Yeah yeah I know. Everybody wants me to get new wheels. (for the record, I didn't buy them). I have a few projects; touchscreen radio, body kit, repainting/fixing scratches, rims. It's a work in progress. Short term I'm probably going to sand them down paint them. I'll get.

I think the sides are KS because they don't flare near the ends a little like the VL do and look much thicker top to bottom, but like ROTR8 stated, it's hard to tell. I think wheels would be all this car needs (Concave, something flush), oh, and getting all the chips out! Welcome to owning a BB RX8! I would ask a very generous amount if I were to advertise this kit

Alright, thanks for all the constructive criticism (especially the wheels, was never sure what people didn't like about them). As it stands looks like I'll get new sides, the current ones are just attached poorly and are generally in shitty condition and new wheels of course. Sometime in the future I'll post some ideas for the wheels. Thanks everyone!

you could also get the Vertex Canards for the front bumper, they actually dramatically change the appearance of the front, if your looking to change it up a little.

yeah, i think what gives me that impression is that awkward straight slant of the sideskirt near the rear wheel well.

Hey guys, do any of you happen to know what this body kit is? I checked japan parts and the links here don't work for me.

I'm thinking r magic, but not really sure...

well at least you have good taste.
Its the RMagic widebody, the kit without the hood and wing are $8K before shipping, looking at another $2K for shipping the hood shipped is about $2.5K and the same goes for the wing, sooo your looking at around $15K, minus the cost of really wide wheels and stuff

Weber Sports released their new body kit for the RX8 earlier this month. Ugly though.

The Spec1 is way better than the Failside IMO because it doesn't have that droop in the front. The last one is horrendous though. I wonder what the Spec1 would come to shipped.

That kit is a modified Veilside kit. I remember starting a thread on it a few years ago. Also I believe the person that is responsible for it is a member here.

Thats an opinion. Feed reps usually look good on anything.
