Ok I'm kind of new to this, I thought that I might do a bit of doodling and came up with this. I know it's a kind of dodgy render, I'll do up a better one asap. But I was after your opinion of this kit, any advice would be much apprechiated thanks in advance :)

No offense, but the car itself looks a little off.
Looks like nice siderails, and nice front lip. Kind of a big mouth...

I like your work..

Could someone please explain what part of it looks like the mazdaspeed front bumper, the only part that I can see that looks slightly like the mazdaspeed is the side vents

not bad. i think you should round off the center grille more. kinda looks like an open mouth. i like the bottom lip.

Pretty similar to the Odula kit, but good looking none the less...

I think that looks pretty decent. How about leaving space in the front openings for the fog lights where the thin horizontal lines go.....much like the Cayman fog lights.

It's the exact same front fender on the 2005 Dropstars widebody RX-8 featured in the Dec 05 issue of Performance Auto and Sound magazine. It's also in this month's issue of PAS magazine on pg 200 same color too. It was a one of a kind piece done by John's Customs and Performance in Torrance, Ca. I wish they had made more I would've bought it.

Those fog lights complete the look a lot more for me.

Yeah with the fogs the kit really stands on it's own and I like how you continued the forward progression of the fender lines down to the nose. Really gives the car a mean mug. I'd suggest cleaning up the rear a little, maybe try to reduce the amount of lines? Seems just a bit too busy for my likings, but you're off to a great start!

The second rendering looks nice.. Like Tayler said.. Pretty damn aggressive. With the rear, Id personally remove some of the fins on the lower part & the center *grill* area.. Other than that, not bad.. Curiousity.. How string would that middle bar be with the fog lights?

Does anybody think this kit has a chance on the market? As I said I'm new to this and I really don't know where to go from here. Does anybody know any companies that I should go to about this? Thanks

where are you located? There are a lot of companies in Cali that may be able to address your questions. Shine auto and Accolade are two companies on this forum that have made replica kits, as well as some other knock-off type kits.
