nice one, trying to find this kit in the UK, googles not throwing much up...

Pugheaven 11-01-2012 06:32 AM

Looks like it's this one...

The one you linked is a replica. Try searching for Rx8 appearance package, aero whatever etc. It was a dealer option here in europe.

:cool: Will try and see how much and where I can get it from then. Don't want anything mental, just subtle.

This is an OEM aero kit, came from the dealer this way on certain RX-8's

monchie 11-01-2012 10:15 PM

I thought you put the wrong picture...lol

Anyway, as others already said...its oem :)

It's not called "Grand Touring." Grand Touring is just an option package. It doesn't include the pictured "APPEARANCE/AERO PACKAGE."

Mmmm, here's a similar kit and is just exactly what I'm looking for... anyone know the front, front arch protectors and side skirts? The skirts and front look like the ones above, however, what are the arch protectorsd?

Appearance package front lip and side skirts. With the AP, it should have included a larger rear "arch protector," no idea why it didn't on his. He has regular dealer option "mud flaps" for the front and rear "arches."

Blimey just trying to find these parts like on the white RX8 above and it's impossible... anyone know anywhere in the UK to get these? Google certainly isn't my friend at the moment.

EDIT: Right ordered the front and rear mud flaps... now to find the side skirts and front lip and I'm all done.

SayNoToPistons 11-04-2012 03:24 PM

Shouldn't be too hard to find as long as you're willing to pay for shipping across the pond. There's plenty used AP in the parts for sale section.

Pugheaven 11-05-2012 07:02 AM

I'm having a nightmare... the cheapest I can find in UK for a new front splitter is £250... then I'd have to spray it... it's only a small lip... just can't find anything elsewhere apart from one Polish seller on ebay that I linked to earlier...

Bloody hell...

monchie 11-05-2012 02:55 PM

I never like that rear mud flaps on that car. I like the ones I have... :)

Scroll down to "Mazda" and you'll find these. This is the normal "Appearance Package" front lip, side and rear (what we call it in the state). Your local Mazda dealer may be able to find this, it's also known as the "aero lip". All of these youre looking for came as a package from the dealership so you can find them from Mazda if they still have some available. These are all OEM.
