hey guys I was thinking of purchasing this body kit:
http://www.andysautosport.com/mazda/...r00072288.html
Do u think I ll have problems with speed bumps?? also my rx8 will be track raced a lot so I want to give some space for the exhaust to breath at the rear bumper. I have the mazdaspeed racing exhasut. Do u think I should be fine with that? do u guys race your rx8 with bodykits?

Honestly- If you want to go with quality - it's always best to buy original. Japanparts.com, mazmart, fluid and other vendors on this website should have access to all the original kits. You should check them out and send them a message.
However since you asked about replica's - my company of choice is Shine Autoproject (www.shineautoproject.com)
here's there ebay link: http://stores.ebay.com/shineautoproj...QQftidZ2QQtZkm
Their kits all have pretty good fitment (8/10). a lot of other forum members have their kits as well with very little complaint.
Here's my kit from them:
Burnout Kit ver. 2

Thx, Atilla. They are a bit more expensive though. That duraflex is everywhere. lol. Where ever I go, they sell that duraflex and $500 body kit is an awsome price :D have anyone even heard of them?? I would like to keep the costs down as much as possible.

Yeah, i've heard of them - i've also seen them in person - problem is they're still capable of breaking at key points - as another forum member has shown me, the area's near the corner of our headlights are very weak - meaning if you bottom out by the front end, you'll practically snap the kit in half 
p.s. - Thanks Kersh!

From dealing with multiple replica companies I've realized that replica's are always hit or miss. I only suggested Shine because i've done business with him a couple of times and every time, he's come through for me. So far no replica company has impressed me nearly as much both in fitment and in communication - Other's may disagree but to each their own experience really.
Like i said...If you can't find a reputable replica company - just hit up one of the vendors and message them for special club member pricing. It might help

did u have any problems with your lip kit!?? I have a velocity red rx8 and check out this pic:
That looks sweet
its taken right from their website. Also I think that many fitting problems will be minimized with the lip kit as it just sticks to OEM bumpers. Did u have to go through any special treatment for that kit??
thx in advance man, u re helping me a lot here.

^that 8 belongs to a forum member: Photomunkey 
he's a cool guy but recently sold his kit to another forum member from Socal. Rx Ocho
No special treatments when i put on the kit. Just some screws and 3m double sided sticky tape. There is a small gap in the side skirts but they can easily be filled in...there's already a thread about this...i'll try and find it for you.
