Hi All,
Just bought my new RX8 at the weekend, and want a lower front lip and a rear side skirt... seen this one, but what kit is it?

aaronspeed

Everything I see is the Stock Grand Touring kit

Pugheaven

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

Pugheaven

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.

Pugheaven

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

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."

Pugheaven

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.

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.

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

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

Pugheaven

Piccie please

monchie

It's just oem...that's all

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.

Very sweet... that looks well mean that low... what springs you get?

bse50

Monchie is rx8club.com's village fool.
He just cut his springs.

Pugheaven

Ive just been on that thread lol... well, suppose if it works... wonder what it handles like, he seems to think fine...

monchie

I've been driving it for 2 years now... no problems at all.

Pugheaven

Cool... well, doesn't surprise me, my mate did his on an old Ford XR2a few years ago... and it handled fine, depends where you cut them as well... nice cheap mod that mate.

monchie

^ I know...

Pugheaven

Cheers for the advice guys and here's the results (got the lip and side skirts cheap from Poland, went straight on... £150 notes... will post better pictures when it's not raining and car's covered in mud lol
