God I love white 8's. looks great man, nice wheels, always love the mazda speed kit. I'm a spoiler fan myself, even if they are mostly for show. a mazda speed spoiler or one of the lip spoilers would push that thing over the top. Great car.

*edited: i saw your comment on the carbon spoiler, personally i think it would clash with what you have going on.

Kris,
First, I have to say I think the white RX-8s look amazing stock. However, an all white MS kit...well, I'm in love with your car and would have said so sooner, but I've had to "be alone" because of it.

Care to share where you got the wheels from? Used from another member? These are the exact wheels I want to put on my car. They're absolutely perfect.

LOL!

They are actually from ebay... I think he may have been a member here, he had it on his 8 as well.... Only down fall is, if i drive over a pot hole or bump hard, they rub a bit.... the offset on the rear is a bit too low, but 95% the time i have no problems (knock on wood) mind you I didnt lower the car, And i dont think I will, with the MS Kit I clear most speed bumps etc no problem, I dont want to take the risk or hassle of lowering it... I think it looks fine as is... the MS Kit hides the ground gap nicely, and the wheels fill out the fender alot.. In person their isnt that much of a wheel gap, it will always look better dropped, but I gotta think of the practicallity of it as well...

Your car is looking awesome. Didnt think it would look that good with the kit and no wing but it really does. Just curious why you chose not to do the gunmetal accents on the MS kit. Either way it looks great.

I'm betting it was because #1... another color = more money and #2... his is now different than all other white MS kits. I think it looks killer without the grey. You be the judge.....

Personally, I prefer the accents to be painted grey, creates some contrast...not to mention it makes it looks like it's an authentic MS kit. If not done right it usually looks cheap to me. Kris' turned out pretty good though.

Gorgeous! I like the all white better. I also like the spoiler free lines better. Nice work Kris.

I like the contrast of the grey better as well.....but only fellow 8 owners can tell the difference.... and hardly any 8 owners can tell the difference of my JDM kit to a US one.... so anyway, the lack of grey doesn't really matter.

Oh and I agree with everyone else..... the smooth "no spoiler" look is working for you.

To be honest, the thought of doing the grey/gun metal paint never came across my mind. I dont mind it I actually like the grey... But it never really skipped my mind...

And whitey...your car was an inspiration for mine dude.. Before I even bought the car I fell in love with yours... Thats why I got the white one....

Now onto the stereo... I have all the gear sitting here... Time to start some installin.. only if the weather was a bit better.....

For now im leaving it spoiler less... until i think it needs a bit of a change I will add the Evo R lip spoiler...

Glad I could help!. I always thought I wanted black until I saw the white in person......plus white is so much more low maintenance. Anyway, as I've said before, your car looks great and your wheels look AWESOME! Great job.

I'm sorry but the grey accents look a lot better on the ms kit...especially on the rear. It looks fine how it is but a little bit cheap due to the white accents. Nothing that couldn't be fixed later.

I took a look at it again when i was out at lunch.... I dont think i would like the grey on the rear. . If I had it i wouldnt mind it.. But since i dont have anything else that color on the car.... I think it may look a bit out of place... Plus its not a genuine kit, so i wouldnt want to blatantly copy it right down to the color scheme.
