I agree! These kits look more like conversion kits rather than body kits. Which reminds me of the Lambos and Ferraris that were really a Pontiac Fiero.

And yes between the 2 photos I would rather get the Ason Martin conversion.

So after taking a closer look, there are definitely subtle differences between the Type A and Type B models. While the A undeniably converts the 8 into something it's honestly not, I think the B is a very sleek look that serves the original purpose of a body kit: to accentuate the 8's natural good looks. It gets rid of the godawful stripe on the hood, opens the headlights up so that they're not just slits, and widens the openings on the front bumper.

All in all I'm very seriously considering the type B, and would love if anyone has any information on ordering to the US/accurate pricing

You know...if I was the designer of our beautiful RX8, I might be offended by what this kit does to the car. It completely destroys the vision of the 8. Body kits should accent the beauty of the car...not murder it. No point in doing this to the RX8. They should have used a less worthy car.

^^ actually I think the taillights are the worst of the whole package (I mean the Ducks Garden tails).
The RE Amemiya taillights are OK, but as it was said, they are so different from the RX-8 rear end that the car cannot even be considered an RX-8 as far as the exterior goes.

the more you look at it, the more i like it. i like the c pillar thing, love the fender stuff going on with the front. the doors look hot. and love that noone would be able to tell what you are driving. if you like to be different (which is the basis of a body kit usually) this is about as different as it gets. i love it. and id keep the stock tails, those just look too ricey to mee.... just my 1.45 cents

Im gonna do a little thread revival reall quick.

I like the Aston Martin body kit. But that "Mazdarati" kit is quit possibly the uggliest thing i have ever seen done to an rx8. Every freaking thing about it is just hideous. Everthing from the front to the tailights is a sin and a disgrace to the rx8. I seriously hope nobody actually bought this, and if you did....I feel sorry for you and even more for you car.

All I seem to like are the DG hood spoiler and the RE headlights. The rest looks pretty bunk.
