Thanks! Unfortunately, it took about 3 months to get the kit. It can be ordered through Speed Alliance http://www.speedalliance.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=SA&Category_Code=lang_mazda or mazdaparts.com.

The trunk is stock with the Vertex rear lip spoiler. It might look a little different because I had the emblems removed. :)

best looking black.. hmmm i shall be the best!! dun dun dunnnn jk. he's got the upper hand.. haha

Naaah... I haven't seen Sam's car yet so I won't say anything! All I know is that his car is slammed with some nice coil-overs! hahaha

Wow dude. :D

... wow :eek:
more pics of the spoiler please :D

Very nice.. I think it looks better than the Vertex White RX-8... Flows better with the Black. :P

Exhaust... what is that now? A new HKS tip exhaust? Those tips look huge... hope they don't do anything to the rear!

Exhaust... what is that now? A new HKS tip exhaust? Those tips look huge... hope they don't do anything to the rear!

the stock exhaust tips were a little underhung and were almost touching the inside of the bumper. So he changed the tips out for some HKS Titanium tips. The fit now is perfect. Looks bad ass! Wish I can get some ti tips! (hint hint)

That´s one seriously good looking 8!!! Excellent choice imo.

Mike

The car looks TIGHT!!!!!!!!!

Now it makes me want a kit. :) :) :) :) :)

It looks great.

One question... is this kit made of fiberglass or urethane?

It looks great.

One question... is this kit made of fiberglass or urethane?

his kit is made of FRP.. Japanese fiberglass...

his kit is made of FRP.. Japanese fiberglass...
Thanks... bummer. Another candidate is out then.
Sigh... I really like the way this one looks though.

don't be so dissapointed, japanese fiberglass are higher quality and way more flexible than the cheap fiberglass you've seen on civics.

Fucking Gorgeous ~!

I need to change my pants.




-again

That's one sick 8

don't be so dissapointed, japanese fiberglass are higher quality and way more flexible than the cheap fiberglass you've seen on civics.It's still fiberglass. For me, that equals no-no.

Looking good! ;)

PS...here's the quickie sig

Thanks Will! :)

... wow :eek:
more pics of the spoiler please :D

Here are a couple a bad pics I just took, but it should be good enough to get an idea:

dam that wing is sick!!

i like that spoiler.

how does the lip mount, tape? any fitment issues with the overlap of the lip onto the fender area?

are you talking about the front? There is no lip. The kit consists of a entire front bumper, rear bumper, sideskirts and wing....

the wing is clean. i likee i likeee

If I had a black '8 & could do it all over again, that's what it'd look like! Sweet!

A different look at what this kit can look like. Custom Foglight kit I wired myself. FE3P Nice looking 8, great taste in color and kit

After seeing your car, I knew I made the right choice! :)

Thanks again for the license plate bracket info. I ended up doing it a little different, but thanks nevertheless!

I hadn't seen your car in almost a year.
The car looks even better in person!!!!
Nice job!!!!!!!

F.I. Next?????????????????

hey FE3P are those pictures taken by the metro station next to Home Depot on 182nd? I am from north Torrance

vegeta,

your dam right..Gardena Represent!

Damn, that's the best looking body kit I've seen to date!

its been awhile since i've been on here. looks like missed out on the debute the kit on your car. never the less... same thing i said before when your car had stock body, that thing is f*cking beautiful but its even better. the best black 8 on the forum hands down.

why dont you just do 100% financing? that way you can keep your car and depending on your credit, your payments arent going to be as high as most people think.

denward

those LE37's would kick ass on my 8..hehehehehe

Pictures do not do this car justice.

Some of us caravan'd to SS8 together and all I can say is: :bowdown:

Mike: You still thinking about FI?

how much did you spend on your BODY kit ? and painting

how much did you spend on your BODY kit ? and painting
Paint, fitment & installation came out to about $1200. It would have been about $450 less if I didn't have to get the holes for my factory wing and rear emblems welded & filled. I'm pretty sure that I could have gotten the work done cheaper, but I'm very picky about qualilty when it comes to my car.

The kit itself sells for about $2200 http://www.vertexaerokits.com/langrx8.htm .

FE3P, im glad u did everything right the first time. It should always be done this way...quality first!

Congratulations to FE3P for getting your picture in the newest issue of Super street..page 46..haha

Someone scan the magazine and post it!

Trust me... it's not worth scanning a 1"x2" picture! hahaha

See what you started Bryan! LOL

hahahah...i know i know..i had to do it! hahaha

Is Your Car Black Swift?

:Eyecrazy: Can't wait!

yes sir

then i've seen your car before...pretty sick bro....want to caravan with us to 7 stock? we have 50+ rx8's showing up. we are meeting up in cerritos:

http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=93391&page=1

just add yourself to the list!

I'm on the list already........i'll see you there!!

oh sweet..that list is too big now!

That is honestly one of the best looking RX-8's I think I have ever seen. The body kit is not "over-the-top" and there isn't a big shit wing on the back of it. I LOVE the spoiler lip and the black on black wheels... the clear corners look sweet on the bb rx-8 also. Good job man, good job.

what do you guys think about this kit in silver though...black always seems to be more forgiving for any kit...but lighter color shows all the lines. i gotta decide on this or mazdaspeed :)

where can i get this kit? I live in s. Cali...LA area... help me peeps!
