RX-8 Body Kit. . .But for a Civic!

Check this out; I was searching the internet and out of boredom I looked up some body kits. My friend has a del sol with a b16 engine swap, a t3t4 turbo and a shitload of engine upgrades (around 10 grand) but he has no exterior mods, so i was looking to see what he could put on it to make it stand out. I found this. . .




personally, I think the red one looks sweet for a del sol but the civic is fugly. I think the rx-8 beautiful design can be applied to any car to add some style, however it will be very interesting to see if these kits become popular or not. here is the full link

Why is the Honda camp always imitating other manufacturer's body styles? It's really sad. This is much worse than the Nissan Skyline ground effects for Hondas, or anything not a Skyline. Thanks for helping me purge my dinner.

RX-8's nose looks really nice. I saw this one coming the minute I fell in love with the 8. 2 years from now, we will run across a Civic, Integra, Golf, Accord, Old cars with RX-8 noses. I have to admit, it does improve the Del Sol's looks. It sucks to be immitated though.

And not to mention the tailights.

Like that has never been done before? Car designs are copied by other makers all the time. The biggest US auto maker who did this for years was MOPAR. There wasn't a single vehicle during the last half of last century that they did't copy from some other design. Perhaps the only exceptions are the Caravan, the PT Cruiser, the Viper and the Prowler. Even those designs were from other eras or other makers. This is common for most manufacturers to do once a proven design has been popularized.

Oh Please, its not the same thing, they might look alike, but the RX-8 is much better looking.

If they look as bad as an 8, no.

Ah, but you see, a stupid s2k is faster than a fudged-up-hp flooded-proned 8.
