Here is a montage of all the Body kits for the RX-8 that I made thanks to the research of miata35. Its good to see them next to each other for a good comparison. I know that it only shows the front 1/4 view, but this was the easiest way to show them all. Sorry the pic cant be bigger, but its as large as it can be for a post. I can send the original file if someone wants to host it.

I still like Mazdaspeeds only because it's minimal, yet enhances the natural appearence of the 8. I don't want it to look like a tacky Rice rocket.

Stangkilla - Nice work!! Thank for the montage. I'm a stock Appearance Package guy myself. If I had to choose though it would be either MazdaSpeed or R Magic. I feel they both add character w/o going over the edge. That Yellow 'R Magic' 8 is my desktop wallpaper at work. That pic is sweet, IMO!!

Man Stangkiller, you are DA MAN when it comes to making these montages! First the one for exhausts, now this one for body kits! You ROCK dude. I am adding this montage of yours to the "All body kits" summary, here (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13713).

I love the r-magic one with the lip and full sideskirts. looks great. BTW, great job on the pictures, i like seeing them all together, its easier to see which ones are nice comapred to the others.

i LOVE Run Racing's rear diffuser...the wing is pretty cool too butt that diffuser is the best one IMO

if i were to mix and match it go

RE-Amemiya front bumper
Factory aeros
Run Racing rear diffuser
Mazdaspeed Spoiler

if you can put all those together on a black car, i'll call you God for a week!

No problem...Its much easier than clicking on 20 links and trying to remember which ones you liked the most. A side by side comparison is always best.
Here is a revision with the Rotary Extreme kit. The X-men kit had to go.

the Rotary Extreme kit is a replica of the Mazdaspeed one, no? in any case, good job! the XMen kit was cool except for the wing...i really want those metallic inserts on the front bumper from that kit, otherwise everything is Appearance Package parts

I think you may be right about the Rotary Extreme kit. Except for the Mesh inserts in the grill. Oh well

Stangkilla - Domo Arigatogozaimasu! (Thank you VERY much). I'd been looking all over for something like this. NOt sure if I will go aftermarket, but I appreciate having many choices together in one montage.

Mazdaspeed/RE, AutoEXE, and BuddyClub (?) look good.

The rest look like they were sculpted by Ray Charles after drinking a half gallon of cough syrup. It's really obvious that Mazda employs professional stylists. I just don't see the appeal of taking a car with lots of smooth, blended curves...and sticking on a bunch of sharply-angled scoop-happy plastic funk. Half the cars there look like they're carrying snow plows, and the Knight Sports looks positively Hitler-iffic.
