Is it definite that there WILL be a Mazdaspeed version of the Rx8? What mods will be made to the Rx8 to be called Mazdaspeed Rx8?

front bumper extension
Do you guys notice the Road and track Mazdaspeed 8 has an extension in the front bumper, while the rx8 forum members' kit doesn't, is there two different versions of the mazdaspeed front bumper?

Mazdaspeed Kit and Speed Bumps
I know someone was asking about the appearane package with speed bumps. I am curious about the mazdaspeed kit with speed bumps.
I know the kit is lower than the apearance package, how do they fair in the real world. This is important to me since it would make or break my decision to get one of those kits or not. If I couple the Mazdaspeed kit with suspension kits, would the clearance be too low and make scrapping more likely?

ur gunna scrape no matter what eventually. just angle and take bumps slowly... slopes also take in the same approach. it will be considerably low so watch out for those cement blocks in parking lots

would it be possible for you to measure how much clearance there is between the ground and the side skirts?

RX8 HA HA
yea like he said...it will eventually scrape,yea it looks cool now but in about 6 months you'll probably have to go back to the paint shop to get it repainted...look at 9deeps car...that **** is low already and i think the suspension is still stock. good luck!

I wanted a body kit so bad before, but on friday
i was out with my friend and i drove him to bank in a very crowded place to pick up some cash.
i park in a tiny spot in the backalley of the bank.
when i back out i try to turn wider so i can exit the alley easier, but damn the surface is very uneven (like a little round bump on the road) and i scatch the bottom of the car (woo my heart hurt).
THE CAR IS ALL STOCK.
NOW I DONT WANT A BODYKIT OR SUSPENTION AT ALL!!!!

I agree with mikeb.....I hit every speed bump at an angle just as a precaution even though I still have good ground clearance, however as soon as you lower it speed bumps will become your worst nightmare.

Chuck I want a side pic of the 8
Chuck I assume that you still have the stock wheel with the MS body kit.
Can I have a picture side on to see if the stock alloy wheel matches the MS bodykit?

Re: Chuck I want a side pic of the 8
I don't have any other pictures at the moment. The whole bodykit is already off the car to get the molds done.

i dunno much about material... so please excuse me
which one is heavier abs plastic or polyurethane??
as u stated polyurethane is more flexible then abs plastic, so it can hold longer compare to abs plastic??
and does carbon fibre crack?
