Well guys this is about as good as my photography skills get, I plan on getting a decent photoshoot done soon.

Wheels are 18x9.5 +15 battles with 235/40s on them.

I still need to get the alignment done but other than that hope you guys like it.

haha, the zip ties are definitely not for cosmetic purposes. the front end was smashed, got into an accident earlier this year. the bumper broke into three pieces. rather not drop a **** ton on another front bumper at this point. the passenger fender, hood, radiator support, headlight, etc. was all destroyed. i've pieced everything back myself using junk yard parts and some new parts. believe me, i wish my car was as clean as it was back in the day. but things haven't been so good for my RX8. the car has been through so much crap, i've basically just given up on body aesthetics. illest, fatlace, stance works, canibeat, etc...i will sticker the crap outta my car because i just don't care. they're pretty good for mending cracks and covering up dings/scratches too.

The holes actually funnel through the water seal so nothing gets in the trunk.

Here's a little preview, if anyone cares. I will have more pictures after this coming Saturday I'm sure, with side markers I'm not happy with the color match of the bumper to my paint TBH but in my rush I did not leave them a sample so it's all good. Everything is bolted rather than 3m'd so I can easily remove for those aggressive drives

I want an iphone 4 purely for the HD camera, haha.

Edit: Forgot to mention! SoCal's newest and finest custom wheel boutique WheelFlip is now officially open! For anyone in the area looking to get anything from factory wheels powder coated to custom multi-piece wheels, this is the place to go. Check out the link in my siggy and let 'em know tiltmode sent you

If you are missing out on Mazfest this weekend and looking for a show to check out, come visit the WheelFlip booth at this year's Nisei Showoff in Little Tokyo, LA and say what's up!
