UPDATE

Figured I would snap a few new pictures to contrast with the old...

Now have Tein S-Tech springs (stock OEM shocks), removed strakes and RB rear wing, enjoy!

First, the OLD



Now the NEW




I haven't posted a whole lot, but I have been lurking a while.

Thought I'd post a few pics of my 8. I have added window tint, Work Emotions, Blue Work lugs, Mazdaspeed Sides, Clear Corners and thats about it...

Considering doing springs this summer, opinions are welcome -=)

I am considering RB springs but Tein h-tech also due to the fact that the front gap seems to be significantly larger than rear... enjoy!

ps -- I previously drove an 03 orange mazdaspeed protege that I had lightly modded, I'll throw a few pics up if anyones interested

 

Looks great man, I'm liking the stripes, first time i've seen them on a white 8.

 

No Stripe!

 

The pin-strip looks pretty good.

 

I usually thing pin stripes are the gayest dumbest looking thing ever, but youve successfully pulled it off. I never though Id say this but I think those pin stripes look good

 

First time I see a white 8 with all black wheels and I love it!

I ordered the black rpf1 wheels a few days ago not knowing exactly how it would look but now I am mega excited!

 

beautiful

 

my friend bought a 2007 cx-7 last year. it had the same pin striping. I guess the dealer adds it.

 

damn im lovin it =]

 

your car is so clean.. you should stop by some meets here in houston.. what part of houston you from?

 

looks good.

 

Nice job. Looks really clean.

looks good

 

Great looking car, the stripes fit well, nice color choice...

 

like the pinstripes. and like others have said, I usually hate them with a passion.

 

s0lelife -- I am from Sugar Land area... I used to frequent the h-i forum under the same name: mspeedpro. I came to waco for law school

ya the pin stripe is from the dealership... I realllllly took to it after the dark wheels. I am planning on removing the strakes pretty soon... I tend to mull car-decisions over for way too long

Thanks for all of the comments guys

 

sell me the fender strakes? :D

 

Love the wheels.
This is mine sittin on Tein S-techs

 

Not Badnot Bad

 

i like the pinstripes, nice job

 

WOW this is the first WWP I have seen where I enjoy thoroughly the front lip. Normally I detest them but this is really making me think hard, looks so good with the MS sides!

 

I really like the front and rear appearance package, not sure if I will one day upgrade. I really like the Autobahn front...

Thanks again for the comments. I will post a few more pics in this thread this summer when I finally install aftermarket springs.

 

Also I am roadtripping from Texas to Chicago and back this summer. If there are any whitewater pearls en route without a spoiler I am wanting to do a trunk swap in order to get rid of mine...

Let me know if you or someone you know is interested.

 

Waco? I moved out of that pit a year and a half ago. Not alot going on there except Baylor, maybe. At least Austin/Dallas are pretty close places to get away.

Edit: I will add , if your looking for some good twisty roads to drive your 8 on head North into Bosque County pass Lake Waco. There is some really good rural stretches of hilly, twisty highways.

 

that thing is pretty hot, cool.
