EU Bodykit needed - 2005 RX8

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a bodykit for my 2005 RX8.

I'm not looking to faaf around, making adaptations to the kit, to make it fit my car... hence, I just want something that is easy to fit on.

Does anyone know where I can get a good bodykit from?

Is http://www.body-kitz.com a good site to purchase one from?

Cheers,
Kish.

the short answer is---- no

the long answer is the only thing that will fit perfectly is the authentic mazdaspeed kit. anything from that site you'll probably wind up spending hundreds if not thousands to get it to fit right. there are authentic kits that are close to oem fitment, but they will most likely still require some work.

mazdaspeed (authentic) will be the only real bolt-on. there are some other good ones and i really like my shine autobahn replica and didn't spend much on fitment and paint.

So basically, you guys are saying that the bolt on kits are:

"my buddy club kit fit with no modification." (kersh4w) &
"mazdaspeed (authentic) will be the only real bolt-on" (CTrx8)

Where can I buy these kits?

Those are not the only ones that will fit. Just make sure the brand of the body kit is a reputable JDM brand and not someone replicating the kit.

Brands like Buddy Club, Re-Amemiya, Knightsports, Kenstyle, Mazdaspeed, and so on.

Send a message to our vendors. There are several threads, but the popular ones are "Japanparts" and "Raceroots."

My car is in black too.... does he have a simple bolt on kit? Where in Italy is he?! If I like the kit and it fits right on, then yeh, I'll be up for buying that kit off him. Let me know... my email address is: kish325@hotmail.com

Also people, I have an offer from a company called hitechproductz (u can see their link on ebay), for the bodykit: Mazda RX8 VS Front Bumper - Devil Style (RX-8) Bodykit‏... has anyone had any experience with this kit? Is it a good one?

Thanks for everyones input btw.

Cheers,
Kish.
