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.

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.

^^ 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!

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.

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.
