Car looks good, but it keeps throwing me.. I'm too used to you having a burgundy car with those wheels..

I dont really dig the wheels at all, but to each their own. The car looks great overall. Very clean.

new wheels are on the way.

The wheels are rays wheels. They looked great when the car was burgandy but aren't up to the task of the new kit and color.

The body kit is a vertex kit purchased from www.speedalliance.com

here's what the car looked like before the kit

wheels are for sale with good tires or with no tires up to you I'll post that info in the for sale forums

Nobody said the wheels were fakes etc, they just dont look good. Car will look very nice w/ new wheels though

Nice kit! At first I thought it was Friends Aero. I like the wheels too, I need a break from seeing 4" lip wheels in every other thread.

I just mentioned that because a lot of companies copied them and played them out.

something I just noticed the car looks orange in the picture but it's red. Bright red. The paint has some orange pearl so it make the camera clip and displays orange. Wierd??

now that, ladies and gentlemen is how you build a nice clean 240. yeah, and i like the wheels. they look nice.

very clean. Looks like it could go lower maybe an inch or more.

I like the car a lot, paint looks awsome. I also really like how you didn't try to do a headlight conversion. I think that's cool that you pimp the Zenki style. People are always so quick to try to get kouki or s15 lights. If I had bought a Zenki, I would have kept it a Zenki.

nice car man.. i dont dig the wheels but im sure you'll switch them out in no time. polish up that exhaust...unless it's a lost cause. but yeah, nice car.

i like the zenki tails... ive kept them on my car and plan on keeping them on my car (my cars black). but on your redish-orange car, i really think the kouki tails would look nicer. just my opinion. otherwise, good job. oh yeah, you could lower it more but i haven't either so im not gonna hassle you about it.

the piss yellow headlights don't do the sweet paint job any justice..

and i'm not feelin' those wheels or the spoiler.. other than that.. very NICE zenki..

im not being a dick, im just giving my oppinon. you asked for it!

1) as stated directly above me, headlights
2) the front end just doesnt look right, to much space. your gonna fix that though right ; )
3) little brakes with big wheels, just doesnt fit right
4) the color. people who get body kits tend to get there cars painted bright colors and it bugs me. maybe its just because im into really subtle cars. i would have liked to see it just get it painted the stock color but with the more aggressive body pieces.

all in all good show though!

It looks great. But my only compaint, are the Honda rims. Go for some nice deep dish rims, or some nice meshes, such as the bbs rs's. Other then that, it looks, nice.

4) the color. people who get body kits tend to get there cars painted bright colors and it bugs me.


so should people with body kits paint their car to a less bright color to meet ur needs?


i would have liked to see it just get it painted the stock color but with the more aggressive body pieces.


u would of liked to see it..but too bad its not ur car


all in all good show though!

hope ur not calling him a show queen

awesome kit, one of my favorites actually...
but those wheels are muerte!

hopefully some nicer looking wheels go on the car...
what a HUGE difference nice wheels help accentuate and bring out the kit more:

kit and color are nice.
wheels arent my style, but ur getting new ones soon any way. so no biggie
headlights could use a cleaning but they arent that bad.

Ur car is str8t. I liked the stock look (lip & fogs). Stock is hott...
But, kits look nice too. In this case, ur car looks str8t either way. Clean ride...

i really like that color i think. the reason you think he has small brakes is cause his calipers are black, lol. =)

as for wheels, man, wheels don't need bling bling lip for it to be nice. more drop and slightly better offset will make it look good.

nice

but the wheels destroy how the car looks. good otherwise.

Steeles

Very Hot. so what are the new wheels that are on the way since everyones harping on the current ones?

TurDz
08-15-2004, 01:33 PM
The rear end on the first two pics looks REALLY good. Very flush and clean...just the way I would like my own car. I think lip is good but flush spokes is also nice. Your wheels look good but I don't really like the actual design of the spoke. Something like Advan Model 6's are more my style.

jdzumwalt
08-15-2004, 01:46 PM
the wheels are a 33 offset unfourtunatly the over sized fenders make them look very honda like.

I'de lower the car more but I can't get it in my driveway.
The car has JIC coilover so I can lower it as much as I want

The wheel are either going to be gtn volks, professors sp1, or posibly some sterns.

I have the front mount intercooler sitting in my garage right now it will be installed this week.

Head lights are on the way. They look a lot more yellow in the picture that in person.

Remeber guys this car is red. The color is 2004 rx8 red, with little bit more pearl just to give it some style.(can you say shiny)

I appreciate all the opinions.

I'de say you can check it out at the 240sx convetion but I heard it got cancled.

i'm not feelin the wheels with the red paint. the finish on the wheels isn't flowing with the paint.... i do like the wheels though. i would put it on my [black] zenki but i've already got a set of something else

jdzumwalt
08-15-2004, 02:29 PM
The wheels are sic they just look bad on my car. oh well any body want to buy them?

08-15-2004, 02:35 PM
nice car period,I am not a red paint fan but it looks really good. your changing the wheels and you made that comment ahead of time so I do not see why people are ripping on them.
