MN new body kit for 05 wwp rx8

i was thinking about the ait mint blue. dont really have much cash to spend. up to $700 on a full kit?? got the car from an auction and trying to fix the damage myself and looking to add a few mods after. looking for any advice on kits that look good on a wwp. anyone know of some replicas with decent fitment?

Look into shine auto project, Heard pretty good things about their fitment. As far as what looks good on a WWP... just look through our multimedia section, theres a ton of pic's.

took a look at auto shine and couldnt find any galleries but not really feeling the kit either. it looks nice but still a little out of my price range. anything cheaper would suck huh? or maybe if i cross my fingers i could get something decent?

Just remember that when you purchase authentic exterior parts you are purchasing peace of mind when installing them. Yes, replicas are cheaper up front, by in the long run you might end up paying close to the real thing after body work/ paint

Aitracing mintblue kits fit bad... I have the Accolade cspec and I am pretty happy their quality and fitment, but the fenders i hear on one side the passenger requires additional work to fit.

i have the AIT Mint Replica. Here for $474 shipped. Look at my profile album it fit pretty good. But again, like everyone else says, more $$$ = better fitment.

I didn't install it. I had a body shop do it. They said it was average labor for the body kits they've installed. Not better, not worse.
