I think its 50% pure sex and could only be better if you did the other side.


Then after your done turning the bumper into swiss cheese you will be ok shelling out 500$ on a new bumper.

guess I should go ahead and say "enjoy"...I always try to keep reversibility in all my mods. as I know that other people may not have the style that I have...or lack of style, you be the judge if you want (pics of my car in my albums).

small subtle changes are what I like....but you like what you like and that's just fine.

Your Z looks very identical to my old Z

I typically keep reversability in mine too, I saw pics of other RX8's with it and liked the look so I just went for it.

Honestly I think it looks better on your 8 than it does on a Z but all in all it is just the mod that everyone dislikes not your 8. Most people look at this mod and view it as 1 lvl up from a discount auto fake fender vent. You get the 1 lvl up cuss it functions and made of real CF but still is viewed in the cheap catagory.

That makes sense. Oh well, modding on a budget I guess

okay, I never started this thread as a 350Z vs RX8 thread, nor do I want to compare them, there has been enough comparison between the two and it seems like a lot of people here are hating simply because the car demonstrated in the pictures is NOT a 350Z.

I have owned a 350Z, I was a sales manager for a Nissan dealership, I know all about them and how nice they are, I don't need flaming becuase I dont own one *anymore**

For 8000 + posts, I would've expected a more contributive post.

I am serious though it looks better on the 8 than the Z. I even think you could pull off the dual CF intakes cuss the front is so small. I think it looks bad on a Z but looks great on the 8. Just my taste though, after all isnt that all there is in this post is what peole think looks good. I know its been said and is pushed aside cuss its so obvious and you want to show others what you see but its all in the eye of the beholder man. If you like it, sport it out and represent your style.

Your anology was inaccurate as well as useless to this thread. Your post was in no way an opinion, just a useless remark in an attempt to **** me off. But its okay, I deal with douches like you all the time

this is a question and not a statement as you have presented it. correction now!

and seriously OP, you're more or so making this into a R8 vs Z thread. how about we don't go down that road?
