car is kinna cool tho for some reason

 

throw some clear corners on, minus the exhaust. park bench is okay I guess, and maybe if the Rotary Experiment Eight reflected a diff. color?

 

FYI: the x in RX doesnt stand for experiment or experimental.

u should get the varis lip kit (in CF of course) to complete ur lok. I would of kept the hood copper if it was my car.

 

I see your in Jersey, you coming to the meet?

The car looks good, but not a fan of the Exhaust......

I agree with BigOLundh, go for the CF varis lip kit

 

not for me

 

It looks great, but the wing and sticker need to be thrown off that bridge.

 

the exhaust actually is already gone, i welded it on a few months back, it USED to be a carbon fiber wrapped muff my sponsor gave me for the hell of it, i didnt really like how short the tip was but i gave it a shot anyway. it sounded decent but the carbon burned and turned a grayish color so i've recently ditched it. i have an Apex'i muffler on it now. i have a welder and access to a bender so whenever i get bored i can change it. I'll get some new pics up for you guys soon. The HID kit is a 35 watt ballast, and i have 30000k bulbs in the fogs. I used to work at a dealership so i grabbed a set of factory ballasts/igniters from a mazda3 and bought the bulbs. i know the 30k lights dont put out a ton of light but i like the color. the headlights are 12000k with a 50 watt ballast.

 

The wing is too much for me. Interesting license placement.

 

holy ****, that thing has got WoW factor. Definitely feeling it. That first shot is awesome, was it taken somewhere in Wva or PA perhaps? If your car was created in a vacuum of no ricers existing, its a great example of what modded cars could all be.

p.s. I'm also going to jock your plate location how did you do that, black stretched zip-ties?

Oh, and keep the sticker, looks pretty cool at night probably.

 

Oh, and is that a tow ring hanging out the front scoop? When I get the HKS single side, I'm going to get the factory chrome surrond for inside the exhaust mold on that side. On the other side I want to put a tow ring in the molded area, so its not empty. Where did you get yours, and are there larger ones?

 

Wheels look really good. They fill out the wheel wells nicely. Do they throw off your speedo since they are not the stock diameter?

 

who is sponsoring you?

 

The wheels are very nice, and although I'm not a big CF fan, the hood looks pretty good, especially with your copper red. The wing is too much for me, and the decal is a bit "boy racer." But a nice car- hope to do the plate relocation deal myself.

 

All I can say is why??, and I'm not meaning to be judgemental, but the Copper really is a classy look,,,,,,,and so damn rare! The BC Shinka on the left has a full racing beat kit, modded hood with a working hood scoop, and tats among other things and the one on the left is stock except for a few appearance mods for now. Volks GT-N's are on the way, as well as full stealth bulbs and a Knight sport type 2 nose kit. I'm staying with the OEM spoiler though on the 06. The 05 belongs to a friend.


I have to agree about the CF hood. I'd have had the mods done for air intake and left it Copper.

 

Wow. Way to ruin a perfectly nice car. Maybe next you can get a widemouth failside kit.

 

you dont happen to like oompah music 9k do you?
