Looks good... is it me or are the sides off a little bit? Maybe too far forward?

Yeah that is the first thing I noticed while looking at the side pic. It is too far forward and does not flow with the curve of the wheel well.

I don't think different lighting would change it. The sides obiviously do not match up well with the fenders. and to me it looks like they are a bit darker than the rest of the car.

yeah there's something wrong with the sides, but everything else looks great! love the front lip and the hood's fitment looks perfect.

For some reason, I feel like the back just looks empty. I would get the INGs rear or something.

Dont bother getting a new rear end just paint the lower plastic portion and replace the fake mesh with real mesh, Ive seen a few rx8s on here who had that done at it looked pretty good. I'm tempted to get mine done whenever I paint my spoiler

ive thought about putting a carbon rear diffusor or something but it cost way to much for nothing. im not really a big spoiler fan either so i think im just gona leave the rear as it is for now till something more reasonable come along

hmmm the appearance package stuff you can get reasonably cheap, it would make your back bumper flow into your side skirts
