I also have the LY color. I was thinking some black graphics, but I doubt I'd go racing stripes. The RX-8 styling just lends itself to something else (for me). Just trying to avoid the whole ricer F&F look.

I think I am going to chrome my rims, rather then color them. We'll see. No matter what it's going to have to wait for warmer weather for me.

You could do the old Dodge Bumble Bee stripes from 1970.



Maybe in Black.

Hi
Welcome to the forum
Please introduce yourself and give a history of the car, add location to your profile and Post some pictures of the car

Check the Calling All Lightning Yellows and the Wheel and the wheel and tire threads.

My list would be
Lower the car a bit
Black 18 x 9.5 wheels with 255-40-18
Yellow brake calipers, black discs and backing shields
Black air dam and rear wing
Dark window tint
Black emblems, black strakes (if you like them)

Less is more. Keep it subtle.

NOOOOOO not another bumblebee. anyways i would not go with racing strips maybe black or darker rims and some black accents. it doesnt take much to make a already eye catching car even more pleasing

Staggered black rims w/polished lip and a real nice tint is all the exterior you need, and if you have money a conservative body kit i.e. Autoexe

Capturing one's attention is one thing - appeasing the eye is a completely different story.


Keep it clean. LY's are one of my favorite colored 8's when they're done correctly.

His newest look makes him the best lookin' LY on this forum imo.

Yea atilla eye catching and appeasing to the eye are. To different things... I want to make it look appeasing to the eye because honestly the yellow is way to bright. At least for my taste

sometimes it's the simplest mods that define a car.
Here is FastRX8's LY with black painted OEM wheels, powder coated calipers, and lowering springs

I wouldn't do yellow and black wheels.... Just black would probably look good though.
