Thanks -- those are some great pictures.

I notice at least 3 of the cars have no front badge. I'm thinking of de-badging my (soon to own) black 8, leaving only the RX-8 on the back.

Do you know if the badges are glued on or on posts? How hard was is it to get them off (without marring the paint)?

Thanks,
--Mike
Black GT any day now...

the badges ?
Is it the mark of Mazda Motor?
Since these are the fronts of the Mazda Speed kit, it is not attached the mark of Mazda Motor from the first.

but In the normal front, the hole for attaching a mark is open.

I have not seen it yet.

I used a product called "Touch-Up-Pen" for my tires lettering.
and I changed the tire, when exchanging wheels.
That is "Potenza G3"

Yes, I meant the "mark". I didn't realize the Mazdaspeed kit replaced the entire front piece (actually, I didn't even notice that it was Mazdaspeed.)

Thanks for the info -- too bad about the holes in the standard nose piece, I think it looks very good without the badge, but I wouldn't want to have holes showing.

Look at the third pic of the silver 8. Compare it to the red one below, notice that the rims have been swapped around. I like the original config better.

The red really looks a treat. IMHO the MS kit looks so much better without the wing. Gives it a really sinister look.

EASTMOON: does the MS kit comes pre painted from the factory?

nice pix btw... :D


Oh... and do you have a pix of the red car from the front? i wonder how it would look like wiv those eyebrows on...

The kits come painted. You have to specify the colour when ordering...

Very nice. I really like the Mazdaspeed front. Definitely need side skirts though IMHO. As you can see, it looks kinda weird when you compare the silver car with the red one side by side.

They eyebrows are AWESOME and you can BARELY tell it is a seperate piece. I kept trying to figure why it looked so mean! :)

i like the MS body kit although it doesn't seem right with those little fog lights in there...i'd probably keep them empty...and with that kit you definitely need the wing to add to the back...otherwise it just looks like it's missing something...the side already looks like it's missing the side skirts

those eyebrows are really cool looking, i agree

Hi ! Cihuuy
Yes ...as sixspeed saying. ( thanks sixspeed )
and, when I tried to place an order for another color, the dealer charged another charge.
I canceled it.:D

Japan always gets the nicer version. Those cars are amazing. The ones in North America are nothing like that

if colors that important, more than the car itself, why not get it painted (espeically if you're going to kit it)?? :confused:

colour shouldn't stand in your way of getting the car you want: it's my opinion that almost any car can look good in almost any color, whereas black looks best on anything ;)

edit:just saw your title... it's not available yet, but there are guys in the 'states working to make replicas which probably will be available here... so yes, in time, for sure it will.

one observation about the production mazdaspeed kit, which i love. the black wing-like thing/strake piece/spoiler at the bottom of the front bumper, that flares up like an airplane wing right in front of the wheelwell, is not in the production body kit. that's somewhat disappointing 'cuz i really liked that. reminds me of the front spoiler of the fd.

is the mazdaspeed wing adjustable? seems like it does

thanx for the pix EASTMOON. it's awesome! post more :D
