MS Style kit $599, if you dare. :)
Just an FYI-
www.autoaccessorystore.com has their MS style fiberglass kits available for $599 retail. $475 wholesale. Shipping 150 to business, 190 to residential. If you're a daring soul unafraid of body work & possible fitment issues (quality may be good, just an assumption due to the price) might be a good option. Seen quite a few threads interested in a cheaper alternative, thought I'd let ya know. --Landon |
one forum member got the kit and posted pics
the price is great but I wonder how well that fiberglass will hold up |
that site looks like a$$ - I wouldn't order from them.
|
Dude that is cheap like a mother, who bought it from them? Do yo uknow Mikeb?

Who Bought Bodykit From Autoaccesory Store
six hundred dollars for a complete kit, dude, I heard someone bought from that site. I wonder how is that kit holding up.
Can the person that bought that kit, tell us about it? |
I think they are genuine salesman as they do post their own picture rather than borrowed ones... no one can garantee quality on copies though.
|
For that price it's almost worth the risk I would say (considering the price of the 'real' thing.)
|
Looks like a J-SPEC clone ... can see the exposed bumper foam ... also, judging by the way the the front bumper meets the headlights and fender, looks to me like $599 is about right.
|
you get for what you pay for...you pay with chicken shit, you get chicken shit...keep it real! don't fake the funk!!!
|
Are we looking at the same picture? It looks fine to me? How does it look like $599 is right? (Good observation on the J-Spec clone, though).

I really don't give a shit about this company or kit, but I just think it is insightful to find out why certain comments are made, and it wouldn't be good to sway someone from a product based upon assumptions alone. If the Rotary Extreme kit is classified as "faking the funk" too, (I think I just like typing that phrase :D ) no harm no foul. I think with this new of a market, (RX8 part market, that is) price is more of a function of economies of scale, rather than quality. The low quality assumption based upon price may be jumping the gun a bit.... --Landon |

well i was only interested in the sideskirts and i emailed them and they did reply me the very next day..... seems like theyre a legit company........
they said the sideskirts only cost 180 + 100 shipping..... That price is too good to be true? I imagine that it would be quite flimsy and needs some modding to fit......... but it still is really really cheap to at least take a stab and try? Anybody want to try so that i can make my decision? lol |
180 plus shipping? Hell...it's cheaper than an illuminated shift knob!......
I'm going to talk to a few local fibreglass / body guys before I consider this...but even with some work it might be worth it. |

Originally posted by BIU Why dont you make a trip down to the shop and look at the actual product? Then you can tell us if theyre a legit company, and if the pieces are really flimsy....... Please please please please ;) YES!!! Please! |
emailists : Since you are from that area.... if you could go check it out it would really help me and Sanguine...... we are really interested and we would most likely purchase if you can go down there and check it out.......... or better yet snap some pics!
:p |

Originally posted by Shocka https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...threadid=19466 sorta repost i guess.. I'll be the lab rat. I just called my performance shop to order it for me (so I can get the $475 wholesale price). I probably will build it up if it's flimsy, but if it seems ok, I'll just go right at it with the body work. I'll keep you all posted. I mean really, if it's total shit, all I'm out is $475 + 150 shipping. I'll keep you all posted. --Landon |

Please keep us posted! |
Definitely would love to know how it looks and holds up... FRP has always had me worried about cracking...
|
i'd be interested if the quality is right...
GO LANDON! |
