The car looks pretty damn sweet. He must have certainly took advice from one of the only veilside owners to actually pull that kit off! lol
The first thing I noticed was the hole made for the intake because i've always been a bit crazy over XDEEDUBBX's car... Unfortunately it is one of the only mod's on either car that I don't really appreciate.
I just don't find that the car really benefits from it (appearance-wise) and one day I was looking at DEE's for sale thread and the Master Technician at the Subaru dealership I work at seen it and couldn't understand what the idea behind it was as there is only so much air that the intake can handle in the first place, and in his opinion it wouldn't improve the air flow to the intake whatsoever. I wanted to argue with him at first, but this guy is in charge of overseeing every major repair or adjustment made to every Subaru that comes to the dealership, aswell as being an actual rally competitor.
I still think this car looks awesome, and DEEDUB's car is still absolute sex, but i'll no matter what I end up doing to the car, I just can't see me making that same hole in my stock bumper as I don't think is flow properly. (No offense to DEE as I think his RX8 is one of the nicest i've ever seen, and i've always though that)

Oh hell yeah much Props to East Side Collision & Kenny and his staff in Bellevile, NJ (nice healthy plug), these guys did wonders on my busted up door (no thanks to Target, but then again HELL YEAH THANKS TARGET FOR PAYING FOR MY KIT TO BE HANDLED)...
I deff am going back to Kenny in the near future for some more work. I still gotta get a spoiler and I also have some custom paint work for him to do in special top secret places so STAY TUNED.
Kenny, if you are out there buddy and get a chance to read this...thanks for the speedy turn around time of my car and the work and thanks for taking care of her and making her beautiful. (End plug which can be found in the good guy section).

Agreed, It pains me to have to have it there...I already got one ticket (which I am disputing) for not having my tag on the bumper vs. the front window...I may just get a relocation thing and do an off centered JDM look off the lip I guess. If anyone has any ideas Im all ears for them. But i have to have it displayed

yes sir...I told them to Omar's friend...They deff fit the 8 but I didnt want black wheels this time around because I have soemthing that will stand out more. If they had more of a lip on them i would considered using them.

agreed in the near future I will have one...stay tuned.
Next in line is a lil suspension work. Im getting slammed w/some JDM springs...and lower arm. After then maybe some wheels, tints and somewhere in between the spoiler.
STAY TUNED...

Damn can't see the pics.. Will have to check it out from home..
I've been thinking about doing the bumper cutout for a long time.. Keep the benefits of the NA resonance tuning and get colder air flowing in. I don't suppose anyone with this mod has ever logged intake air temps to see the difference?
