I have read that in Japan this kit is an option from the dealerships.

The fitment is considered OEM.

NGO can you attest to this?



Only thing that bothers me about this setup is the fog light location is directly in front of the oil coolers.

You are 100% correct; if you'd attended this years Tokyo Auto Salon and visited the MAZDA exhibit; there were row after row of laptops setup where you could add all the Options to your "virtual" MAZDA, and that would generate a picture of the car with the Parts on it, in the Color you wanted, ( and a price )

The Kenstyle Kit is a Post-manufacture MAZDA Dealer option in Japan ( we sell the JDM RX8's New )

I agree, its the worst front of any body kit, even worse than the veilside.

Here's a real picture of the front:
Looks even worse in person especially with carbon fibre colored splitters. They should just add the carbon fibre hood an good 100% riceboy.
