Need opinions on putting new look.
Hi guys, I'm kinda new on the forum and all... I own my 8 for a bit over half a year and I think I'm gonna start throwing some stuff on it to make it look clean.
I see alot of people with bodykits and lips... but I am planning to lower my car eventually with aftermarket springs+shocks so... I don't wanna drive like my retarded friends.. cleaning the street with their bumper as they drive
I was wondering if anyone can gimme some ideas and opinions on the combinations I am thinking to put on my car.
Front: http://www.neweraparts.com/Default.a...&ProductID=582
Rear:http://www.srmotorsports.com/MazdaSpeed-RX8.html
Sides:
Spoiler:
I don't have anything in mind for sides and spoiler yet... I don't like anything too flashy and I would want to have everything at the same height when I look at the car from the sides...
Any advice, opinions and help on better website for lower prices would be appreciated

If you want function, clean lines and not too flashy, you should go with the complete genuine Mazdaspeed kit. Expect to spend around $3K but it looks like it came from the factory. Its about 1.5" lower in the front and sides so you can still lower the car .75-1" and not have any clearance issues. https://www.rx8club.com/members/highway8-36764-albums-thunderhill-april-09-667/ The best prices i have found are at www.mazda-parts.com/speed and it comes pre-painted for most colors, so no body work or painting required, which means no unexpected expenses.

ehh, i'm not a fan of that lip on the front, but that's just my opinion.
Some people absolutely hate my car, some people love it...so ya I'd say go with that lip kit, it seems to get a lot of complements on this site and it won't be over-flashy.
