you need this now:

http://www.fujitaengineeringusa.com/rx8.html
a black grill
paint the bar poking through the front bumper black, Plastidip will do the trick perfectly.
maybe some clear coners, but it really isnt necessary with red cars
Third brake light from Lebren
more black mesh to fill the hole in the rear bumper
EDIT: you also need some kei office eyelids

Okay, ready for some questions?

How much $ was the front fitment and paint?

How much $ was the sides fitment and paint?

What brand is the MS replica spoiler? Ive been looking all over for one that fits decent but im scared to pull the trigger, is it a CF or frp spoiler? How much $ did you pay and where did you get it from?

Can you measure how low the front bumper is to the ground at its lowest point? I can measure my friends car to see how much lower this front bumper is.

All in all, im really happy that the community swerved you away from that horrid matrix design you wanted to do. You now have a pretty nice looking car.

Just picked up this kit a few weeks ago. Shipping was super fast, got it in exactly a week from when I ordered it. Hoping to get it to the paint shop next week. Fitment was great, about 8.5/10... the bad being the corner lights. I decided to shave them though, so it wasn't a big deal anyway. Only other issue was a slight gap around the inside corner of the headlights. The sideskirts were nearly perfect. Gonna put together a build thread once I get the parts back and installed.

Are these guys still in business? The feedback about their kits seem to be good. I've read to steer clear of the ED kits. These Shine kits appear to be the best bang for my buck. Any negative reviews?
