So there she is......

Looks real nice, who manufactures that kit? And where did you buy from?

very nice indeed :)

what does it say on your front bumper though?

all i have is the front nose and side skirts, they are all OEM Mazda parts, its just the mazdaspeed body kit, I got them from Rosenthal mazda, they are a vendor on this site.

The figures posted about half way up are on the dash.

the nose of the bumper says "Yeah, It's Got A Hemi" inside joke, its off for the moment though, Ill post more pictures from our photoshoot in tampa later.

Very Nice dude! So are you sticking with the primer'd hood for sure? It looks pretty good.

Nice car bud. Nice fogs too.

Very Nice dude! So are you sticking with the primer'd hood for sure? It looks pretty good.

Thanks everyone, no im not sticking with the black satin primer. I have decided that I am going to do the center rotor shape in body match silver, and the rest of the hood in the black clearcoat like the black rx8. I just have to make the time to pop the hood off and take it to the shop to get painted, Im going to try to get it done by the end of the year.

Next I gotta order my MS rear.

thanks everyone, I know its pretty plain/borring with the MS kit, but I love the look and Im one of those 'JDM fools' :kiss:

Soooooooo hot...My car is in one of those!!!!!!!! :kiss:

ooo an original mazdaspeed kit..it's hella exspensive.

when you install it...is any drilling required?

Those night pictures are cool and evil looking. :biggthump

I know the mazdaspeed kit isnt original, and some would say its 'played out' but I just love the looks of it, and how much it transforms the car. I think its the way the car should come from the factory.

The front nose was a direct bolt on, but to mount the stock foglights in it you have to get the brackets, they require you drill 3 holes for each fog light, and cut the grill and duck around the oil coolers (not to hard). The side-skirts require you drill 8 holes for each skirt, 4 on the side, 4 under the car, you also have to cut the rock guard under the car and affix some clips to the back fender area (not hard, but you just have to be pretty exact with the drill.

Next up is the rear diffuser and wing, stay tuned.

JDM is definately the only way to go with these cars

very nice! im lovvin it

did i hear right? ur hoods primer'd? not cf?

his hood is cf
nice car man
whats next

"quote" Very Nice dude! So are you sticking with the primer'd hood for sure? It looks pretty good.

cool thanks for the info :) i am always weary of drilling hoels in my baby...haha mostly b/c it's a lill hard to fix once you drill in the wrong place ... btu i guess this is where teh whoel measure twice cut once mantra comes into effect :)

again....the car looks great

lazi
i guess you are right
thats odd

Don't pay them internet jockeys who say it is played out any mind.

To be honest, there may be dozens of pics of the Mazdaspeed kit on the net and hundreds of threads on forums mentioning the kit (because it looks so sweet), and after a while it does get mind numbing.

But get off the computer and try to remember how many Mazdaspeed 8's have you see in real life rolling on everyday streets and highways? Rarely to never.

You're doing a great job with the kit and although they are in a different class, Ferrari 360 Modena's, 911 TT's, and Mercedes SL55's are more played out than a Mazdaspeed 8 on the public roads.

Keep up the tight work

thanks, and again the hood is just primer black right now, I plan to paint it gloss black and paint the center rotor shape body match silver, and then clear coat the whole thing.

damn it, again on my GF screen name, this is KYLiquid

he fools alot of people with that primer colored hood..hahah

^ yup, you wouldn't know it was primer'd if you didn't read his other thread or see my post.

It looks pretty good as primer'd on his car.

JDM is definately the only way to go with these cars

no kidding man you've got an insane amount of jdm stuff :Freak_ani

probably not as much as mine when im done muahaha

oh and KY are you going for that new stylish bare primer/flat black drifter thing now ;D

i cant stand seeing people drive around cars that are primered it just looks really incomplete to me but your car looks real clean though aside from that haha post pics when you get your ms wing and rear bumper

I will post more pictures as progress continues, so far the car has been at the dealer getting a new enginer (106xx miles) when I get it back (wen/thur of this week) i am going to finish shaving the badges on the rear and get the gloss black/silver paint on the hood.

That will be all for now cause I have to put most of my money to xmas for friends/family. After the new year it will be ms rear diffuser THEN ms wing.

no kidding man you've got an insane amount of jdm stuff :Freak_ani

I do enjoy the fun/crazy JDM stuff, I just spent 100 on decals I ordered from a guy in japan on the phone....i dont even wanna know what thats going to cost me (for the call on my cell phone) but he called when I was in the car and I wanted to get it done.

Anyway now Ive got about 40 stickers coming, and I have no idea what to do with all of them, some are just the JDM version of out airbag warning stickers and stuff like that. Others are drifting related, or togue, or rotary, ect.

Ill post up some pictures when they get here in a few weeks.

o heheh i was talkin about veilside's parts but i could have said the same about you too haha.

so are a lot of these stickers just replacements for the north america issued stickers that come on the cars? that would be pretty sweet to have all of the warning stickers in japanese. now all you need is a rhd conversion ha :mdrmed:

I got you one of these Geoff...you like JDM stuff...why not a poopie hat?

http://images.jlist.com/d6/unchi_yd88.jpg

so JDM.

wow. thats oozing with jdm.


its even from j-list.

and its pictured with a j-dude.

and its got a j-stamp at the lower left-hand corner.

Its a Mazdaspeed Banner, vynil, to hang up. My girlfriend got it for me, and I happened to have it in the car, I plan on hanging it on the wall in my garage, when I get a chance.

the body kit looks rice? I am thinking sarcasm here, but you never know. Its all OEM Mazdaspeed parts, from mazda, its the copetition aero kit. Anyway I love it, thats whats important.

...getting the MS b-pillars and side mirrors too?

yeah, in due time, I want to get that stuff, the parts are pricey so its kinda part by part at the moment.

totally feel you, MS parts are nice but pricey, i'll be doing the same thing, part by part.

I was just being silly- er um- sarcasm. I like yor car, but just because it is factory doesn't mean it isn't ricy. Remember the Celica with the 'action package'?

http://i21.ebayimg.com/03/i/05/6f/a6/a6_12.JPG

is that ricy?



and I already admitted to being stupid on the mazdaspeed sticker thingy.

I don't really understand what's JDM about it except for purposefully trying to be ricey? The body kit I can accept it is "jdm" just because it is a Mazdaspeed product, and the turn signa;s I can too because they are stock on the Japanese rx8, but past that I don't get what you mean. Oh well, if you like it that's all that matters.

hi im new to the forums. I love teh rx-8, and yes, i gotta admit, the mazdaspeed body kit does look a lil ricey.. but your car looks great. I love it! Ya, when i sell my tibby, im gonna probably buy an rx-8, i just love the curves and the body and crap. But wut really ticks me off is the fact that the ms body kits are so damn expensive, ya know? hoo else thinks that mazda should make a model (lets just call it rx-8 S or something) that already comes standard with all the mazdaspeed parts? wow that was kinda a lengthy post srry ^-^;;

peace

ky,
just saw these.... great shots!!!!!

citywalk?????

beers

Some Mazda dealers sell the RX-8 with the Mazda Speed kit but its way over priced. As for the MS kit looking "ricey" you get :spank: for saying that.

omg... rice... not even close
