per nSanity, the Scottish bloke who ordered an original FEED kit, it took 8 weeks, but he said it was worth the wait.... and he is in Scotland.

I assume it would be faster to ship to the US..... probably takes 4 to 5 weeks to the US.

Since ShineAuto replicas have good reputation for good fitment, I would not worry about a FEED replica by Shine.
I actually just meant the shape of the kit itself, not the fitment. For instance, if you are looking at a stright profile shot, before the front wheel the bottom of the kit seems to angle up, after the wheel the side skirt doesn't seem to line up (because the front doesnt look level at the bottom corners). Sorry, its hard to describe, I should just use Paint on one of the photos, but I am trying to write a thesis :/

I think is is a matter of light and shadows. For instance, in the picture below, the front bumper profile is straight and NOT angled up versus the side skirt.

Here's another picture of the front bumper, the bottom of which is actually in line with the side skirts.

But again, there is a play of light and shadows and the front bumper seems angled up at first glance.

Ahh f*ck you f*ckers for making it so hard to resist!

Thanks for those pics, that clears it up, it was indeed a magicians light and shadows throwing me off. If only I hadnt bought my $1200 winter tires that I used for 2000 miles and decided to move to Atlanta, I could have this on my car! grrr.

BTW, was this designed for Ti Grays or something?

It looks like not everyone is doing the FEED skirts. I'm thinking of going with the RacingBeat skirts instead of FEED's. Any opinions on which looks nicer?

RB skirts look good. However, it is customized to match the RB front (especially the length). The RB skirts look shorter compared to the FEED skirts.

If that is the case, then a FEED front and RB sides combination would NOT be ideal.

I'm 100% certain that ShineAuto is down with that because it means extra business for him.

BTW, I do not see your name in the list. Join the list now so we can get this project on the road.

We need ONE (1) more forward-looking, hardcore RX8 owner to possess this unique and reasonably priced body kit that you can be proud to show to everyone, not to mention that you will be most likely the only one in your block, city, or state to have this body styling.

Not sure I understand by the length. The skirts hit only the front and rear fenders not the front nose section. Do you mean the height or drop of the skirts not visual aligning?

Speaking of the drop, do we know the clearance of the FEED kit? I'm installing coilovers and will be dropping the car a bit.

Yes, I think the height or drop of the skirts will not visually align with the height or drop of the FEED front bumper.

It seems that the FEED front bumper height will be lower that the RB skirts. This is just my opinion. But the RB skirts look really nice and more stylish.

Suggest to PM nSanity because he is the only one that I'm aware of, who has the original FEED body kit installed.

But judging from the pictures of his FEED kit, it looks like FEED has a higher ground clearance than say the INGs kit. Dropping the FEED a little probably will make it look even meaner and more sexy.

Yea.. comparing them again I think you're right. The FEED skirt definitely looks to be lower. The RB skirt might look pretty odd or at least get the "something doesn't look right" itch in the back of the brain.

RICO 8 are on onboard? Please say yes!
