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...

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

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

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.....
