It would look great if it was black.....

BIU 04-08-2004 02:16 PM

looks awesome Adrian! :eek:

Is your 8 lowered? Hows the clearance with the lip on?

adrian-1 04-08-2004 05:58 PM

My car is not lowered. No plans to lower it at the moment. Finished installing it and it lowers the clearance about 1 inch from stock. But it sticks out towards the front about 6inches more compared to stock.
It's at 5 1/2 inches with the lip on.

It's actually darker than the picture shows. The sun was hitting it directly on the top picture and makes it very noticable.
Just finished installing it and took a couple more pictures. It was cloudy when I took these.

Side view. The Mazdaspeeds sides are next to go on.

adrian-1 04-08-2004 06:01 PM

Front side view.
Hopefully it'll line up with the MS sides.

BIU 04-08-2004 07:54 PM

that looks freaking sweet!

im gonna get the Rmagic front lip... so i figure it'd look similiar to yours.........

so no problems with the clearance driving around so far?

Sanguine_Dark 04-08-2004 08:06 PM

Adrian-1,

Your car is looking sweet. The Lip looks much better than the 'advertised' pics. Do they come only in CF?

No they also come in unpainted fiberglass and cost almost half as much as the carbon fiber. Click the link on my first post and it'll have info on who to contact for prices.

I've was thinking about the Rmagic lip but didn't want to have to paint itl. It's very similiar looking. Might be alittle lower.
No clearance problems so far. Except I was barely scraping on my walmart ramps without the lip, so I'll have to lift it using my jack from now on.

KC_RX-8 04-08-2004 10:22 PM

RXMAN16 04-08-2004 10:31 PM

Looks awesome. Good job

BIU 04-08-2004 10:39 PM

Hey Adrian did you have to pay any extra taxes or brokerage fees when it got to you or did you just pay KS-auto one amount straight up?

adrian-1 04-09-2004 12:11 AM

No extra fee's. They quoted me $695 shipped to my door and this also included tax and import tax. Paid using paypal.

Itzdavidx 04-11-2004 02:52 AM

looks nice!!
was it easy to install?

adrian-1 04-11-2004 05:11 PM

Super easy to install. All you need is a socket set and a drill. No need to remove the front bumper.
Posted install procedure here.
