buddy club

i think this kit looks amazing. so im not asking for opinions. http://www.buddyclub.us/

im asking about fitment. this looks ridiculously awesome, and i may just have to sell the AP that i just bought to finance this. my car is going to the bodyshop on monday anyway. i know im getting a new rear bumper and im probably getting a new front bumper, in which case i might as well just body kit it.

unfortunately there is fitment to be concerned with when it comes to body kits.

im glad you lik eit and you wont let people sway your choice...i personaly dont like it too much but i respect that you do.

as for fitment all depends on how well the kit is made and if its been sitting for a long time...all body kits are a apain to put on but some are easier then others.

i had a veilside invader 2 for a while and it was the biggest b**** to put on

no you had a fake kit and if it was invader then chances are it was extreme dimensions which is known to fit like ****....i got the real thing and it fits fine

so guess what? i searched. lol.

https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...y+club+fitment

not a bad thread. unfortunately it lets me know i have to remove the rear bumper reinforcement. which is really too bad because that means the rear is going to get passed over. which is too bad, because i like complete kits. although i dont understand why, the rear looks identical except with a skirt at the bottom. i'll email them.

I have no experiance with the kit, I like it tho.
I wouldnt put it on my car, but its nice.

and from previous experiances with buddy club products. I would highly recomend them, I have never owned any of their aero parts, but I had a set of their coilovers on my FC and they were fantastic.

Doesn't the front bumper show the bumper support if you don't take it off, since the opening is so big. I don't know if that matters to you or not...

I find it interesting they show the kit with the MS spoiler installed. IMO, that's what makes the look, not the kit itself.

it all depends on a few things, but if i can do it, i definitely am.

im awaiting an estimate, how long it will take, etc etc. i have parking lot dings that are getting taken care of, and i need a new front and rear bumper cover so i figured this was a good time to go aftermarket. however, if its too expensive, well, its too expensive and i cant afford it. and thats that. lol. this is also my only car so time is an issue. i know if i was going OE my car would be back this friday.

I was just wanting to know what spoiler you plan on using (if any), since the pics for the kit show the MS one.

i feel you my rx8 is my only car too so its hard 2 always do work on it, but almost all the kits for the 8 are mad expensive thats why i didnt even bother with one. Anyway good luck with everything and keep us posted on what you plan to do
