Had a conversation recently with a stranger at a car grooming centre while waiting for our rides to be washed...he was of the opinion that "sports cars must have a bodykit to look nice" - "boh bodykit buay swee". Just curious to find out what everyone thinks/feels about kitting up their rides...so I'm gonna start a poll for the fun of it.

body kits r very subjective..... it will sure make ur 8 look different from e original ones on e street but will depend if u r into looks individually.

Lets be more realistic about it, 90% of us choose e 8 for 1 main reason, which is e LOOKS! So, it goes to show tat we r somehow or rather concerned about e shape and exterior attraction.

Tat means, if there is spare cash and deep pockets one should/will go for bodykits to give e 8 a cosmetic touch up. On other note, some might just appreciates e stock look on e 8.

I personally will kit my 8. just waiting for today's ToTo group 1.....:lol2:

yeah man...very subjective indeed. i consider this kit nice and simple because it complements the lines of the car and doesn't look too complicated or bulky, even if major work is required. there are some out there (i'm sure you've seen plenty) that make the car look like something else altogther, very 'pai kuah'...

that's mean we have 4 red knight sports, 3 white, 1 black, 1 silver and .....anymore?

still quite rare.....kekeke

keep it that way... :)

coupe07, what side mirror is that? auto-bahn?

RX8's outlook itself is fierce enough compared to most cars BUT when u parked beside the rest of the 8s during meetups u may find something missing if ur ride is stock.

Juz my 2cents of thoughts.

Cheers!

I haven't even parked beside the rest of the 8s and I already feel that my car is naked.. naked I tell you! Urgh.. I want my bodykit so bad :banghead:

the 8 looks great without any kits. Alot of bodykits ends up making it worse. I like the ones that are offered by the dealership. I think it was called the Performance package with sideskirts, rear and front lips. Maybe a tasteful trunk lip. Big wings don't look nice on the 8 because the rear is already raised (or look raised).

Most kits fit like crap and need alot of work to be done properly.

And then that work is never done so the car looks like crap.

Just remember that.

original kits from Japan has very good fittings...

the "crap" kits that u r referring to that needs lots of work i assumed are replicas which are a waste of time...

With or wo kit is subjective, and really it's up to individual taste.

I've seen quite a number of RX8s with chiong kits - how to tell? either cracked, or wavy lines, or poor fitting etc.

Please, you're not buying a rex, honda etc - this is an 8. if you cannot afford an original body kit, then get original addons if that's to your taste - or just keep it stock - don't insult the 8.

For those that think 'naaah. nobody will know' - note that pple can tell, and will be laughing behind your back.

Also lately, there seems to be tons of new 8s out there that have no respect for the law or for other 8 drivers - drive like madman. Guys, have respect for the car and yourselves, and let's not cheapen the image of the 8 on the roads

im personaly going for the mazda speed wide body that s*it is hot!

solo!

can post pic of mazda speed wide boykit? new kit?

I have never seen a Mazdaspeed wide body.

Just got back from a vacation to the land of the rising sun...looks like this thread is still buzzing!

Anyways, an interesting observation...spotted a few 8s in Tokyo while walking on the streets and also some parked beside my Jap friend's car on a couple of occasions...to my surprise, none were kitted, except a red 8 with only the Mazdaspeed GT wing, somewhere near Mt Fuji. All their rims were stock too.

Spotted a few STIs and Evos without kits too...quite contrary to my erstwhile held beliefs about the Jap auto scene...or maybe I was in the wrong prefecture / part of town!? :lol:

Most of the Japanese are really polite and sound drivers...and have positive traffic rules, like how to say 'thanks' using your hazard lights when someone gives way to you. Had a really pleasant time cruising (as a passenger) on their highways...we S'poreans have got plenty to learn from them...

Mazdaspeed kit...

there is a AutoExe kit dat is marketed for 'adults'...i.e not too riceboi and flashy and it cums without the GT Wing...subtle and sophiscated looking makes ur ATE look abit more 'mature'..i like...:fingersx:
