Leg Sport RX-8 Vision

Got Leg Motor Sport's kit installed for my Titanium Gray S1 and I must say it looks absolutely killer! Leg Motor Sport is a tuner in Hiroshima focused on Mazdas and the 86 platform. They've been on Hot Version a couple of times with their RX-8 and Miata and got good feedback from the judges for the handling balance of their setups.

My car has the full aero kit from Leg Motor Sport (front Vision bumper, rear GT-A Club Sport bumper, front / rear Club Sport fenders, V2 side skirts). I got the DRL package, front carbon canards, and rear carbon diffuser strakes to tie everything together.

Ordered the parts from Footwork Autosport (bulk of the aero) and Rotary Love (side skirts and eyelids) and both were great to deal with. Pricing was good with reasonable shipping costs to North America. The full aero took about 6 months to show up at my body shop and it was another month or so for the install (body guy got it done in a week, bless his heart). Overall fitment was really solid, but the big parts (bumpers and fenders) needed some clean up and filling to be ready for paint.


I also have a vented carbon hood from R Magic, OEM Mazdaspeed wing with aftermarket Feast Power risers, and backed out headlights and Odula eyelids to clean up the front end. Also used Tacoma OEM rubber trim to line the overfenders for a more "OEM" finish. I'm super happy with how it turned out, the car is now so aggressive and exotic looking. It turned the clock forward so much that it looks right in place alongside all the new Mazdas today. It's like if Mazda made a 2022 RX-8 "RS".

Need to trim the edge off of the rear overfenders as that's fouling against the rear tires over big bumps, otherwise driveability has been great so far. Car definitely feels more stable at speed. Excited to get her PPFed and sorted so I can do more cars and coffees, backroad runs and track days.

Hope you enjoy and let me know if you have any questions!


Front 3/4, super aggressive and modern


All the vents from the rear 3/4 view


Side profile is great too (featuring a clean FD I bumped into)

Definitely a unique look but the work looks very well done.
Congrats
