2 questions... I am looking at getting a body kit for my 8 that i just bought. There are a couple in the mix and the Buddy Club full kit is one of them. First I want to know if I can use the stock exhaust with this kit. And second I would like to know where you guys got your kits and how much they cost you.

Yes the stock exhaust will work

And I know a couple got them at raceroots, IDK about the others

I think I saw one guy in this thread with fog lights, wondering if anyone else has gone through the process of remounting fog lights with this kit and if they could tell me about their experience or if someone has an alternative that would be greatly appreciated.

I want the buddy club front end and possibly the sideskirts with a c-west booty and a mazdaspeed or replica wing(if i can find one of good quality). I don't want to lose my fog lights though. That's the plan so far...it will more than likely change.......prolly by tomorrow. I'm so torn when it comes to the body. I do prefer a more sleeker look than an agressive one. Maybe cause I'm getting older.

Time to join this thread....only have one pic and dont say a word about my dirty *** car ...seriously....


Havent cut or buffed the bumper yet, will have to wait till I get a few more days off. Either way I think overall my paint job on it came out pretty good, Not a lot of orange peel at all and just a few dust spots that need cut/buffed out.

Ill be posting a free for sale thread soon for my old bumper, it was hit by a dear carcass and needs some tlc but still holds its overall shape.

Buddy Club does not fit the lines of the rx8 at all. It is too cheap looking and boxy..

I'm not trying to be an *** or anything, just stating my honest opinion. I think your old bumper looks better, especially if you painted the mesh black.

anyone who wants it can come and pick it up out of my truck that is sitting outside. It needs some rebuilding but is not in terrible shape. There is a chunk of fiberglass missing on the underside as well as a few breaks in the front.

The bumper still holds its shape perfectly but needs some new fiberglass work and some metal bracing on the back. Its nothing to hard I'm just done fooling with it considering this makes the third, or maybe fourth time there has been some damage to this bumper, I think its a magnet for bad things to happen

But I can show whoever what to do to repair it, Its something a hobbyist can do in their personal garage without any major tools, its just labor intensive and time consuming, and honestly will only cost between 20-40 dollars if you do it yourself (minus paint of course)

Its sitting in old primer gray right now. It also has a few micro cracks across the bumper towards the sides.

Oh and its the only one that has its side markers fiberglassed in solid which are still intact and perfectly fine.

I know, lots of people hate it so its no big deal. I didnt really like the tsunami that was is in my sig which is why I only had it for a few months (hated it after a few weeks). Hell maybe Ill switch off the buddy club later on if I end up not liking after time.

The shine autoexe has taken a beating and needs some tlc I no longer want to give to it because for me the damn thing is cursed, its a horrible magnet for bad things to happen.

I actually tried to get a vertex lang kit that was supposed to be here in the US, I already talked to the vendor and they said they had it, placed the order (800 plus shipping) got a call 2 weeks later saying they had to order it from japan because it went to someone else and would cost another 200 for shipping plus the wait. So pissed off I requested my money back and ordered a buddy club because my bumper was busted and I needed one quicker.

mscamp if you got the shine front ill pay shipping to 33433 for it. and a small price to you as well, I have a body shop and i would love to fix it up!
