not liking the rear at all

Vlaze 02-03-2010 07:50 AM

Looks clean, liking it. Just my 2 cents but you might want to think of a small diffuser along with it. Nothing major but rather simple. Otherwise some may not find it worth getting the rear bumper. Looking at it I honestly wouldn't buy it just because it doesn't seem much different than stock but it looks good none the less. Just my opinion

Rotr8 02-03-2010 08:47 AM

hmmmmm still gonna wait to see it painted, starting to appear too busy but might clean up well when finished...

kersh4w 02-03-2010 12:43 PM

they should have made the middle open. its now acting like a giant parachute.

ZachLegend 02-03-2010 12:55 PM

Dayum!

Jedi54 02-03-2010 01:03 PM

very interesting bodykit they've got there. It's a bit busy but I think with the full kit, it'll all come together nicely.

pdxhak 02-03-2010 03:23 PM

Need better angles and further away pics of the rear. Right the lines are too straight and busy looking. Looking forward to seeing it finished with a proper stance and set of wheels.

If there is any kit that most closely resembles C-West's design language its Odula's 2nd kit,,,

Is this kit available for purchase or just for show

Rotr8 02-03-2010 04:25 PM

Its been out for four years, not too many people have it but you can definately buy it...

Those two smaller openings throw it off for me, a bit too busy. Still cool to see new parts being developed for first gen rx8s though :icon_tup:

rx8spiritR 02-04-2010 08:46 AM

they should do this 5 years ago.............~_~
too late now........TOO FUCKING LATE NOW!!!!!

SiLVeRE8 02-04-2010 04:49 PM

^LOL

Cant wait to see it painted

dezau 02-04-2010 09:45 PM

damn.... if i hvn't got my mazdaspeed already, i'd defintely want this

Mr.We$t 02-04-2010 09:54 PM

Man this is looking really nice want to see some paint on it aswell

NgoRX8 02-05-2010 02:26 AM

I don't think this will turn out that bad. Not that I would buy it, but I kinda want to see it completed.

Rotr8 02-05-2010 06:30 AM

I m starting to really like it with the exception of the way they decided to cover up the bumper bar. I think something more like the MS bumper bar cover would be better.

bumblebeerx8 02-05-2010 05:16 PM

well im deffently buying this front

Mr.We$t 02-05-2010 05:25 PM

^+1 I think i will aswell but I need to c it painted first

Rotr8 02-05-2010 06:54 PM

It would look nice with a big ole FMI,,,

rotarenvy 02-05-2010 07:22 PM

I'm not a fan of vents for the sake of vents. ie not functional. I initialy was thinking the small low openings on the bar were just that. after some more thought I reckon the lower vents may actually help duct air past a big front mount intercooler.

the other vents next to the oil-cooler openings look less functional but I'd probably fit the fog lights in them anyway.

ЯX-8 02-08-2010 08:16 PM

I guess they're not complete yet! It seems like they take 1 step forward, and then go back 2 steps. Hopefully it'll be done soon..

SiLVeRE8 02-08-2010 08:27 PM

I like the second one better! So much cleaner without the two extra holes on the bottom

Rotr8 02-08-2010 08:33 PM

I agree, its alot more of a unified design now. I really like it now,,,

bumblebeerx8 02-09-2010 05:25 AM

Looks cleaner without them but may function to get air past a fmic

tiltmode43 02-09-2010 01:49 PM

So much cleaner, those vents were my problem with the bumper initially. Loving it!

pdxhak 02-09-2010 02:26 PM

Looks better but they can still clean it up some more. I would like to see them remove the other two small openings, reduce the oil cooler ducts a bit and smooth out the lower lip.

If they did that it wouldnt be a C-West design anymore,,,

pdxhak 02-09-2010 02:33 PM

It would be C-West with pdxhak's input :)

bumblebeerx8 02-09-2010 06:25 PM

i plan on putting fog lights in the small oil cooler openings

ЯX-8 02-13-2010 10:17 PM

Bump! I thought the car was going to be complete in time for the 2010 Auto Messe Show, which is this weekend.

SiLVeRE8 02-13-2010 10:44 PM

OMG this is f@cking sexy! I think this might just be the bumper I want

Must see it painted!!!

ZachLegend 02-14-2010 02:12 AM

Stoked!

RX8sd 02-14-2010 03:49 AM

it would look good with a big front mount inside.....otherwise maybe some back mesh? I'm loving that kit

ЯX-8 02-16-2010 08:59 PM

Bump! The kit looks like it's soon to be complete! I can't wait to see it finally painted..

lookin' quite good.

pdxhak 02-16-2010 11:47 PM

Looking better but still not liking the lower profile. I think it would look so much better if the lower lip went all the way around the bumper.

kersh4w 02-17-2010 12:38 AM

since they removed the other two holes it really looks familiar.. it has the same layout, but it is quite different. much more angular.

i like it a lot.

SiLVeRE8 02-23-2010 06:13 AM

bump for updates...?

ЯX-8 02-23-2010 09:54 PM

Bump! It seems that things have slowed down due to their other project (2009+ Honda Insight) that's also under developement for a new body kit. Hopefully the body kit will be complete sometime soon.
