(posted this in the brilliant black 8 thread, but just wanted to share my conversion which was completed yesterday with the rest of the guys here)

Hi all,

just got my 8 two months back.
since the FLs are pretty expensive over here in Singapore,
i managed to source for a R3 bumper that fits the pre-facelift ones.
Got my mazdaspeed sideskirts as well.

Will post up new pics when my 6 pot endless goes in and a respray of my rims + spacers is done

some pictures

 

Looks good!

 

looking really good!

 

Love it!

 

awesome!

 

now that you've got to share where the "source" is lol

 

haah..

thanks all for the kind words,
i managed to "source" this kit from a neighbouring country of mine in malaysia.
website as follows
www.carboninmotion.com

Car was down at the local bodyshop for 5 days. only problem was the gaps in between the lenses (signal lights), hence some alterations, work had to be done. the rest of the kit actually fitted on quite well, saving me $$ on labor.

 

Looks great

 

that looks freacking cool.

 

how is the fit?

 

like i mentioned earlier.. some alterations needed to be done.
but nothing major... even original kits from japan do not fit perfectly...

 

Not bad, I still prefer the older look but it's cool that you got that to work!

 

bro, im from s'pore too and u have done it first man........ I have just ordered OEM FL foglight kits, OEM front mesh and Leg Sports front badge vent last week. gonna bring down the front mesh to carbonation this weekend for their further modification. Will post pics after completion. good choice mate!

 

btw, I will spray mate black on the lower lips of R3 front and R3 side skirt. And my brand new OEM LED custom made tailights from total 7 japan is due to arrive at the end of next month!

 

Great job, it looks smooth!

 

Take off the front plate for pics.

 

love the look dude, very nice

 

I like this a lot....great looking

 

thanks all for the kind words.
its good to know i am one of the "first few" to carry out this conversion in sunny singapore.

btw the plates are mounted with 3M tape... gonna be a bi*ch to get it replaced... "man i am just plane lazy"

 

looks like its a RE-Amemiya rep

 

Hi 15boost - Glad to know that you're happy with the kit. Was browsing through the forum and noticed this interesting topic title, kinda sounded like something we did at carboninmotion and true enough. Thanks for the recommendation.
