Mazda Rx8 Vader kit pictures needed

Hey,
I love the Mazda Rx8 cars, and i will buy one in the future :D ,
but for now im still driving my lazy toyota carina
I have a project going on I'm going to make a 3d(cg) model of mazda rx8 since i cant afford it yet.
I also want to make it with a duraflex vader kit, but my problem is im having a struggle finding good quality pictues of the car with the kit.
If anyone could help me collecting/sharing some pictures i will appreciate it alot

Im looking for this kit:

Never fear, Jedi is here!
Vader? WHERE?!

all Star Wars jokes aside:
The picture you posted is of a car with the Veilside body kit.
"duraflex vader kit" might be a cheap knockoff of the Veilside...

Even the authentic Failside has that curve under the front lip. I hate that kit. But to each his own.

This is the only Veilside kit I like on the 8 and even at that Carson has been the only one to pull it off.

hehe, im not a huge fan of those hardcore "aerodynamic" kits, but this veilside kit for the rx8 doesn't look too bad, i agree when viewing it on some angles it looks overdone, and the rear bumber should have a simpler/straighter design.

Personaly i want the car to look MAD, like its pissed off at everyone. Im open for suggestions tho. (sorry, i dont speak english soo good).

If I was about to spend a lot of money and time, I wouldn't settle for a bodykit that "doesn't look too bad". I want a kit that I can say "That's badass".

Find a new bodykit.

I suppose it's because every crappy knock-off kit maker that advertises in Import Tuner, etc makes a Veilside ripoff (note the OP came here asking for the "Vader" kit). And to find a nice looking kit that actually compliments the lines of the 8 you might actually have to (gasp!) do a little searching around on the forum. The Veilside kit is not only ugly, it's horribly generic as Veilside has been recycling the same design for every possible car since the 90's!

thanks for the info, I will look into more kits and proberly make some of them too. For now im starting with the vader kit for my model, once i got the rx8 chassi it shouldn't be that hard to make other kits.

It's Veilside, not Vader. Vader is simply a rip-off. If you're going to do it, at least call it the right name.
