looks like INGS+TSUNAMI+BUDDYCLUB+VEILSIDE+R-MAGIC all-in-one maybe in the EURO it will sell but FAIL for whoever buys one here.

Zumn, are you actually giving an opinion on bumpers?

Anyways, it's about time. C-West produced quite a number of functional parts for the FD. Not a fan, but it doesn't look too bad, a bit on the aggressive side and it screams C-WEST.

Doesn't look too bad actually

I don't think it looks bad.

hmmmm - interesting...

front looks like a combination of things like zumn said. I see the Buddy Club front grill - Hints of the INGs +1 on the bottom corners of the front - the oil cooler slits look kinda like the mint blue/ings - the sides def look like veilside tho.

too many lines IMO. Iono why people insist on making so many jagged (sp) lines on our bodykits.

It looks like their S2000 kit.. I wonder if they will make a rear bumper as well?!

gaah...it's not a horrible bumper like some stuff out there...but damn...what happened to simplicity?? :(

It looks better on the S2K....

agreed this thing could have been much better if it didnt have so many lines and corners. I really just dont like that part thats right in front of the oil cooler.

I like it! A like those little box things for fog lights.

I like this aswell very interesting and unique

I think it looks exactly the way its supposed to look like a C-West kit... And is looks damn sexy... Its great to see big name tuners still dedicated to serving such a niche market,,,
If there is any kit that most closely resembles C-West's design language its Odula's 2nd kit,,,

youve pretty much solidified your retardness with your comments,,, Abflug wut?

the side skirts look like veilside.

the front is characteristic Cwest but some of the initial design concepts have been lost in translation. I wish more kits kept the wheel arch lines like the original concept art tried to do.

it looks like odula+buddy club.

even the sideskirts.

Lol. Very.....'Busy'.

But i bet would make for a real clean foglight install....

Me likey.

Good call! It does look a lot like the Odula front end..

:rofl:

Update!! Side skirts are about finished, and it also looks like they will be making a new rear bumper as well.

ahh i'd love to be sponsored by these guys. I'm so local to them.

Too jagged. Curvy car, curvy bodykit

the kit looks pretty good.. maybe i should go with them

C-West makes good stuff.

looks good kinda makes me want to wait to get a new kit wonder when it will be complete. just hope its not something that i can break easy being lowered and hows their fitment on other stuff

^^^ C-West is a very reputable company,,,

R- keep us posted intered in seeing the rear bumper,,,

i like it, it looks good and I think itll come out nice for anyone who really wants a nice aggressive kit.

^^^ that is sounding good. i may have to wait until they release it. hope they dont ruin it with the rear bumper and the exhaust shrouds are open at the bottom. also its kinda cool the wind tunnel their designs

Teaser! :)

Wow this is look like a great kit! now its time to donate blood plasma to get money to buy the kit

looks good wish the exhaust was open on the bottom though.

C-West put most of their products through wind tunnel testing. I wonder if they will do the same for the RX8 kit and what improvements we will be seeing.

hmmm its hard to tell, might be too busy...

You can always cut it out..

All the C-West kits are developed in the wind tunnel and tested at air speeds of 30m/s to 40m/s which would equate to a road speed of approximately 90mph.

The kit is still in development, and there will most likely be 2 version's of it. Similiar in design, but a little different. I would wait until the car is fully complete, painted, modifications added on, such as wheels, hood, etc.

hmmm, i'm in the market for side skirts and a rear bumper, i'll have to see how this turns out when its all finished

looks like signiture c-west design,

i guess no one mentioned it looks like the rx-7 bumper lol but its cool. i wouldnt rock it but someone sure will.

^^ As Rotr8 & c0ldf1ame had stated, it's the signature design of C-West and it looks like the way a C-West body kit would look like.. So, basically all their kits look the same in design, but it looks pretty damn good on the RX-8!

Here's a rear side shot..

Wannabe F&F fanbois around the world must be rejoicing

speaking of retarded, pot meet kettle

Theres a lot going on in this kit but I think I kinda like it

rear diffuser?? yes...no??

Hate it. Way too busy for my tastes.

im a fan....but then again i love the veilside too

from the side, the rear looks VERY similar to buddy club. they just added the vent.

I like the looks of the Odula kit. It doesn't look riced out and is more from a functional standpoint IMO where the vents are. Wonder if there's any legit sites to pick up such a kit, couldn't find any decent ones on google.

As for the C-west kit I think it also looks good. The additional pockets on the front work well for fitting in a fog lamp and the vents are in good places, not sure why it looks too busy contrast to some that just have a crap load of vents everywhere like R-Magic's front end.

Meh to each their own.

It will be nice if they have a diffuser in the rear

You could most likely order it through Japanparts, Yuki is known for seeking out kits or parts that arent listed on thier site,,,

There are several bumpers that would be very nice if they had a rear diffuser, we'll see cant make a judgement call until I see the entire thing glassed and painted,,,

The more and more I see the more and more I am thinking stock is the way I will stay. Every kit I like seems to cost more than the car or I would have to have repaired every week because its not the right material.
As already said it looks a bit to busy on the front for me.

Im actually liking the front a lot

Bump!
