Both girls in the passenger seats look miserable

Sorry I couldn't show up guys, had a session late Friday into Saturday and slept in until 6pmish

SANguru · 04-06-2016, 01:25 PM

sorry I missed it. Was down in Santa Barbara. Saw a Protonic Blue i8 coming down 101 on Sunday morning.

Who owns the blue i8, a blind guy?

The rim job (no pun intended) is a bit much, but if you're happy with it, then who cares?!

They look like toothpaste to me though

MalibuBimmer · 04-08-2016, 09:30 AM

I like those wheels! Hell, I used to drive on those wheels.

YWGT3 · 04-08-2016, 09:48 AM

twm6: All kidding and ribbing aside, great idea and touch with the red accent. It certainly gives your i8 a nice and distinct look. I'm tempted to replace all the blue accents on my sophisto gray with that excellent red color choice. Do you mind providing me with your installer's contact info. and the exact red color code/name used? Tempted to bring the i8 down to SoCal for wrapping the sills as well.

Thanks in advance.

No offense intended, bro. I figured, if anyone personalizes their car this much, they have enough self-confidence to accept the fact that not everyone will like it.

twm6 · 04-08-2016, 02:06 PM

no offense taken guys!!! we are all here to share our passions and to learn from one another. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Come to think of it they do look like the CREST toothpaste, and I also had many people came up to me asking if I was a seattle seahawks fan?

YWGT3: the red they used is a very special one, its brush aluminum red and reflects at night. So all you see if the red slip at night as the car drives by. PM me and I can tell you more

This should be my i8, considering I'm originally from Seattle
