Aggressive Veilside Front Bumper on RX8

The RX8 is a great platform for modifications. It has that elongated front end longs for more bulk, that’s where Veilside comes in. Just like B.O.B says, “Whatever I touch turns to gold,” the same rule applies for Veilside. They are one of the most famed vendors around and once you see this customer’s RX8 you’ll understand why.

Veilside takes the way a car looks stock and makes it how every tuner would want it to look. They bulk it up, streamline the curves and add that aggressive edge you want from an aftermarket upgrade. This Veilside VS D1-GT Front Bumper does just that for this RX8. Complimented with the carbon hood and custom lighting in the ducts, this thing’s BAD!!! To those who aren’t “car savvy” the look of this RX8 could compete with other exotics. Even to us enthusiasts this thing holds its own in a crowd of Ferrari’s, Lambo’s, etc. Beyond the look, Veilside focuses on the aerodynamic of the front bumper.

Enjoy these dream-worthy pictures of this upgraded RX8. If you’re looking for an upgrade you can shop Veilside Here or shop aero/body parts here.

Limited Edition Mag Blue TE37SL"s on a Sexy Black RX8

With the RX8 being discontinued after the 2011 model year, this soon to be classic decided to go out with a bang! The RX8 is one of the sexiest models Mazda came out with. Similar to the FRS and BRZ models, the frame is a canvas for aftermarket enthusiasts. These cars are meant for aftermarket upgrades.  This customer knew the best and easiest ways to have his car make a statement, was with a new set of wheels. However, he didn’t know the exact look that he wanted. He ended up getting a hold of our sales person Ahmed (ahmed@vividracing.com ext. 231) who was able to get him setup with the most aggressive look on the road. They ended up deciding on a set of Mag Blue TE37SL’s. The Mag Blue is the fierce subtle touch he was looking for to turn his RX8 into a show stopper. Here’s what he had to say about the customer service and guidance he received.

“I am a pleased customer of Ahmed Sulfab from Vivid Racing! I had called Vivid Racing not knowing what rims I would come away with. I had an idea of what I would like. I had told him my guidelines and he had given me the right choices and he was with me the whole way narrowing the rim choices down. It’s a perfect fit from his experience and my car has been posted many places now even from this SMART CHOICE. I talk highly of Vivid Racing and Ahmed Sulfab who had helped me out. I plan to come to you again in the future with guidance to choose other parts.”
