Help me find/make this kit!

Just cruising around and saw this rx8 kit - I don't care for the rear end, but the front bumper and quarterpanels... I rather like the clean lines!

Anyone know where I can get those quarterpanels or name of brand?



EDIT: Noticed that this was RX8 concept design... if anyone know's a brand that makes or can make quarter panel's such as these, please advise!

Looks a lot like the AutoEXE SE-02 front end, with the Accolade fenders. Then I would go with the Ings skirts and OEM rears and DONE.

Wow not even close to the SE-02, or INGs sides,,,

It is however the Accolade kit, http://www.body-kit.com/maz06rx8cspec.html they made it off the RX8 C-Spec kit that Mazda released as a proposed 2nd MS kit back in 06, just follow the link and you are on your way to purchasing, but be warned Accolade doesnt have the best rep for fitment,,,

Great, thanks! Although they are slightly different as compared to the original with more edges as opposed to the more rounded shape - it's the closest thing I'm sure I can get! I'll just have to have a body shop do all the work I suppose...

Now all I need are englarged fender strakes!! Would you know where to pick those up?

Well since it's a matter of opinion I wouldn't expect us to agree but it sounded like the OP wasn't interested in the rear/skirts so I suggested the INGS\OEM rears to compliment the nose end..

I thought the SE02 looks similar, minus the part under the front openings/fender vents

the rear bumper has cutouts for larger exhaust tips by the looks of it... similar to the mazdaspeed rear bumper

Just found out that Accolade makes the strakes as well for anyone interested. While I'm on the subject of the car posted above - any insight on the brand of wheels?

btw - I hate to sound like a copy cat, but I think the car listed is exactly what I'm looking for!

I have read up on it - and although it seems it needs work, that's not exactly something new with replica body kit manufacturer's. Besides, who else makes aftermarket fenders for this car?

Wheels look to be the Mazdaspeed wheels. No longer in production, take a search around on the forum to find it. It's based off another brand of wheels, I don't remember which (Advan?)

well they aren't advan wheels as I looked around and didn't find any matches, but thanks for the headsup. At least I know what to look for and that's all I really need (provided they have a TPMS fitting...)

Panspeed, c-spec, duck garden, hisource...

Not to badmouth accolade, but I came across a set of fenders about a year ago before I had my new kit installed and painted. The bodyshop literally wouldn't touch them, they said they would probably have to rebuild most of the fender to close gaps and have it mount correctly.
