Not bad- the front eliminates that "anime" look of the stock 8, and the rear looks good too

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.

That's not bad at all. Don't like the canards, but that's just me. Anyway, what's the kit made of?

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.

The kit is FRP, the canards come in both FRP and Carbon Fiber.

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.

Uhhh front is way too angular ... almost like a 80's sedan. Back end looks alright.

Hmm, the back looks quite similar to an F430 rear, with the diffuser and exhaust placement.

I like the back alot.

^^^ 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)

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.

i wonder how the rear would look with just a single outlet exhaust :confused:

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?

Nice lines, the front looks like a toned down viper though.

I like the back end, excentuates nicely. :cool:

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.

Yes, but the Kenstyle kit was deffinatly not "Best of Show".

All a matter of opinion of course.

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.

I like the rear. The front looks like a typical Civic ricer bodykit.

Bindon

Would you have to get a custom fabbed exhaust to fit the rear??

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.

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.

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.
