As the aggressive stance scene keeps growing, so do the challenges of standing out from rest of the crowd. Mazda RX8’s have never really been taken seriously by the fitment-crazy crowd until recently. We are seeing more and more of them around the net, and some of them are absolutely stunning, such as this one from Washington. It belongs to a guy named Sean, and we gotta say that he seriously has an awesome taste when it comes to his car. This thing looks aggressive as hell, and definitely makes you think twice about fitting an RX8. Read the rest of the story below.

The presence of this car upfront is just disturbing, especially when you have a amazing photographer like Jonathan Ray to capture it. The EVO-R carbon Fiber front lip is sitting just inches off the ground and those KEI Office Replica eyelids were just the perfect touch. You’re definitely going to consider moving to the side when you see that face in your rear view mirror. Sean is a very big fan of the carbon-fiber look, so he wrapped his roof and the trunk with the latest wrap from 3M. Other Carbon Fiber things are the VIS hood as well as the EVO-R lip as we previously noted. This RX8 also has a set of Seibon CF skirts, but at the time of the shoot they were off for some reason. Fitment specs below.
Sitting Right:
18×9.5 + 15 offset Bronze MB Battles
225/40/18 (F) and 245/40/18 (R)
BLox anodized blue extended lugs
Megan track coilovers
As you can see, the sexy MB Battles seem to flow very well with the rest of the car. Not too simple or too crazy, but the 9.5 with the +15 clearly work on this bad boy. Sean bought this thing brand new back in 2008, and has been daily driving it ever since.
Now that he is somewhat satisfied with the way the car sits and looks, his focus is all under the hood. Make sure you click Read More to find out what the guy is planning on doing and why.
You see, Sean is a serious car guy. He has been working on cars with his step dad for a while now, and as a matter of fact, one of the first cars they’ve built was a 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle SS. Now, if you know anything about American classics, you know that majority of them are packing some serious power under their hoods. We only point this out because the next big upgrade to this car will be the almighty LS1 under the hood. Can’t say we’re not looking forward to that ourselves, as a matter of fact, all we could think of when we heard that was how sweet this thing would look sideways!
Big thank you as always to our photographer Jonathan Ray, and if you’re a fan of his photos as much as we are, make sure you take a second and vote for him by clicking this link. Also, Sean and his amazing RX8, both of you are awesome and as we said before, we’re looking forward to that LS1. Make sure you stay in touch and hit us up when that monster is ready to be “unveiled”.
