for someone saying they don't have a lot of money to spend on body kits, this couldn't have been cheap (even if it makes it look cheap). really not digging it but it's your car and not mine so at least that's a positive.

Sorry, but I think it looks awful. Does your exhaust have a down-turn pipe hidden behind there?

not feeling this at all, sorry.
Although, it seems to be in line with the rest of the look of your car.

what did you do to the exhaust?

it has a racing beat race muffler so there nothing wrong with the bumper melting or anything. i know alot of 8 guys wouldnt like it. but people that arent really into the 8 seem to like it. i think it gives it a cleaner look and maybe you guys would have to see it in person to say it not that bad.

So you're saying you don't like the 8 then?

Because what you've done to it makes it look like a 300C from the back.

Honestly though, what sort of validation are you looking for? You said that 8 owners don't like your car, so why do you keep posting pictures?

If it makes you happy, great. But leave it at that.

It looks like snow, ice and road grime would get caught up in there. I wish I had the skills to make custom body pieces.

with the paint scheme + black stockers + painted lights.. it looks plenty rice to me. reminds me of a whale

Dunno.. like everyone said, the back is too fat now. I always thought the stock back was a little fat as it is, but at least there was separation. whatever, as long as you like it though.
