yeah thats exactly how i feel too... :o

Im looking for a bodykit.... but my budget wouldnt allow me to get a JDM kit like Autoexe or INGS etc....

So im looking at various replica kits or whatnot and the Carisma kit is within my budget... but i dont think its real high on the WOW factor but at the same time its not bad... so i dont know.... this is so frustrating..lol

i thought long and hard about the AeroWerks kit... which on few occasions i already had the credit card out ready to make the call.... but each time i held back because it seems like everyone has the MS or MS style kit nowadays...

Sorry if I'm two months too late to be saying this, but I'm a big fan of the Carisma Air Force One kit. The side skirts have a beautiful line - with no stupid meaningless vents - and the rear spoiler emphasises the RX8's sleek lines while taking away a little of the chunky look that some kits bring out in the 8. As far as the nose goes, I prefer RE Amemiya - especially for the fog lights - but Carisma comes a close second with daylight third!
Eventually I hope to combine Carisma and RE Amemiya for what I consider to be the ultimate RX8 kit, but if I had to commit to just one whole kit by one manufacturer, I reckon I'd probably have to go with Air Force One.
MS is better than no kit, but Carisma is so much better!

I like the kit and have seen there car in person a couple of times
but it makes the rx8 look less expensive or not as nice IMO

Kinda hard to individualise your rx8 when the civic and the integra next to you at the lights is sporting the same front end look, don't you think?

I haven't seen Air Force One in person - would love to, but haven't - so I'm surprised to hear that it looks less expensive, but if what you say is true, then why would anyone spend money to make their car look cheaper?!? (and is this why nobody else is using their kit?)
My only gripe with the stock RX8 is that it looks too tame - especially from the front - so it needs a kit to look aggressive, and too many kits just look stupid to me. I think that having no kit makes the car look cheap.
Maybe I just need to get out more...

No, I don't think. But maybe that's coz I haven't seen any civics or integras that even vaguely reminded me of an RX8.
Again, maybe I just need to get out more...
