Stock Vs Kenstyle (hehe)

Haha sorry had to WarCrunk.
Met up with WarCrunk today to check out his fathers shop in Brighton MA. Here are some photo's figured I'd share.





p.s. Yes our cars are dirty. It just finished raining for the past 24hr's so sue us.

tell you the truth i'd pick the stock > kenstyle
don't get me wrong, you did a good job on your kit but the front is just not my cup of tea
on the other hand, the rear is sick

Yeah the front is love or hate it like most of the fronts for our baby. I think the AutoBahn is the only one that is universally liked.

I like the exhaust, but the rest of the car I prefer stock. The Kenstyle is still sexy.

Damnit Chris leave me be. lol.. Come April they'll have the 18's on.
I live in MA so the need to be somewhat high off the ground is essential, since its Pothole heaven in some towns. Though if I find a decent/awsome deal on coilovers I might do it hehe

That Kenstyle kit is growing on me, I was never a big fan of it when I first saw it.. But, it looks nice on the BB! Also, like Chris said, get some new wheels! Those stock 16's look funny with a body kit on..

the front of the Kenstyle kit is pure fail. sorry bro but the rest of the car looks good, The back is probably the best rear for the 8 aside from the Mazda Speed.

Rims / Drop is definately needed.

Front and rear spoiler look much, much worse than stock, IMO.

I Do like it in a way. Hmm It makes the car look more formal, classy? maybe..

Definitely rims would set it off though!

Clavius- Yes, I've searched, is it possible to just buy the kenstyle rear bumper? I can only find the kit as a whole...

RX8Racer- I have the European site which sells the body kit you have (in euros) however there is no purchase section. And I dont know if they accept American currency anyway. Could you provide me with a site which offers the kit you have? Again, yes I've searched.

Thank you both
