original kits from Japan has very good fittings...

the "crap" kits that u r referring to that needs lots of work i assumed are replicas which are a waste of time...

With or wo kit is subjective, and really it's up to individual taste.

I've seen quite a number of RX8s with chiong kits - how to tell? either cracked, or wavy lines, or poor fitting etc.

Please, you're not buying a rex, honda etc - this is an 8. if you cannot afford an original body kit, then get original addons if that's to your taste - or just keep it stock - don't insult the 8.

For those that think 'naaah. nobody will know' - note that pple can tell, and will be laughing behind your back.

Also lately, there seems to be tons of new 8s out there that have no respect for the law or for other 8 drivers - drive like madman. Guys, have respect for the car and yourselves, and let's not cheapen the image of the 8 on the roads

Oopps........jialat!

kenna caught by you.....ok, i'll be good! :lol:

yeah....especially those who like to cut into ppl lane, tailgate along CTE and so on...dun think got XMM instead then can anyhow drive...

i have the preformance package and it rocks!

look guys bodykits are awsome! look at the mazda speed wide body kit it looks mean as hell an what about the veilside d1 gt or the r magic there are plenty to chose from but when you pick a kit make it look right dont go all fast an the furious on the world thats honda's job keep it simple but sexy an u love it!

im personaly going for the mazda speed wide body that s*it is hot!

solo!

can post pic of mazda speed wide boykit? new kit?

I have never seen a Mazdaspeed wide body.

Just got back from a vacation to the land of the rising sun...looks like this thread is still buzzing!

Anyways, an interesting observation...spotted a few 8s in Tokyo while walking on the streets and also some parked beside my Jap friend's car on a couple of occasions...to my surprise, none were kitted, except a red 8 with only the Mazdaspeed GT wing, somewhere near Mt Fuji. All their rims were stock too.

Spotted a few STIs and Evos without kits too...quite contrary to my erstwhile held beliefs about the Jap auto scene...or maybe I was in the wrong prefecture / part of town!? :lol:

Most of the Japanese are really polite and sound drivers...and have positive traffic rules, like how to say 'thanks' using your hazard lights when someone gives way to you. Had a really pleasant time cruising (as a passenger) on their highways...we S'poreans have got plenty to learn from them...

Mazdaspeed kit...

there is a AutoExe kit dat is marketed for 'adults'...i.e not too riceboi and flashy and it cums without the GT Wing...subtle and sophiscated looking makes ur ATE look abit more 'mature'..i like...:fingersx:

:yelrotflm Random punchline: So should i recommend you to an optometrist??? jk jk
Its not wide body.

yes there is a wide body mazda speed kit one of my friends has it an its sick as hell it makes the fenders flare out a good 4" an the back is cut real low an mean but i decided to go custom i bought the veilside d1 gt front and side skirts an just cause i thought the d1 gt back was so hidious i bought the r magic rear witch realy is not a rear at all its like a lower vented lip hard to explain bought cant wait to see it on the car
