Gound Clearance between Rx8 and Hump
 

Can any member who had install the full body kit bumper and side skirt on their Rx8 has any problems when driving over Humps?

humps r ok if u 'attack' it fr an angle,nt head on,& of cos,slow lar...if u din lower the car too much,shldnt pose much prob over humps.wat worries r those slopes @ carpks entries/exit...bugis junct exit @ continental hotel 4 xample, is a big no no,even if the car runs on the stock ride-ht.the OEM bumper almost cant clear,thks to our 'short-nose'

:eek: :confused:

we hv lots of humps & bumps over here @ our local roads build to slow dn the traffic..places like near to a uncontrolled pedestrian-crossin ;)

On INGS kit..now the fender and wheel gap set to 2 fingers. Humps are alright, but need to move slowly over.

INGS kits are damn nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

any ideal if Mazda Speed bodykit clearance?

Would it be lesser or more than the ings kit?

i dun think the bodykit would have much problem. Never give me any problem. But think there are other things under the car that is even lower than the bodykit. Exhaust for example.... Sometimes when I go a bit too fast, something would scratch the bottom. Ouch...

When backing into some car park stalls with the concrete stoppers....gotta be careful, I've banged my exhaust into them before the back wheels touch, thankfully no damage.

Thanks :D

INGS kit was my 1st choice.... but after knowing someone in spore oredi has it, i dropped the idea and went for other kit.....

depending on which maker..... some kits do have problems clearing humps on our roads..... burnout kits definitely wun clear, veilside most lkely oso wun clear, and some others....

mazdaspeed shld be no prob... the bumper height is ok.... juz need to go slow on humps niah.....

if u looking for MS kit, try pm-ing bro cannavaro..... i tink he is selling his brand new full set in t.gray. He has his sights on another set of kits.

I do not mind spending $2500-$3500 for a set of body kit but the original MS ones are way too expensive.

I found out that I can get a replica set from HongKong for around $1500-1600. Unpaint.

2.5-3.5k for rx8 bodykits are considered cheap. whole set, including spoiler?

in jap, one whole set, including spoiler, wld set u back by at least 5k, including the freight.

These are the price that GarageR quote me

Veilside $3700
Ing $3400
RotaryRun $2850
Fujita $4700
R Magic $3600

The price consist of 4 piece set (front back and 2 sides)
All unpaint and fiberglass.

As for the spoiler most of them are around $1300-1500 for most brands

UG...POST PICS! :cool:

yah, include spoiler, ard 5k liao.... quite standard price... if bring in ownself could be a little cheaper....

bro morgan,sent ya a pte...

veilside - lke i said in another post, always has bodykits that are too kua zhang

ings - one of the nicest bodykits for rx8.

rotary run - reason why it is cheaper is becos only front lip, side skirts and back lip. however the rear lip looks rather impressive on a white ride.

fujita - a dressed down version of veilside, esp the front bumper which looks so similar to veilside. no rear lip, or rather mud guards. for this price, not value for money.

r magic - front bumper nice. side skirts and the whole piece of rear lip flush until very nice. can seriously consider this kit. but the spoiler spoils the look. :D

Look into getting a Autobahn Strauss one... :P But the front bumper has minor clearence issues... so don't lower car before you get the kit.

hmmm alot of people seems to like ings kit, i think it look gorgeous in winning blue, and it might look good too with black (havent seen one though). But somehow...looks pretty average in any other colours, but so far seen it in grey and red, not very impressive. IMO at least.....

looks great on blue especially and since their show car oso in w.blue......

autobahn kit is impressive as well........ the best is to debadge ur whole car... super sleek!!

Have not taken any picture yet... :( But will try during the longweek end ;)
