Looks nice Marky, what lugs are those? The blue on mine was flaking off before I even got them on the car and I think I like the open ended look. I was even thinking about that lip... Ti-Great minds think alike I guess, lol.

lol, yeah pretty similar... but I'm not gutsy enough to drop mine that low, roads are total crap here in Iowa. Not for sure yet what I want to do for body mods... I still like the Mazdaspeed look a lot, and the quality. I have plenty of time to think about it, it'll be a while before I have enough money saved up to start buying body parts. It doesn't matter much anyways since we'll be getting blizzard conditions in the next day or two and the snow probably won't go away until March or April

I was going purely off looks... i have no idea what offsets those come in.

Agree 100% about the car though

The eaton blower feeds off air forced through an intercooler, mounted atop the engine , hence the hood scoop.

I would take the 04 S/C MS concept over Zumns car 110% of the time. I suppose nasty dog dick is my poison of choice? Perhaps I just have fond memories of first reading the article in SPEED with hopes an MS version really was in R&D...

edit: Here's the thread if anyone would like to reminisce of a time when we thought there would be a factory FI renny -> https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-media-news-11/new-mazdaspeed-rx-8-a-42108/
