Suggest to reconsider your interest. The FEED project is underway, and ShineAuto is now collecting deposits for the replica kit.

The FEED kit is just as sexy and gorgeous as the INGs.

It is 100% legal. Replica body kits have been around for ages.

hmmm, I wanted to get this kit at first, but now I think I have completely changed my mind and is going to go for RE Amemiya's AD Eight Facer body kit, including those "hidious" fog lights. In my humble opinion, I think those fog lights makes the car look even more unique and different. I love that kit! Personal preference though. !

P.S. sorry to throw this entire thread off topic like this.

Hey guys, considering that this FEED replica kit is the 3rd rx-8 replica kit that Shine is actually producing over the past year and the fact that the Vertex GB has come to a screeching halt, I don't know if you can expect any new kits out of SHine for quite a while. Of course I could be wrong, but why don't you scoop up one of the last remaining spots on our FEED GB and get a super cool looking kit that you don't see around everywhere!

Sato,

It is a personal choice indeed if you are leaning towards the Amemiya.

One of the reasons why we want the FEED is cost. A good quality replica kit coupled with a lower price compared to the original is just too hard to pass up. Not to mention that the FEED has a very sexy appeal. Have you seen the FEED kit for the RX7 ??? That kit is awesome. Now, the RX8 FEED kit took a similar design, and is just as awesome without being over-the-top.

If those two front foglights in the Amemiya are what swayed your interest, then there is no reason why you or Shine can mod the FEED to include those two front foglights into the FEED replica.

We urge you to reconsider your position and stay with the FEED.

Well, I will think about it, but not sure, because I have been an Amemiya fan & supporter for a long time, and I really respect their work. Well I'm in no hurry, so I'll just sit back and contemplate about it

In a way I agree with you sato,

I mean, the RE amemiya front bumper is (for me) the best front bumper for RX-8..

I actually go one myself, a replica though.. unfortunately the material and
fitment suck!! It was the worst mod I ever did to my car despite the fact
that my car looked so cool for a couple of months..

anyway, yes, I do agree that the big, huge fog lights add a certain appeal
to that bumper and the whole car! especially at night.. and I actually used
a PIAA fog lights with my bumper as they didn't come with any.. so my car
looked awesome at night! but anyway.. yes, if you do get a FEED, i'm also
interested in putting on the OEM fog light on the side, just like the MS
body kit..

and yes, the reason I'm thinking of getting a FEED is because it is a cheap
alternative and yes, it is one of the best bumpers!

come join us! =)

Question To late or no?

$200 deposit and then around $500-550 right? If so, I'd like to confirm that this GB is still open...

yeah man do it! there are still a few spots left. I think you pay the $200 deposit and then pay the balance of whatever you order at the time they ship to you. I'm pretty sure that's how it works but you should call Shine though. here is the first page of the official GB https://www.rx8club.com/group-buy-center-85/group-buy-feed-front-sides-money-talks-bs-walks-114863/ once you've paid the deposit you should add yourself to the list.

I heard the fit for the FEED kit is excellent. I chatted with a guy that bought the original and he said the fit was perfect with no bodywork or shop labour(other than painting) needing to be done. Shine claims that their replicas fit as good or better than the original since they do extensive test fitting and make attempts to improve on the original. So, I imagine that the only kit out there that could possibly fit better would be the mazdaspeed. I can definately live with that. As far as instal time goes, even if you are a turtle I couldn't imagine it taking more than a couple hours. Don't expect this kit to be ready and delivered any sooner than another few months though. As far as I can tell it'll be pretty tough to match this kit's style, quality and price.
