abf body kit
 

Just wanted to posts some new pics of the body kit. This is AIT's abf kit. It's a replica of ab flug which I'm sure is a great kit but I didn't get it due to the fact that it was running for about $2700+tax+shipping+a no return policy if I was unsatisfied with the kit. I plan to take some better pictures later as these were with my cell. 1st time posting pictures so don't roast me too bad.

This kit isn't going to get you much love here but props for the change anyway. Now get some wheels, exhaust and a drop to complete the look I don't think it will be half bad.

I'm considering getting a replica rear bumper made by VIS Racing. It seems to be sold with the undertray like the original ABFlug.

I don't expect to get much love. The forum seems to be against the ab flug look but it's all good. I like to be different and it looks better than stock without the appearance package. Lowering is probably not going to happen because I'm terrified about scraping. Also it all about taste but the kit looks so much better in person than in the pictures. I can't explain it or maybe I just suck at taking pictures. I thought the rx8 was ugly until I saw it in person. The VIS kit doesn't come with the under tray I already checked and be prepared to shell out some serious money on getting a replica to fit kinda right.

oh jeez.... i dnt like...

I don't like the kit personally, but if you're going to have an extreme kit like that you really need (and I mean NEED) wheels and a drop. The kit should be your last mod, because it just looks silly on stock wheels and suspension.

proper drop + wheels and this setup will be... proper.

Cool, I appreciate the feedback. I'm looking at some wheels now but I don't think I'll drop it. Like I said I'm terrified of scraping.

I think the front will look better without the Mazda badge.

you can at least lower the car some what without fear of scraping. doesn't need to be slammed, just not the truck style like the car comes.

looks like the rear bumper doesnt fit right infirst pic.

either way congrats on the kit, never was my style but congrats either way

I personally think your car looks like a bag of dicks. That aero is horrible

^a little harsh maybe?

looks like a cat fish....

debadge + wheel + drops
will complete your babe 8
wish you luck ^^

Some 20" chrome wheels will make this really dope.... :suspect:

zumn would be proud.

For some reason I can't upload better pics. I just get a message saying upload failed. Any suggestions?

Yeah it does kind of look like a catfish!! That's hilarious. I've always liked this style even though it's too overboard for most. I'm not asking for everyone's approval; I'm just sharing what I have done so far with this project. I am considering some new wheels btw. I would appreciate advice for lowering the car. It seems like I can barely drive it now without scraping. I probably just can't drive. Anyway here are some better pics. As you can see the kit obviously isn't perfect, being a replica, but "it'll" do. Zumn you' my hero!!![IMG]http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01418.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01419.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01420.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01442.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/a...8/DSC01445.jpg[/IMG]

Still looks like a bag of dicks, but now with a side of AIDS

Oh, I'm sorry Fate that I didn't meet your approval. Maybe next time I'll ask your permission before I take a piss. You sure taught me a lesson.

Make sure to give me a PM before you do. Always remember to courtesy flush too

i've always been a fan of abflug for thier designs on the supra and 300zx but i expected better of them for the rx8, with that said, i think a slight drop wouldnt hurt and some bigger more aggressive rims would flush out the package, since you've chosen possibly the most aggresively designed kit on the market today i'd probably invest in a vented hood and cf trunk also, in your case it really would be go big or go home

+1 might as well go for it all the way

a nice set of 9.5 wide rims some tien s techs possibly a siebon ts hood.

Cool. I appreciate that. I'm looking at some 18x8 for the front and some 18x9 in the rear right now. Both have a 38mm offset. I'm not sure what tires I can fit without any issues. I'm thinking a 245/40/18 in the front and a 265/40/18 in the rear. I don't want to worry about rubbing. I just checked out s-tein springs and that looks like a go. Will I be able to make it over speed bumps? I'm too nervous to try now. The seibon hood looks awesome; I saw someone photoshop one with it painted and left the vents carbon fiber so I'm considering that.
