We carry the the Buddy Club kits, one of my most favorites, a very clean and simple look.

I have yet to see one hands on, so not sure about fitment.

Not very many have this kit either, which is odd, I think it is one of the best looking ones.

I personally love the looks of the buddy club kit, its not to crazy expensive either for an authentic kit (less than 1300 shipped from most places i think) but it does have an issue with both bumpers, you have to remove part of the bumper (cant remember what its called but its the big metal piece that stops an SUV from running into your back seats)

^ I think the support bar is the biggest reason you dont see to many people with it. The autoexe front is like that as well but you can just simply cut the bumper a little bit to make it all fit (thats what I did), not quite sure if you can do that with the BC kit

I personally think it destroys the lines of the car with the square grill and the random elongates cylindrical cutouts, I think if it was that good looking you would actually see it on some cars, have yet to see in person or in a picture other than the original shop car, and Ithink theres a reason...

good thing car modification is about personal taste.

i think it looks sexy as hell. rivaled only by the mazdaspeed, but that is sooooo played out.

edit: and tiltmode. way to quote the buddy club honda to compare to the buddy club rx8. well duh they are going to look similar. its called a design language.

Very True, but at the end of the day I have other mods that make me stand out.

There are only soo many body kits around.

that why people need to take initiative and modify the ones that are out there,
More like what happens with the 7s or MR2s or Silvias,, Our car has been around enough that people need to get more daring and experiment alittle, wether it be track mods or show mods,, I wanna see more crazy 8s...
I am following this moddo, and at the end of the week I will have the first AutoExe SE-03c in the country but thats not enough for me and I will be modding it before it even goes on,,,
Stay tuned....

no offense meant. i LOVE the mazdaspeed and i would never buy another body kit if someone gave me one. but the fact that it costs $1500 for the front plus the fact that there are so many means i want to go somewhere else.

but there is no denying that it is sexy as hell. especially if you have the cash for it.

Are you familiar with buddy club? Perhaps stroll over to honda-tech and see what you find. Buddy club does make quality parts but their main marketbase is the Honda community and they have been doing so for quite some time. When I see the buddy club kit part of me can't help but think early 90's CRX. I'd rather not have that association with my 8...
