my car has gone through some changes

Chris, if you are to change suspension, might as well go with full suspension change So that once you have everything done, turbo/sc would be the next and maybe last stop for you (thats if you don't keep on having more ideas to pimp your ride )

I have to chime in and sadly say it looks patched together to me. I like some parts and hate some parts. I have built a few show cars and can appreciate the good work on the installs though. It does not seem to flow.

not that you need to hear it from a newbie but looks pretty darn good to me. of course i'm also a stock 8 driver but will hopefully have some mods down the line. i don't know if it's the computer nerd in me or what but i like the 'rotary inside' sticker.
lookin' good.

Understandable to want kudos, I guess, but if you throw up a dozen pics, you open yourself up to comments like the one you're responding to in that quote. I'm with swerver and redcivic, it looks thrown together and has numerous elements that I find objectionable... Like it was modified just for the sake of modifying it. Just HOW completely wrong the finished product ended up is shown by the pics side-by-side with that black RX-8, apparently stock without even any of the "appearance pak" bits.

I like it, kinda, i agree with the not flowing comment. If the grey parts were black, it'd flow so much better but the faux cf look im not into. But thats not exactly major, the sticker too are questionable but as you said they can be taken off.
All in all, good effort, hopefully in a week ill put pics of mine up when the kit gets put on it :D

ok first of all did i ask for a single opinion from any one? i think not! i merely posted pictures up....now some may say that if you have something nice to say then say it, but there is no need to be rude....some people on these boards like to bash because it makes them feel better about themselves but its not necessary.....personally if i dont like the look of other peoples cars (and there have been a few on here) i keep my comments to myself...and i also do accept constructive criticism like recivic but what you and swerver are doing is not the same....

I personally love posting pics on the net because people give you an honest opinion because they are not affraid to hurt your feelings. I had an RSX with almost 20k in it and I had these chrome Velox rims on it that I thought were hard. Well my first show I heard a judge make a comment as he walked off about how blingy the rims were. I came in second place to clean JDM teg. Which sucked because this was in 01' when the RSX was new so I got a big wow factor from the judges that had not seen modded RSX's before.
So afterwards I bought a digital camera and posted some pics on www.honda-acura.net and eveyone loved my car but dogged my wheels. The next week I bought some 18" Enkei RS-5's and never got less than 1st place after that (there were hardly any modded rsx's around back then so I competed against tegs). My point is that the judge did'nt want to dog me out so he did'nt say anything to me. I wish he would have just told me "I would have given you 1st place if it were not for those gay rims".

As for being "rude", I think that the criticism you've seen of your vehicle is some of the least rude "bashing" ever seen in the history of the internet message boards.

And don't worry, I don't think you're having a "go" at me any more than chrism should think that I'm having a "go" at him. Can't I express my opinion without it being taken as a flame? I don't think any of the language I've used has been derogatory.

I think its because we have faced some real REAL negative comments in the past, and sometimes get a bit defensive. Its human nature after all.
I guess maybe now that you clarified that you werent intently trying to criticism him..
Yes its an open forum for various opinions and whether we like them or not, we're going to have to read them.. I always thought the cars looks is a slight reflection on us, so hence the reason why people mite get hurt and why some mite not like it, cuz we're all different.
lol Now im sounding like a greeting card hey
