In my opinion, these cars are disgusting. Maybe it's just the pics.

Although I like the RE Amemiya body kit and the RX-7. The Mazdaspeed kit looks terrible, Mazda is trying too hard to get the RX-8 to look like a G35/Z4.... it's perfect Mazda - just leave it!

I like alot as long as they whack a turbo or tripple rotor in that i will be as happy as a Euro lottery winner!!! sadly however i wont be the $126 million richer but still i will be happy!

changing the fenders to those looks like quite a hard job, as the rest of the kit is pretty much bolt on, but surely the original fenders are welded on?

They make me think of the exposed hinges on an early Mini...

(but, I don't like or dislike them, whereas I like the 'stock' strakes).

That new MS front looks like my Auto Exe. Not original at all.

How's the fiberglass been holding up? Is your car your daily driver?

I like the big brakes on this New MS8! I also like the rear bumper and exhaust but im not too fond of the other parts of the bodykit.
