I think I found a body kit

I've been searching all over the net since I just got my RX8 about 2 weeks ago for all sorts of mods and I think I found a kit finally.



I couldn't get the picture of the rear to load

The one above is called Revolver JDM. I've been thinking of this one as well, Buddy Club Aero

It must be. It looks dead on. I'm new to the game so I don't know much, well anything actually.

Buddy club one isnt my style personally. To give you some more ideas, the kits that I like are Auto Bahn, tsunami, ings-net, Mazdaspeed, autoexe.

Do not get the replica Rmagic bodykit. People have said that the replica costs a lot of money for paint and fitting. If you are going for any kit, make sure to get the authentic one. You must consider labor and paint with replicas.

I found the body kit shown on the white car for $1,599 on one website and for $1,200 marked down to $960.00. Both websites claim to be authentic. Should I be weary on the lower price? Here is a link to both

Ya most companies dont care about the quality of the stuff they get. They just want to get the cheapest crap they can find and sell it to you for as much as possible. Thats why you will have nearly non existent customer support when you try to call in with an issue.

i didnt say flaw.....apparently you misunderstood my point....knock off kits are harder to fit perfect and require more labor in the install point making the initial savings seem like nothing because you spend more in the end and still have a sub-standard product......if you go with the real deal there is little to no modification or fit issues and you wind up paying less.....sometimes you get lucky.....most times you wont
