Did you take these pics over by Father Capodanno Blvd.? I used to go down there when i was still playing high school hockey. Judging by the background it looks like it, but I could be wrong.

Also, nice pics. I love the color!

klepto

i may be there tomorrow...

i took them at gateway park off hylan blvd. were you driving on hylan today going towards tottenville today, i passed a vr 8 going the opposite way from me?

clean, although...

get a clear bra for sure. lol i had it on my front back a while ago, but had a little mishap, so i tore it off. no paint came off. the idea is to wait around 30 days after painting to put a clear bra on, so the paint can fully cure.

i plan to get mine clear bra'd again soon. it's worth it if you don't repaint your front often. i went through 4-5 repaints already and it adds up.

If it was around 2:30 in the afternoon, it was most likely me. I was coming back from school.

snipaz2420

well thats good to hear the paint wont come off if you pull of the bra. if anything i still have my stock bumper so i can let the paint settle and bring it to be cleared without having to worry about the bumper getting messed up in the mean time. thanks ngo

yea i think it was around that time

chrism

the hood is way too much...trade it with mine

Mazdaspeed RX8 ver2

how was the fitment and installation?

IcarusX8

NO! Snipaz, keep your hood, it's sick. And what size wheels are those? I found them but they only seem to be available in 19s, 20s but I thought those were 18s...

snipaz2420

done deal tomorrow!

installation is very easy and the fitment wasnt to bad. there are some gaps and one of the vents wasnt properly trimmed so it doesnt exactly sit perfectly. i posted pics in the fiberglass fender vent thread.

dont worry im keeping it, just an inside joke with chrism. the wheels are 18x8.5 i'll pm you the link

really nice snipaz, i love your car, i wanna photoshop it so it has a red glow like knight rider after what someone said about your car, i love that hood, its nice n aggressive like the frony bumper

snipaz2420

chrism

im gonna freshen mine up with kenny in the spring....wanna see if he will do a 2 for one?

snipaz2420

if the price is right i dont see why not. maybe i'll have my rear by then and he can do that to

SoFL_RX8

Dude it looks great but you really should put some black meshing in those openings of the front bumper to protect your radiator and oil coolers from damage.

Nice choice of hood btw

photo chick

now that is sex on wheels
i love the aggressive look. and ya, i agree with the few that said tint it, especially if you're going for the knightrider affect, BUT at $80 a ticket, i don't know if you'd be willing to pay that a few times just to have a hot ride

snipaz2420

you were my hood inspiration i'm going to probably wind up getting the racingbeat screens and just retro fitting the oil cooler screens for this bumper

thanks photochick! tint will be done but right now i have other priorities i need to take care of(rear bumper). and i'll probably wind up getting 35% so it wont be too too dark to attract the cops

ivory8

in pic 4 it looks like its only a 2 seater. for some reason the cockpit (terminology?) looks SOO much tinier than normal =P

lol looks good

snipaz2420

lol yea it does! some of the angles cut out the back seats
