It would be easier for members to help you with a body shop suggestion if they knew where you lived. So im assuming your replacing the Rad with a Koyo? . Headlights i would search the forum in the for sale threads, they tend to be expensive new. You can find good fenders here as well more than likely pre painted. Just have to search.

Mishimoto is pretty much unrecommended. They are an ebay brand that gained enough volume to sell elsewhere. Their quality is typically worse than OEM, and not just on the RX-8.

Thanks RIWWP, as always you are a wealth of knowledge. You should change your S/N to YODA. Just sayin, it would be accurate.

Find a wrecker with the parts....you can likely make a deal for the whole front end as one piece a lot cheaper than buying them all separate. That way you will get all the small bits you need as well
