so I got the side skirts on and finaly had a chance to post some pictures, I also got my JDM yellow super mad tight fog lights installed, lol













So there she is......

 

Looks real nice, who manufactures that kit? And where did you buy from?

 

very nice indeed

what does it say on your front bumper though?

 

all i have is the front nose and side skirts, they are all OEM Mazda parts, its just the mazdaspeed body kit, I got them from Rosenthal mazda, they are a vendor on this site.

The figures posted about half way up are on the dash.

 

the nose of the bumper says "Yeah, It's Got A Hemi" inside joke, its off for the moment though, Ill post more pictures from our photoshoot in tampa later.

 

Very Nice dude! So are you sticking with the primer'd hood for sure? It looks pretty good.

 

Nice car bud. Nice fogs too.

 

Thanks everyone, no im not sticking with the black satin primer. I have decided that I am going to do the center rotor shape in body match silver, and the rest of the hood in the black clearcoat like the black rx8. I just have to make the time to pop the hood off and take it to the shop to get painted, Im going to try to get it done by the end of the year.

Next I gotta order my MS rear.

thanks everyone, I know its pretty plain/borring with the MS kit, but I love the look and Im one of those 'JDM fools'

 

Soooooooo hot...My car is in one of those!!!!!!!!

 

ooo an original mazdaspeed kit..it's hella exspensive.

when you install it...is any drilling required?

 

Those night pictures are cool and evil looking.

 

I know the mazdaspeed kit isnt original, and some would say its 'played out' but I just love the looks of it, and how much it transforms the car. I think its the way the car should come from the factory.

The front nose was a direct bolt on, but to mount the stock foglights in it you have to get the brackets, they require you drill 3 holes for each fog light, and cut the grill and duck around the oil coolers (not to hard). The side-skirts require you drill 8 holes for each skirt, 4 on the side, 4 under the car, you also have to cut the rock guard under the car and affix some clips to the back fender area (not hard, but you just have to be pretty exact with the drill.

Next up is the rear diffuser and wing, stay tuned.

 

JDM is definately the only way to go with these cars

 

very nice! im lovvin it

 

did i hear right? ur hoods primer'd? not cf?

 

his hood is cf
nice car man
whats next

 

"quote" Very Nice dude! So are you sticking with the primer'd hood for sure? It looks pretty good.

wuts that mean then? im confused..

 

cool thanks for the info i am always weary of drilling hoels in my baby...haha mostly b/c it's a lill hard to fix once you drill in the wrong place ... btu i guess this is where teh whoel measure twice cut once mantra comes into effect

again....the car looks great

Don't pay them internet jockeys who say it is played out any mind.

To be honest, there may be dozens of pics of the Mazdaspeed kit on the net and hundreds of threads on forums mentioning the kit (because it looks so sweet), and after a while it does get mind numbing.

But get off the computer and try to remember how many Mazdaspeed 8's have you see in real life rolling on everyday streets and highways? Rarely to never.

You're doing a great job with the kit and although they are in a different class, Ferrari 360 Modena's, 911 TT's, and Mercedes SL55's are more played out than a Mazdaspeed 8 on the public roads.

Keep up the tight work

 

thanks, and again the hood is just primer black right now, I plan to paint it gloss black and paint the center rotor shape body match silver, and then clear coat the whole thing.

 

damn it, again on my GF screen name, this is KYLiquid

 

he fools alot of people with that primer colored hood..hahah

 

^ yup, you wouldn't know it was primer'd if you didn't read his other thread or see my post.

It looks pretty good as primer'd on his car.

 

no kidding man you've got an insane amount of jdm stuff

probably not as much as mine when im done muahaha
