Maybe it's just me, but the strakes don't seem to follow the body lines. It's like they are angled upward a bit. But other than that, it's nice.

Thank you all for your valuable advice.

I'm thinking about removing all the stuff and make something a little bit crazy but unique. I will put in my mind not to lose the 40th anniv. theme, which is what I love the most in my car.

Ahhhhh No!

Not feeling the vinyl and the fins at all
You say you don't want to take away from the 40th theme. What you have done has done just that.... I'd keep in original and do minor mods like exhaust, tints, leds, etc. Things like this won't take away from the OE Rx8 appearance (its is the 40th) IMO. Keep it simple.

each to their own

I may be racking up 2000 miles a month on my 40th, but I have absolutely no plans for any visual mods. The car just looks so good as is. There is a member on here who does have a CF hood and 20" rims. While it's not a bad look at all, it's better on his car

Well, thank you again for your comments. I really appreciate it.

As I told you before, I will get rid of all the stuff that I put on my car.

ZumnRx8 .... I will follow your advice ... you convinced me !!

Rotary Rasp ... thanks for passing by ... your words were the easiest to translate ...

English is not my first language and I tried my best to translate what they said ..

Anyway, I think I will roll back to the original look ... and no more crazy stuff !!

Welcome zooooni to 8club! Be sure to head over the NW section to meet some of the locals and find info on meets and drives

FWIW I say mod the 40th and keep the OE parts around to swap back

I took the dragon off ...

I need your help to get rid of all shark fins without damaging the surface...

Can I do it by myself or do I have to ask someone professional to do that for me?

pdxhak ... thanks and I am working on it ...
