the mazdaspeed is made of metton. really good body kit material.

 

mazdaspeed is a great option
My personal favorite is the Autobahn


www.japanparts.com should have most of the body kits listed there

 

Mine is duraflex, check it out.

 

DO NOT buy those kits on ebay..... :/

 

^^^

DITTO!!!! in huge yelling at the top of my lungs letters!!!!! Remember! You get what you pay for. Cheap $$=useless or twice the normal cost to have installed or worse.

 

ebay kits = junk
also, anything with the word "replica" in it will also not be a good idea. those replica kits are usually fiberglass and the fitment is off

 

I just assumed he was searching ebay with bodykit names like...invader....and raven..... I've never seen those names outside of ebay.

 

Duraflex sells theirs on eBay, and I can definitely say that the fitment is perfect and the material is exactly as they claim - very durable & will not break/dent near as easily as fiberglass. I had mine painted with PPG and installed for a really good price, plus they painted installed my spoiler.

I am not saying buying off eBay is the best option, but I got mine from Duraflex and I am saying they are great.

 

no andys auto sport, and bodykitz.com..... i dont realy do to much brosing but i know what type i want and yes i kno ebay is a no go and im looking for anything but carbon fiber and fiberglass , i do have the money for cf but it doesnt flex to much more than fiberglass before it cracks, i like the materials that can bend alot for obvious reasons but the raven and invader are just style names

i have a body shop that owes me a favor so im looking to get one because paint and installation is free pretty much

 

well the first kit you posted is the Veilside bumper... I think that all of those bumpers are fiberglass no matter what

 

From one fellow WV'er to another, I would still stick to authentic. I've ordered stuff from those sites before (andysautosports/mrbodykit.com) and I dont think the 8 deserves skimping on the kit. Search for quality of these kits online and compare. The duraflex looks promising but still do the research before you plump down that kinda change.

 

raven and invader are probably extreme dimension kits, horrible fitment, horrible quality, and absolute **** for customer service. There's no reason or excuse to skimp on a body kit, even if you save a few bucks you'll make up for it in labor and aggravation from wherever you take it trying to make it fit right etc. As far as bodykits go, go real or don't bother, you'll be glad you did and your car will look the bidness, going fake just tells the world you're too cheap to do it right, and you're modding your car for all the wrong reasons. I hear people all the time saying "I can't afford the real stuff" and I just look at them like they're nuts, if you can afford a replica, you can afford a real kit too, it just might take more disicpline and a litte longer to save up the difference, but it's totally possible and 1000% worth it in the long run.

 

do you have high res pics of your car anywhere?

 

The matton Mazdaspeed material is pretty weak.

 

yea thats what im tying to figure out , is where to get the real kit thats are going to be worth my time and money,...and worth my 8........i need some sites for browsing that is a lajit and good quality site

nope, disagree completely.

 

why is this in the classifieds section?...duraflex, extreme dimensions, ebay, raven, invader are all **** kits....i dont care who tells you otherwise....you are more than welcome to click the link in my sig to see if i know what im talking about on body kits....this has been discussed to death and people should know by now.....simply you get what you pay for

 

And then of course there's AutoExe for whom we are the cheif supplier on this forum with the cheapest prices available. There is a BRAND NEW kit called SE-03C for the revised RX8 (09 in the US). There is a version of this kit also available for the original car. Right now there aren't any pics of that one up. This is probably the sharpest thing out there in my biased opinion.

Here's a peak on AutoExe's site. I'll have pics and prices on my site soon.

Here's the SE-03 kit on my site (Not the same as SE-03C) on my site:

FWIW I believe someone posted pics of the new kit for the 09's. No idea where but I imagine a quick search for the model number will turn it up.

 

Here's one image. Hope you enjoy:

^^^ that looks pretty darn sexy

 

Chris, you should understand that some products are hyped and some are hated. Look at everyone who has a S2000 or a 350Z - they hate RX-8s and yet many of those people have either never driven one or never owned one. Some people don't even like Mazda cars period because they are just that - a Mazda.

I hope people will take your remarks with a grain of salt, it's ignorant of you to assume all kits are **** unless you buy them directly from Mazdaspeed or a ridiculously expensive place. You don't know my body kit, and you don't know how it fits, and you don't know how it looks in person at all. My kit is a low cost kit that looks great, fits perfect and is durable - so we clearly have different meanings for **** and you clearly have no room to speaking having never seen my kit. It's in your best interest, so that you do not sound so ignorant, to speak on behalf of only those products you've actually installed on your car - and you haven't installed my particular Duraflex kit so I would suggest you not categorize them with low end, crappy kits.. it really doesn't make you look smart & it doesn't help people to read a review from someone who doesn't have the product.

I understand you want to help steer people away from getting ripped off on a low end kit & I understand you've been on the forums for a long time, but it doesn't benefit anyone to make an assumption about a product and state it as if you are 100% sure that what you say is true.

 

Is it really that much differant than the stock bumper?

Can you post two pics. side by side?
