i spotted another so a thread needed to be made. ;) All Buddy Club items are fair game. Body kits, rims, grounding kit, etc. My car is currently in the body shop, but after it comes out, i promise much better pics. Before the year is out! And i cant believe my front bumper already needs a repaint. its only been 5 months. i really should have clearbra'd it like my last bumper. :/

Ok I'm in need of a new front bumper because mine is beyond repair due to a minor accident in the driveway.

Anyways I'm thinking of switching to buddyclub, is raceroots the best place to buy it? (600 dollars and they do free shipping with anything over 100 dollars)

Nice pics i really like the front bumper and sides of the kit, not to crazy about the rear , those rims are hottest i seen . Awesome cars guys....

im pretty sure bulk items are excluded from shipping. i got mine at raceroots. raceroots is +1 by me.

Awesome pic Kersh!

Good pic Kersh, def makes me want to go with the buddy club

I hate it but then I love it. I'm conflicted.

its presence cannot be denied. :)

its presence cannot be denied. :)

I agree I can only imagine it with a FMIC!

I'm kinda like the BC front end. Does the back end come with that grill or no? can you not use fog lights with it?

only thing I'm not keen on yet is the little flippy wings on the ends of the front.

It definitely has a presence.

That front bumper is begging for a turbo

The Fabulous rear would look good with that.

it looks like the FMIC will have to wait a while, it looks like i have a serious buyer for my turbo kit.

i need a few things first. more knowledge on turbos and a proper gauge set up.

Good photo's

1 of my fav front bumper..

I just got all mine installed and setup. Decided to take some photos today. I love the buddy club kit. Wasn't sure of it at first, but I love it after I see it when its all said and done.

I don't like the grill, so that is coming out tonight. I think I will add the stealth corners too. May have to think about that one.

2 questions... I am looking at getting a body kit for my 8 that i just bought. There are a couple in the mix and the Buddy Club full kit is one of them. First I want to know if I can use the stock exhaust with this kit. And second I would like to know where you guys got your kits and how much they cost you.

Yes the stock exhaust will work

And I know a couple got them at raceroots, IDK about the others

I think I saw one guy in this thread with fog lights, wondering if anyone else has gone through the process of remounting fog lights with this kit and if they could tell me about their experience or if someone has an alternative that would be greatly appreciated.

I want the buddy club front end and possibly the sideskirts with a c-west booty :naughty: and a mazdaspeed or replica wing(if i can find one of good quality). I don't want to lose my fog lights though. That's the plan so far...it will more than likely change.......prolly by tomorrow. :doh: I'm so torn when it comes to the body. I do prefer a more sleeker look than an agressive one. Maybe cause I'm getting older. :suspect:

Time to join this thread....only have one pic and dont say a word about my dirty ass car :lol:...seriously....


Havent cut or buffed the bumper yet, will have to wait till I get a few more days off. Either way I think overall my paint job on it came out pretty good, Not a lot of orange peel at all and just a few dust spots that need cut/buffed out.

Ill be posting a free for sale thread soon for my old bumper, it was hit by a dear carcass and needs some tlc but still holds its overall shape.

Buddy Club does not fit the lines of the rx8 at all. It is too cheap looking and boxy..

glad you like it

^read the whole post lol

I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, just stating my honest opinion. I think your old bumper looks better, especially if you painted the mesh black.

mscamp, what did you do with your old autoexe style Shine bumper?

anyone who wants it can come and pick it up out of my truck that is sitting outside. It needs some rebuilding but is not in terrible shape. There is a chunk of fiberglass missing on the underside as well as a few breaks in the front.

The bumper still holds its shape perfectly but needs some new fiberglass work and some metal bracing on the back. Its nothing to hard I'm just done fooling with it considering this makes the third, or maybe fourth time there has been some damage to this bumper, I think its a magnet for bad things to happen :lol:

But I can show whoever what to do to repair it, Its something a hobbyist can do in their personal garage without any major tools, its just labor intensive and time consuming, and honestly will only cost between 20-40 dollars if you do it yourself (minus paint of course)

Its sitting in old primer gray right now. It also has a few micro cracks across the bumper towards the sides.

Oh and its the only one that has its side markers fiberglassed in solid which are still intact and perfectly fine.

I know, lots of people hate it so its no big deal. I didnt really like the tsunami that was is in my sig which is why I only had it for a few months (hated it after a few weeks). Hell maybe Ill switch off the buddy club later on if I end up not liking after time.

The shine autoexe has taken a beating and needs some tlc I no longer want to give to it because for me the damn thing is cursed, its a horrible magnet for bad things to happen.

I actually tried to get a vertex lang kit that was supposed to be here in the US, I already talked to the vendor and they said they had it, placed the order (800 plus shipping) got a call 2 weeks later saying they had to order it from japan because it went to someone else and would cost another 200 for shipping plus the wait. So pissed off I requested my money back and ordered a buddy club because my bumper was busted and I needed one quicker.

mscamp if you got the shine front ill pay shipping to 33433 for it. and a small price to you as well, I have a body shop and i would love to fix it up!
