- Universal Air bags over stock struts
- Trunk Set up by IG:StatusAutomotive
- Coding done by IG:Richcodedmycar
- MaxHaust Sound Booster

Hope you guys like it! Let me know if you have any questions!

-Pete

Do you have any trunk space or visibility outside the center rear view mirror?

No more trunk space or visibility - but my reverse camera is coded to allow view-ability when driving.

I had a hidden trunk set up before this but i only ever drive this on weekends and to car shows.

So far I've spent about $20k. Going to part out soon for build #4 - for SEMA '18.

jcpca356 · 07-31-2018, 01:23 PM

phew. godspeed man

MichaelJohn · 07-31-2018, 05:52 PM

How can you drive it anywhere that isn’t pool table flat?

Edit:
Just saw your list of mods. How much can you lift it?

Maanpur · 08-02-2018, 01:20 PM

Sick mods. Love it. Enjoy your i8.

jwwcree · 08-13-2018, 10:42 AM

What is your expected HP gain from the modifications?
The votsteiner diffuser look Awsome

kdbryce · 08-13-2018, 10:43 AM

Not really my style, but it definitely looks cool

M3 Adjuster · 08-13-2018, 10:43 AM

Lol love the screen name

GP0256 · 08-13-2018, 10:46 AM

Nastiest i8 I've ever seen! Nice work

M3 Adjuster · 08-13-2018, 10:46 AM

Holy crap that's slammed and the screen name is appropriate

Lol that was fast. 22" actually don't look huge on the car.

I hope you never get rear ended though sincerely. That air tank placement seems a bit risky.

Costello1991 · 08-13-2018, 11:47 AM

Killer look .

OFFWHITEX5 · 08-13-2018, 11:59 AM

Sick Build. Wallpaper Photoshoot to match. Very Nice. Keep up the great work and can't wait to see the next one.

freshxdough · 08-13-2018, 12:25 PM

So how do you perform an oil service if you can't remove the rear cover from all the air components?

He could have went with PHAT i8 as well

JasH · 08-13-2018, 01:39 PM

Each to their own.

Basically spoiled the aero, drivability and weight balance. Added significant weight high up, raising centre of gravity, and to the already heavier rear.

Standard i8 will eat this in performance. Although the tyres may just give enough of an edge to compensate.

On the plus side, certainly looks aggressive

Kingpin4 · 08-13-2018, 03:32 PM

Great build!

Looks amazing! Well done!

Jason B · 08-13-2018, 03:47 PM

You doing a rear wing? I've seen a few that look cool.

Also, love the plate!

SoCali E36 · 08-13-2018, 04:24 PM

I assume no fat chicks allowed on board because the car will scrap?
