i need help in deciding which one do you guys think would go best with white rims and overall best price

 

i think option 1 is the best
what about you guys? also does anyone know how to get angel eyes for the rx8?

 

and what exactly did you need/want?

 

im just looking for like the overall best style in your opinions because im new to this. like for option 1 would all that work? and do you suppose it would look all look good in white?

 

body kits are subjective....so you need to pick what you like and go for it....be an individual and buy what you like....just try and stay away from knock offs because they will run you into fit issues and can cost almost as much as the real thing

 

okay one important question left than lol. i really like how the buddy club aero kit looks from the front and rear, but i dont understand how the rear looks. like are there any other pictures that you have because i dont see an exhaust in the picture at all

 

yea, best style is very subjective. just go for what you like man.

 

oh and a comment is that the mint blue rear and side look sooo goooood. actually a question too. any ideas what would suit it better than the front bumper it already has?

 

the exhaust will come through the grille area. may require cutting grille or not putting grille there at all. kinda funny that it's not pictured.

 

that looks pretty nice, need exhaust redone probably though. hmm are there any cheaper prices for the RE Amemiya? for the front bumper with fog lights? and spoiler

 

you pay for quality.....there is very little shopping around my friend

 

I agree with chrism, the more you pay the better quality you get, the less you pay the cheaper krap you get. Its all about your opinion. Go with something you really like. If you like option 1 the best, then go for it.

 

ive seen the mint blue kit, its pretty squared off...doesnt really match the lines of the car.. but yeah its all about what you like and think looks good.. haha like napoleon dynamite says "just follow your heart, thats what i do"

 

Think of your car like a good looking women, its got some nice curves so you want something that would fit those curves, not something that just looks thrown on there. It doesnt look too pleasing to see a beautiful women with crappy looking clothes that are too baggy and look out of place right? Think of your car the same way.

As mentioned before, you get what you pay for. You gotta remember that and live by it if you want to do a good job modifying your car. You are taking the wrong approach to modifying if you pick something you like and try to find the cheapest price you can on it. Shopping around should be figuring out the parts you want. Once you know what you want, then go and find the most reputable distributor/dealer/merchant you can and get the part there.

Dont rush into anything especially when it comes to performance parts or things that affect the drive ability or performance of your car. You may really like a particular body part and in all honesty a poor quality body kit or wing wont prevent you from driving your car or inhibit your safety at all. However, a crappy turbo, or cut or knock-off springs, crappy brakes/rotors, etc will affect how your car drives. If your life and car depend on certain parts working as best as they possibly can, DONT shop around for cheap stuff.

On the other hand, you can shop around for a good price within a certain range for certain products. For instance a certain part may cost a $1000, you could go to a reputable company and find an authentic product for $800 - $900. If you see it for $500, then you know thats a knock-off.

An easy way to spot knock-offs is when the companies name their products m-speed, m-style, ms-style, m1 speed, etc.

That Carbon Creations wing is a knock-off Mazdaspeed wing.

A good thing to do is to plan out your project, your costs, and budget for them. Do alot of research before you spend your money, you may get really excited and want to buy something cheap just to have it. But put it off until you do your research and you create a budget for it. You're gonna have much better results in the end and be far happier with your car.

And dont look to others to tell you how your car should look. I personally dont really like the Mint Blue kit, or Fabulous, or Kenstyle, or a number of other kits. But dont look to me for my opinion. Look at what you like best and find the best quality parts you can for it.

Long post but I thought I would share a little bit of advice and info regarding modifying to help you go in a better direction.

 

^^^^well said. i completely agree with what Shadow said

 

yeah thats some good words that were said,
i figured the car handles welll to the road so i wanted something that looked like it draped down to the road, thats why i went with the ab flug sides.. and i liked how the rear bumper accented the rear flares...
so yeah, do you what you feel best goes with your car and style and doesnt go against the look of the car... but then again its your opion with our suggestions i guess.

 

wow that has got to be one of the best posts i have read
