Hey, I'm new to the site. Just got an 05 rx8 manual in black. I was going through some different types of body kits and i see this "WANGAN" kit going for 1,600. Though, as i look more in to it I can't find any private owned rx8's wearing this kit so I'm wondering is it some kind of scam or legit?

Well i've never seen that kit before, or even herd of WANGAN. But I must say, It does look pretty good.

Looks like it uses the stock fogs too...This is a great looking front bumper (minus fitment issues). Get it and tell us how it is! I maybe in the market for new bumper...

damn thats pretty hott,,, Iguess $1700 for an entire authentic kit sound about right.... great find
I especially like how the end of the sideskirt curls up havent seen something like that yet...

suspiciously familiar.........

^^^hows that

I want to see the rear. The lower lip on the bumper is what I have been looking for the 8. Also is does not have the big squared off sides on the front bumper like so many kits for the 8.

the rear is at the bottom of the pg

suspiciously familiar.........

what kit are you thinking about? the design is simple and you can see elements from a few kits but then again you can say that about several "original design" kits.

haha...scrolling FTW ;)

this is now my favorite looking bodykit, lol.

+1....

It's a Neo Design bodykit, Wangan is just what they call it.

looks pretty clean. i like it. for a second i though they had fenders flares. haha. darn painted white.

fitment above the clear corner does not look good. surprised they would put a pic like that on their website advertising the kit. not digging the rear either but I bet it would look much better black.

yea, neo design sounded familiar to me, but not wangan. haha.

Oh and btw guys...I'm calling BS on chism's search skillz. Just look at the similar threads below. VVVVVV :lol2:

HAHAHA, no one ever looks that those!

Wangan sounds like a chinese porno movie.

But the kit looks pretty good, not sure about the whole 2 tone deal they got going with the black one, but the white ones pretty sexy.

It looks good

HAHAHA, no one ever looks that those!
:lol: I know..I just happened to look down there

U want to Wan a Gan?

poopoo peepee?

Looks like they are finally shipping out of connecticut. Someone hurry and get this kit! Hope they fixed the fitment issues...

rear is awful. front would be great if the grill areas weren't so sharply defined.

i like it actually. maybe because it is something different.

i didnt even realise they were down there.....no one looks at those!

Wangan is a series of highways in Japan famous for once being used by the Midnight Club for street racing. Midnight Club is gone, disbanded after they were attacked by the Bosozoku (biker gangs), but people still use the highway to test their tuned cars. RE-Amemiya's Amemiya-san himself is known to have tuned his white RX-8 there.

looks like it's available

looks good.

so, anybody know someone with this wangan bodykit ?

I need to find some advice, but I really do not like the rear bumper !

SOMEONE CONTACT THEm FOR A GROUP BUY...

Ok, so I sent them an email an asked if we can order only some parts, (like only the front or rear bumper).

I am waiting for the answer and I'll ask for a group by !

I doubt it because they also they also said that this kit was limited on their website....read the website again, but MONEY talks so who knows,

I browsed the website, and you can indeed buy the parts individually for this kit. I like the front and rear a lot, but as some people already mentioned, I'm not quite sure my exhaust would fit properly in those apertures.
at $1600 + shipping it's not a bad price.

yes, a limited edition, but I think they didn't sell a lot :eyetwitch
or else we would be able to find at least 1 picture of an rx with the kit...
Or you can look everywhere... you'll only found the photoshop picts...

I got a bunch of pictures with the kit installed on a RX-8, and yes you can buy the parts individually. Here is one HQ picture of the kit installed on a Winning Blue RX-8.
