Yea how was the fitment regarding the corners? Byako and myself tried fitting it but the corners wouldnt quite line up. didnt help that is was 30 degrees outside. If you have any input on hows yours went I can make progress on having mine finished with fitment and off to paint.

Where did you order it from? How was the customer service?

I myself have been thinking about getting this kit recently (too hard to get the leg motorsport bumper and lip)

Nice pick up

well i haven't test fitted the kit yet so i really wouldn't know at all. the kit is still sitting on my living room floor. i'm hoping to get the car and the kit dropped off this week or next. i'll keep you guys informed once i know.

I really Like the vertex kit... I'm very interested to see more pics of the rear... (I'm not 100% sold on the rear)

also I like the wing! I normally don't like those sort of wings but this one goes with the shape of the rx8 very nicely.

Your car is sick btw.

Either would be fine. I got the RB solely for the weight savings. Saved over 25lbs with the Two Piece rotors and calipers.
