zany. i cannot imagine ever needing THAT much ducting, although it looks pretty sweet. ricey, with the silly 2/3rd's splitter, and ungodly (unecissarily) huge oil-cooler/brake ducts, but the lower and more pronounced nose with the sweet blockiness score big points for me. :)

looks just like the mazdaspeed one...tho more edgy and less curvy. the size of the holes look as big as the mazdaspeed one too.

Looks boxy... throws off the curves of the 8.

seems a bit too vertically flat to fit on an rx8. it just...doesn't it would plain ever fit on an 8. would want to see on car pic before deciding.

I agree wiv you 110%...
The rx8 like the rx7 has lots of curves and that bodykit would just ruin the lines of the 8. And on top of that, it looks damn HUGE!! I really dont want to see it on the 8... i have a pretty good imagination on how it would look!! just like a jet fighter... :D

that thing looks like a mighty morphin transformer or something ... whoa there

Strider

07-14-2003, 12:15 AM

I think that it looks ok (keyword here), but if the ducts weren't so huge then it would look quite a bit better on the car.

As for the wing... no... that thing's got to go.

i still say i like the concept behind the look... oil coolers are now, even moreso than before, obviously WAY THE F*CK TOO BIG for this thing, but i do still like some of the lines...

with regards to that wing, trust me when i say you can do worse... the aluminum pillars are ugly as hell, but the aerofoil is pretty nice, the AOA isn't all that stupid (needs reduction), and the endplates aren't too functionless (needs quite a bit more on the high-pressure side)... but ugly?? oh hell yeah... and too high, waaaay too high, have the proportions all wrong...

I'm sorry, but that is just hideous.

RX8Lover

10-11-2003, 10:38 PM

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. How anyone can think that looks good beyond me. And that wing looks like it was homemade.

The designer should be shot on sight, and anyone ricing their car up with it should be killed immediately.

Every one has there tastes. I'd like to see you design and produce something like that.

Looks good IMO

MSMAMBA

10-12-2003, 11:27 AM

The look is not too bad at all. It needs a matching set of side and rear kit.

Personally, I prefer the R-magic kit over others (MS, Autoexe, or RE Amemiya).

Don't you guys think it is a bit imbalanced if only have the front bumper but no sides... like the ones in few posts ago?

mikeb

10-13-2003, 01:44 PM

yes,
I think if you get a bodykit and whole kit is best
or even mix and match like r magic front and ms sides but none the less the whole kit IMO is best

wakeech

10-28-2003, 12:09 PM

someone post a barfing smiley for me... the front is still cool in a weird way, but the back is just terrible, and doesn't hold with the theme of the car at all... also, the height of the wing columns seems obviously too-high to me, not to mention that horrific rear "drop" :rolleyes:...

mikeb

10-28-2003, 03:47 PM

I like the rear
those sides are sweet too

the front is too bigg imo

m0j0

10-28-2003, 10:28 PM

i sorta like the front coz it looks ok but in a different way it will look sweet wth a phat FMIC in there

mikeb

10-29-2003, 04:23 PM

mojo is right
a huge intercooler in the front would be sweet

sup3rbad

10-29-2003, 04:26 PM

i think the back contradicts the solid lines of the front. the earlier pictures made it look like they were going for a jet look. looks decent from the sides though.

In my opinion it's completely ridiculous and looks cheap. What's the point of spending $30 on a car to do that to it? Whatever happened to understated style, which is what the RX-8 is all about if you ask me? This kind of thing just smacks of trying to compensate for something if you know what I mean...

Sad, just sad ;-(

got 8

10-31-2003, 09:03 PM

I think that is the best looking 8 ever moded.
it has a highly moded look make you think what could be in those airdam.
I love that rear wing.
I also think it s at a taste level waybeyond us.
its a look you would only see in serious race car not sports car.
am i making sense her,

Spyder_doo

09-23-2004, 01:45 PM

that front doesn't look like it belongs on an 8. :confused: It looks like a new celica if you ask me.

truemagellen

09-23-2004, 10:51 PM

Also, the back bumper looks the kind of tupperware I'd expect to see on a 10-year old Pontiac.

I don't even know why people bother to post this stuff on this site.. seriously, if it's not MS or MB it's horrible! I think it's neat because it's different. Too many folks' on this site have EXACTLY the same car... I didn't buy this car to have it look like all of the rest of them, nor perform like all the rest of them. Lots of people have said "this isn't some 12k ricer car, this car is for adults, you shouldn't ruin it".. man.. I'm sorry, but not all of us are 40+ yrs old, some of us like more agressive styling, and LOTS of us like modifying things.. I think the stock form was a great start, but I do NOT think it's the end-all be-all _FOR ME_.. if it is for you, super.. I'm not going to be negative with you.. but I think all of you screaming "RICE!!!" need to realize how "ricey" the rx8 comes stock.. it's SCREAMS JDM styling and lines.. I'm sure plenty of folks are going to spend decent money making their civics and crx's look "rx8ey".. so who cares?

That said, I think the back looks infinitely better than the front :)

front and rear doesnt match :(
front too sharp while the rear too soft :p

11-03-2004, 12:55 AM

webba_az i totally agree with u...
i'm reallly sick of hearing some people's comment... i mean its cool that u dont' like the kits...
no one tell u to buy it... so stop the imature bashing on products that YOU don't like...
NRF are known to produce mostly more professional track racing products...

i personally like the front for some reason... and the side skirt... but not the back though!

xSxxKxxYx

11-03-2004, 12:58 AM

btw... anyone know if NRF will actually import these kits here??

it might be good for track use.... after turbos have come out... HUGE opening good for intercoolers!!!

12-29-2004, 11:49 AM

im starting to like it more and more
everytime someone says a stupid comment on the kit :)
to each there own

but both rear peices im not thrilled on.
i still i like the ms front end though.

canaryrx8

12-29-2004, 12:24 PM

saw this a long time ago and still can't get used to it, to me it looks unfinished. It's like they had a good idea with the front but they couldn't execute for some reason, that large front opening makes the car look like it is missing parts. I'd be willing to bet anyone that if you threw that kit on a car unpainted you would have people all over the place wondering "when are you going to put the rest of the front end back on". :D

Hmmm....separated at birth?

I think the creeper is prettier.

And the front bumper, see the "Lockheed" decal? It clearly belongs on the back wing.

Also, the back bumper looks the kind of tupperware I'd expect to see on a 10-year old Pontiac.

the front is too much IMO
maybe the front could be ok with a widebody and huge rims but not with those sides and rear

the sides everyone makes for the rx8 are so plain

the rear is ok but to small or not enough
