Minus the spoiler of course, that thing makes me cringe.

I like it, it looks reptilian. What do you think?

abflug, there's a black one in the tristate area, but I think he moved to maryland.

ABFlug.....unless you see it in person i wouldnt judge......there are 2 in the US that i know of, one is in PA (BLACKOUT) and the other is i believe in the south...its far from ricey, very exclusive (if its the real thing)....without the wing it would look funny because the wing finishes it....its an ultra wild kit that looks pretty good up close and personal

Yes, thats EXACTLY what I was thinking of!!! I love it. I'll buy it if I have any money left over from a turbo kit.

I looked at that kit, but it was a bit extreme. I also looked at this without the wing

It's also one that's not very common.

Yeah it does, but I don't want to wait three or more months. Waiting on wheels is bad enough! :(

i've always thought this kit was one of the worse ones around for the rx8

IMO it depends on what you ultimately want to do with your car. For a strictly trailered show car, maybe......and thats a stretch even there, but for street use you'd be hard pressed to be able to enjoy your car for what it's worth without the constant worry about tearing up the front end. That was one reason I kept looking, and I am making my baby a strictly show car once she's done. With that said, I still went in a different direction.

Another thing I've researched is color combinations. Some kits look better in some colors than others. Just my .02. GL

The lines and curves on the side skirts do not flow with the curvature of the car at all.

Well imo it completely fucks up the lines on the car , its too straight on the front , but thats just me. I usually like "Extreme" body kits like veilside and R-magic. I Give this kit a thumbs down lol. Oh btw nice kit chrism :)

its a cool kit yeh its extreme but that doesnt matter its what each person likes. the front is def cool the back and wing are ok but i agree with chrism people always says it stupid or ricey but then they see one in person and they change their opinion

hideous, though not nearly as bad as their supra kit.

great way to ruin a once awesome car, just as with the Rx-8, sometimes jdm exclusivity can be a bad thing. :D:

I just so happen to own parts of this kit... so yeah if you want to do my deal, buy the sides and rear and get a different front end... I thinkt he vielside ver2 would go a lil better than my R-magic

I'm going to agree with that
and the sides of that front end don't flow with the shape or lines of the door.

I do think that the front bumper in as of itself looks great, but it doesn't go with the rest of the car. ergo it's ricey

Love it. Own it, Would do it again. Skipped the spoiler. I've had more people comment on how good it looks compared to actually none who say it looks bad. Might be they don't want to hurt my feelings. I'm too much of a jerk so people always feel free to take a shot at me. Do it...DO IT!

I say go for it. You will def have one of the most unique looking 8's out there. As long as it is really well fitted and well painted, i dont believe ANY 8 kit is TOO extreme. But dont you dare get that kit and run it with stock wheels! LOL That kit would def require some sweet wheels, wide rubber and lowered.

GET IT!

I agree about the lines. The kit is very straight but the RX8 is naturally curvy. But I still think its awesome. One of my favs
