Question 04 Mazda rx8 body kits

I want to buy the kgs engineering invader full body kit. Does anyone have one on? is it easy installment, meaning a snap on like the factory front and back bumper? or do you have to get it professionally done?

Anything other than the Mazdaspeed authentic kit from Mazda will have to be done by a pro shop. Here's a heads up, them cheaper the kit cost on the internet, the more it'll cost for the pro shop to install it.

Take it to a pro, to get any kit put on . They could match the color well which is very important . Like mention before the cheaper the kit , the more it will cost you to hook it up .

Do some research and you'll be ok............................

Kgs kits are hit or miss, Ive seen some that only needed slight mods to fit, and ive see some where we need to cut sections off and re-glass them to fit right. Also, if this is a daily driver, be prepared for cracks as most kits are fiberglass.

you might find out that cost almost like you buying a new authentic MS body kit after you have a shop to paint and fit it for you. Important thing is, the quality will not be as well as the MS kit. Also if you are concern about warrenty.

that's quotable right there brother

Seriously though, there is nothing to be gained from buying knock offs, they don't fit as well (if even close), the materials are as cheap as can be, most of the "companies" that sell these kits just want a quick buck and to rip off someone else's idea and profit from it, all the while producing inferior products that they WILL NOT back up worth a flip.

Do yourself and your car a favor, if you're going to get a kit, spend the extra money buying a REAL one from a REAL vendor, period. Sure sometimes even authentic stuff might have problems, but I've NEVER heard of any issue or problem with people getting their issues resolved or the kits not being used since it won't fit right etc etc. I have heard of problems like that with knock offs, where the person tried to save a couple bucks, kit sucked, vendor wouldn't help or take it back, bodyshop wanted to charge gobs of money just to even TRY to fit it and so on and so on..... I can't tell you how many times I see people with grand canyon gaps and **** hanging off on their cars and waves you could surf in their bumpers etc.....and they're oblivious, don't be one of those dudes man, please, don't shame your 8.

Agreed.. I was one of those guys.. Though, I have to say, mine doesn't have Grand Canyon gaps nor lots of waves, though there is one I need to get fixed.
