to be honest.... I got lucky on a ebay auction. Its a mazda speed style sides skirts and the front lip was just a polyeurethane lip as well.

They were crazy flexible. The body shop said they were really easy to fit due to the flexibility. I paid like 130 for the lip and 170 with shipping for the side skirts. I will look online later today and see if I can find the same parts from that ebay seller. I know the seller specializes in Mazda rx8 aftermarked body kits.

Titus the car looks great.... especially the front lip, its a cross between R-magic and Burnout... IDK if you would like this idea, but a few body kit companies make a universal splitter.... I would say get one for the front so that the lip on the MS sides go around the car....

Here is one from extremedimensions.... I know there kits are crap but this is just a flat splitter... should be ok...

here is the link to one of the auctions: this was is for 199.00, but occasionally you will see one for 169.00. The Company has a couple different Ebay user names. This is for the front lip.

Here are the side skirts. The Seller is "carparts255." I gave them a best offer in which they accepted for like 185 I think.

I know I was taking a chance on buying aftermarket parts on ebay, but I did some research on each of the sellers and emailed some of recent buyers of the same rx8 parts and they said they were pretty good, and seemed to be easy to fit. So, I figured I would go for it. :o) With the new Tires/Rims I needed to bulk up the front and lower the sides without spending $2000.00, and I felt I got what I was looking for. If you guys have a body shop that you trust I would recommend these parts. They Dont come with hardware, so thats why I say a body shop you trust, because they will know exactly how to mount them. My place here, used a few screws on the inside of the fender, which you can't see since they are black. They used 3M Autobody tape along the side skirts.

I guess the next thing would be to maybe drop the car a little bit on either Eibach or Tein S Springs.. Alucard I believe you have the Eibach. How do you like them? Did they give you the amount of drop you were looking for? Did you notice a harder ride with bumps and so forth?

thanks

Yea, I am dropped on the Eibach pro-kit... It was the perfect setup that I was looking for. The ride is perfect, its alittle bumpy (what you would expect from a drop)... its not bothersome at all and infact it drives more like a higher end sports car now... I love them
