there have been a few discussions about it on here, but a lot of people took a shit on it. i like it. i think the front end resembles the aston martins and how the back reminds u of the f430. just my take.

Yeah, kinda has that DB7 look to it. I'm not a fan of the canards but I think it would look pretty slick without them. Not a bad price for the kit either...

I'm sold on the Knight Sports front bumper though, I WILL own that piece in the next 6 months...

Yeah I've seen a few pictures of Ngo's rear (why does that sound to forward?). I had seen the pictures of the bronzish looking car but the link above with the red car was new to me. Not sure if it's just the angle of the picture but something about it makes me like the front end a little more. Someone's bound to make the leap of faith one of these days...

Oh it isn't about whether I like it or not. I'm not getting this kit, I'm going with Knight Sports. The rear is pretty sexy though...

I don't like the front. It does look like a DB7 to me also. the back...I don't think I like it either. I geuss I would have to see better pics of it or in person. Does anyone on here have picks with it on their car?

i personally like the kit, the rear is really different compared to most and yet still keeps the rotary accent on the back. Thats the one thing that the mazdaspeed kit lost, was the rotary accents... anyways, i personally like it and its all on your taste. don't give a crap about what other people like, just what you like, its YOUR car and no one elses. if you get this though, kudos!!! i want it....

I kinda like it though I'm curious how far the front nose goes down. Like does it go down far enough to cover up that luvly 5mph bumper gaurd we have so the top half of the mouth isnt well "fake" and cause some annoying areo drag. That and it resembling a DB is a plus since I like some euro-styling. The rear though I dunno I like it but not in love with it, and the side skirts are 'eh so-so.

Front strongly resembles Ings+1. If anything else happens to my kit (God forbid), I'll more than likely buy that front.

After burrowing underground and staring at a language I can't understand I managed to come up with a few more pictures...

The grill is kinda weird looking.

Clavius
09-10-2006, 10:07 PM
Hmm.. starting to like the front more now. Though one the other websites pictures the grill seems to have some stainless steel inserts of some sort to make it stick out more but the pictures of the White 8 are pure black. hmm.. something to ask about when I get the $$$ for a bodykit.

does anyone make a dual tip exhaust like that or do we have to find someone to fabricate it?

09-13-2006, 07:52 PM
actually, i will just be getting the kenstyle exhaust. i'd like to see how it sounds. haha.

the thing is, if i fabricate my own, the inlet piping will have to be moved about two inches inward for quad tips to fit. my rb exhaust as you guys saw is pretty much nearer to the outter corner of the opening.

Kenstyle sells one to go with the kit.

http://www.kenstyle.co.jp/info2.php?id=174

90,300 JPY though... ouch!

More pics of the white car too... check the rear with the rotary accent instead of the fog lamp.

BTW... the whole kit is FRP... fiberglass. And it is also sold at JDM Mazda dealers (as are AutoExe parts and kits).

09-21-2006, 10:54 AM
yup, 90,300 + a crap load on shipping, customs, etc... i might get it. lol

I initially thought it was terrible.... but it looks much better here for some reason, maybe it's the angle, I dunno.. but much better than I thought before.

Tayler
09-21-2006, 05:44 PM
I couldn't stand the color in the first couple pictures I came across but the red and white suit the kit much better. Someone just needs to take the dive so we can get better pictures!

The pics on the Bulletproof site and the pics on the white car here don't even look like the same kit. Looks terrible on the Bulletproof site but hot damn it looks sexy in white. Are we sure this is the identical nose?

Tayler
10-03-2006, 05:25 PM
I'll telling you, it's the color that makes all the difference. They are both the same kit, no doubt about it...

Stock front Splitters look kinda cool. Looks like INGS/MS combo.

Clavius

Talked to and shown several friends this kit and they all liked it, primarily because its different and they loved the front nose. I was contemplating buying a Audi before the 8 and was reading European Car and Euro-Tuner so European styling like this Kenstyle kit apeals to me. Now I just need to find a girlfriend who will buy it for me hehehehe... :rock:

I like the front, minus the lil piece that sticks out on the bottom ends.

RotorMotor
10-06-2006, 11:07 AM
I got tired of waiting for my buddy so I did this myself. I suck at Photoshop, but it gives me a good enough idea of what it would look like to know that I like it in grey. Will be ordering soon. :)

I like the back. It's very sporty. It's also very similar to what they did for the G35 and is very popular. Im not sure about the rest of it :/

The front sort of looks like the ings front kit. I would like it without the splitters and the pimp my ride grill.. Other than that the front is not too bad. The back and sides are nice.. I would just leave out the funny red light....
