New Factory Body Kit?
 
I found this pic on Rotary News. I looks like a different front and side skirts. Anyone heard anything about this?

Those fenders are bad ass!!!! I wonder if this kit will ever come to market?

RENESIS_NEENJA 12-14-2005 09:27 AM

/puts on flame suit >_<

it's hot!!! but doesn't this look photoshopped to anyone else!? dunno something is off...looks like a c6/rx8, those even look like c6 wheels.. :icon_no2:

I went to rotary news myself and saw that. I like it alot. It's nice to see Mazda freshen up the Mazdaspeed kit. I think it's been needed as the original Mazdaspeed kit is starting to be played out. No offense to those that have it. I'm just glad to see something new. Hopefully it'll be available sooner than later.

looks like the INGS front, racingbeat sides with ferrari wheels...

i would like to see more of that spoiler they have on there though
is it me or is the front bumper higher then the sideskirts?

bascho 12-14-2005 11:36 AM

Does anyone know what kind of wheels those are. I think this is the best looking 8 I have ever seen and I think the wheels play a big role in that.

Moostafa29 12-14-2005 12:20 PM

That shinka is a bad INGS+1 knock off

rotarynews.com 12-14-2005 12:29 PM

Please don't hotlink to images on my box..... I already have don't enough bandwidth! :eek:

BlueEyes 12-14-2005 01:23 PM

Turn off hotlinking.

XDEEDUBBX 12-14-2005 02:39 PM

im digging the lip wing, but not the strakes

rotarynews.com 12-14-2005 03:41 PM

mods, could you please change the image to a link...

Rotary Rasp 12-14-2005 05:04 PM

Thats hot....why is it that Mazda seems to be the only one that can make a nice body kit?

Nemesis8 12-14-2005 05:17 PM

Concepts are meant to get you excited...

rotarynews.com 12-14-2005 05:22 PM

Thanks for moving the link,
I started to implement a hotlink rewrite rule, but :wq before I qa'd it... turns out recursive recursive RewriteCond's aren't too good for an old apache server... It was nice to see the Linux box recover from a load average of 50+ without rebooting though...

mikeb 12-14-2005 06:24 PM

I like those fenders
big time

ЯX-8 12-15-2005 12:49 AM

the front almost looks like a corvette bumper.

I absolutely agree 100%. I was going to post the exact same comment. I love the front bumper, the side skirt is so-so.

The only thing I see this resembling the ings kit is the side skirts. The front bumper is very original. :icon_tup:

zoom44 12-15-2005 09:44 AM

the sides are straight from Racing Beat imho

Petrus 12-15-2005 11:17 AM

The front looks lite a 350z merged with the rx-8... nice but then again ugly.

Japan8 12-15-2005 12:26 PM

I really hope Mazda comes out with this kit (and by the end of 2006... :fingersx: )...

rx8wannahave 12-15-2005 02:20 PM

REPOST!!!!! LOL...for once, I did it to someone else...lol

Check out the "New Mazdaspeed 8" thread...

Rx7Roadster 12-15-2005 03:35 PM

That doesnt count. Nobody checks the media news forum anyway.

SSJ 909 12-15-2005 04:39 PM

It remnds me alot of the front of the new Vette.
Either way it looks like the best front for the rx8 I have ever seen. Fukin awesome!

kw1k 12-15-2005 07:20 PM

looks badasss

I wonder how much its gonna cost

Raptor2k 12-15-2005 08:28 PM

How would we fit this 'body kit'? The fender is pushed in, and there are vents over the front wheels. And we have no idea what the rear looks like.

the fender dent thing is an aberation in the image. the fenders themselves have been changed as well but you dont need them to fit the bumper as they are the same in front of the tire. i have no idea what knowing how the back looks affects the fitting of the bumper

Raptor2k 12-15-2005 11:00 PM

I'm talking about the looks of the car, not just the bumper. The bumper and sideskirts will fit easily, yes. But I wouldn't mind having those new fenders, and the vents on the body just above the wheel (as opposed to vents on the hood). That's what I'm asking, is that possible?

rx8spiritR 12-16-2005 04:52 AM

i need that fender........
i really hope it'll come out like this, but i perfer our stock wheels instead of those....

Armaant 12-16-2005 03:25 PM

that kit is hot i'd take it in a second

yes and there will be actual photos before too long

Japan8 12-16-2005 11:27 PM

How long is that? Well either way the shows are quickly approaching next month... i just want to know if we can get more info before then... and can we convince Mazda to either supplement or replace the current MS kit with that blue one.

zoom44 12-16-2005 11:32 PM

i meant in a month when the show starts

maybeashinka? 12-18-2005 05:07 PM

no license plate, no chrome gas tank cover, no strakes. much better imo.

I like that miata

r0tor 12-19-2005 06:49 PM

i'd trade my car in for that miata...

fjmckeever 12-19-2005 11:23 PM

I love it...

Japan8 12-19-2005 11:40 PM

Nice photochop on the Miata and Mazda6. I like the look on both of them as well...

jaguargod 12-23-2005 06:57 PM

Did anyone ever figure out what wheels those are? Also, are there any spoilers like that in production now? That front fender looks much better than the guppy mouth stock one. I think they made it ugly like that just so everyone would buy the MS for $1200.

Nemesis8 12-23-2005 07:25 PM

Jay's EVO-R spoiler is the closest to date: https://www.rx8club.com/group-buy-center-85/closed-gb-evo-r-carbon-fiber-rear-lip-spoiler-74316/

Japan8 12-23-2005 11:07 PM

I dunno. Looking at the rear view pics of the Kenstyle kit... it uses the OEM "Euro style" lip spoiler. This may not be the same, but it doesn't seem totally out of the question either...

Nemesis8 12-24-2005 01:46 AM

Why is the side panel crease so high?

mikeb 12-24-2005 05:45 AM

i dont know but it looks like the veilside v1 kit but with a middle piece

DOMINION 12-24-2005 08:32 PM

IMO it looks to show for me.

olddragger 12-25-2005 12:45 PM

this is a good looking kit --i like the one without the strakes etc. only kit i have seen that i would consider
what wheels are those?
