06carbon8 - can't say i agree with most of your car (fart can, big wing, etc.) but good to see that if i drop i won't be rubbing. i'm surprised b/c it looks pretty close as it is on mine without dropping it.

meh thanks for the opinion, i always appreciate critiscism (sp?) even if it isn't in my favor haha. I'm kinda glad you aren't "crazy" about it, cuz then your car would probably look like mine and life would be boring. I dropped mine as far as the tein basics would let me, and I've never rubbed, even with 1 in the backseat.

SE3P, how do you like the proxes t1r's? I just ordered a set of Advan Super Ver.2 yesterday, and I was considering those tires. It's either them or azenis st115's.

I'll post a few pics up later on today, so you guys know what I'm talking about with the lights.
the exhaust is just an 5Zigen muffler, with mandrel bent pipe from cat back and no resonator. I just used oem pipe diameter and welded it all up.

Lol. Rite now, I have some KYB shocks and some Tenabe Spings thats if for now. Im about to get the Tanabe anti roll bars.. I want to get the MS ft tower brace and rear tower bar if they make one.

I have the same tires on my 8. They work great in dry and wet no problems at all. not the best thing if you live where it snows or gets very cold.. but other than that... Great summer dry/wet tire.

I am ordering the anodized silver Fn01r-c w/ 245/40/18 tomorrow for my yellow RX8, The tire shop is telling me that the +38 off set will rub the inside of the fenders when you turn hard anybody with this off set having this issue? I realize that the +48 are closer to the factory rims, but I sure like the way the +38 look in the above Photos.
