not much to go on so far: :(

Exterior:
lowered with clamps!
Tinted Windows (added at purchase from Discount Trucks)
5-spoke Halfords wheel trims (don't laugh, I'm saving for THE alloys, and they actually look quite good in gunmetal grey :wink: )

Interior:

Kenwood DVD player, with self-fitted, auto-switching reversing camera (dead chuffed with that!)

How about each post here also has a link to our gallery photos, if we have them?

I love those smoothed out rear door, i didn't realise that you could buy a ready built panel, did you import that yourself? i was going to fabricate my own but if there is one already...

just started the pimp...

exterior,

RX8 alloys, custom painted black,
front grill now painted black to match all the other body kit
roof painted black,
windows tinted, you guessed it... black!
large stainless twin exhaust (came with it from japan)

interior.

stock at the moment but about to begin camper conversion, trying to create a great pimp look but practical as well.
