Thanks! Unfortunately, it took about 3 months to get the kit. It can be ordered through Speed Alliance http://www.speedalliance.com/Merchan...ode=lang_mazda or mazdaparts.com.

The trunk is stock with the Vertex rear lip spoiler. It might look a little different because I had the emblems removed. :)

Wow dude. :D

HERO 05-15-2005 02:14 PM

... wow :eek:
more pics of the spoiler please :D

Outlaws eXtreme 05-15-2005 02:44 PM

Very nice.. I think it looks better than the Vertex White RX-8... Flows better with the Black. :P

Outlaws eXtreme 05-15-2005 02:45 PM

Exhaust... what is that now? A new HKS tip exhaust? Those tips look huge... hope they don't do anything to the rear!

the stock exhaust tips were a little underhung and were almost touching the inside of the bumper. So he changed the tips out for some HKS Titanium tips. The fit now is perfect. Looks bad ass! Wish I can get some ti tips! (hint hint)

Petrus 05-15-2005 07:34 PM

Thatīs one seriously good looking 8!!! Excellent choice imo.

jrb_dakine 05-15-2005 11:56 PM

Mike

The car looks TIGHT!!!!!!!!!

Now it makes me want a kit. :) :) :) :) :)

Tamas 05-16-2005 12:23 AM

It looks great.

One question... is this kit made of fiberglass or urethane?

XDEEDUBBX 05-16-2005 12:29 AM

Thanks... bummer. Another candidate is out then.
Sigh... I really like the way this one looks though.

IZoomZoomI 05-16-2005 02:05 AM

don't be so dissapointed, japanese fiberglass are higher quality and way more flexible than the cheap fiberglass you've seen on civics.

cgrx 05-16-2005 02:07 AM

Fucking Gorgeous ~!

Rotary Rasp 05-16-2005 02:13 AM

I need to change my pants.

It's still fiberglass. For me, that equals no-no.

Here are a couple a bad pics I just took, but it should be good enough to get an idea:

XDEEDUBBX 05-17-2005 12:27 AM

dam that wing is sick!!

DynamicDookie 05-17-2005 12:40 AM

i like that spoiler.

how does the lip mount, tape? any fitment issues with the overlap of the lip onto the fender area?

XDEEDUBBX 05-17-2005 12:49 AM

are you talking about the front? There is no lip. The kit consists of a entire front bumper, rear bumper, sideskirts and wing....

TR1GGERx1 05-17-2005 12:53 AM

the wing is clean. i likee i likeee

shawrf1 05-17-2005 01:00 AM

If I had a black '8 & could do it all over again, that's what it'd look like! Sweet!

X-SIN-X 05-17-2005 08:04 AM

A different look at what this kit can look like. Custom Foglight kit I wired myself. FE3P Nice looking 8, great taste in color and kit

After seeing your car, I knew I made the right choice! :)

Thanks again for the license plate bracket info. I ended up doing it a little different, but thanks nevertheless!
