MP3Guy 01-02-2006, 04:53 PM Not bad- the front eliminates that "anime" look of the stock 8, and the rear looks good too
NgoRX8 01-02-2006, 04:57 PM I don't like the front, looks like it lost all its curves. But the rear is nice.

The rear is my favorite part....the integrated rear diffuser is very clean and the design of the bumper itself is very original and classy.
Im_DANomite 01-02-2006, 05:26 PM isn't that basically the INGS kit with Fabulous rear?
AlexCisneros 01-02-2006, 05:32 PM any chance you can get the fenders for the "new mazdaspeed" kit?
Tamas 01-02-2006, 05:45 PM The front is ugly. The rear is okay.

Omicron 01-02-2006, 06:04 PM That's not bad at all. Don't like the canards, but that's just me. Anyway, what's the kit made of?
moRotorMotor 01-02-2006, 06:09 PM I agree with most people here. The rear is sexy, but you would almost have to get two twin pipes to fill the exhaust holes nicely.
allmotorRX8 01-02-2006, 06:14 PM not bad, nice dual dualies
BulletproofAuto 01-02-2006, 06:17 PM That's not bad at all. Don't like the canards, but that's just me. Anyway, what's the kit made of?
The kit is FRP, the canards come in both FRP and Carbon Fiber.
TRU681 01-02-2006, 08:29 PM The front kinda reminds me of the Eclipse front bumper & that's not good. Only thing I kinda like is the rear because it looks kinda unique in a way.
Mugatu 01-02-2006, 09:13 PM not a fan
SSJ 909 01-02-2006, 11:36 PM looks ugly front and back
BlueFrenzy 01-03-2006, 12:57 AM Uhhh front is way too angular ... almost like a 80's sedan. Back end looks alright.
kenstyle for g35 is awesome. but not for 8
Bindon 01-03-2006, 11:54 AM Hmm, the back looks quite similar to an F430 rear, with the diffuser and exhaust placement.
I like the back alot.
Mikelikes2drive 01-03-2006, 01:06 PM ^^^ i was gonna say the same thing about the rear looking like a f430...
the front though :/ looks more like an old evo (probablydoesnt but reminds me of one)
XDEEDUBBX 01-03-2006, 01:49 PM yea its nasty
truemagellen 01-03-2006, 02:23 PM the front is crap
the rear means heavy dual tips...hmmmmmm
they should jus give up on this tho. its bad period
Moostafa29 01-03-2006, 03:57 PM The rear is pretty sick. I think they should pay INGS for taking their design. Although not an exact copy, they look a little too much alike.
Mikelikes2drive 01-03-2006, 05:33 PM i wonder how the rear would look with just a single outlet exhaust :confused:
IZoomZoomI 01-04-2006, 12:27 AM gross...although I have to agree the rear is nice. I like the varis rear valence too.
RX8 Brunei 01-04-2006, 12:59 AM fugly front bumper. but hey!! i love the rear bumper.
\\Konig\\ 01-04-2006, 01:15 AM Someone should try to photoshop the rear with a single exhaust instead of a dual one. The rear looks real nice.
And I'm assuming the sideskirts are part of the kit right?
DOMINION 01-04-2006, 01:46 AM \\Konig\\ (file:///Konig/), best I could fond was Fabulous rear
4 years to Supercharge 01-04-2006, 02:11 AM Nice lines, the front looks like a toned down viper though.
I like the back end, excentuates nicely. :cool:
rx8spiritR 01-05-2006, 05:54 AM let me know if you have the new mazdaspeed concept kit (the blue one with wide fender)
i'll be more interested in that one

Umbra 01-06-2006, 09:07 AM Not sure what they were thinking when they did that awful front end
Dagious 01-06-2006, 02:41 PM That front facia is FUGLY. the rear is okay
crimson-rain 01-06-2006, 03:19 PM not feeling the front.
mikeb 01-07-2006, 04:45 AM I love that rear
any more pics
mcain 01-16-2006, 03:26 AM The rear does it for me. Any news on if you will be selling the exhaust? If so, i'd probably be down for the rear & exhaust.
Anyone have any ideas on mixing & matching with different front/side skirts that would flow well? I love this rear.
9-K Rever 01-16-2006, 04:41 AM I love that rear

Yes, but the Kenstyle kit was deffinatly not "Best of Show".
All a matter of opinion of course.

Mazdaspeed RX8 ver2 01-16-2006, 05:45 AM The front is alright, not a big fan of it, rear is good, not greatly feeling it but it looks alright. Like spirit r said, i like the concept mazdaspeed kit better but i mean this is an alright kit, something new in the scene.
Xyntax 01-16-2006, 02:28 PM I like the rear. The front looks like a typical Civic ricer bodykit.
Bindon 01-23-2006, 02:27 PM Would you have to get a custom fabbed exhaust to fit the rear??
BaronVonBigmeat 01-24-2006, 09:52 AM The front reminds me of a Porsche for some reason, but not in a good way.
I like the back though. It bears some resemblance to a F430 as others have said. You know what would look hot? This rear + the AutoBahn front, for a full-on Ferrari look. I was mildly disappointed by the autobahn rear when photos came out; it's not very different than stock and it doesn't carry the Ferrari feel as well as the front.
StealthFox 02-15-2006, 11:15 PM baron when this kit came out i was thinking that EXACT same thing this rear with the auto bahn front would give you that modern ferrari look.
WarmFreedom 08-07-2007, 11:13 AM the front is ugly, and the back is not that good either, it just makes it ok when compared to the front.
the rear has the words, "f430 immitation" written all over it.
