There are SO many pictures of other kits on this site. Just look around in the Exterior Mods section. Search for body kit pics.


Go get 'em Mugatu.

I really like the mazdaspeed kit, but everyone has that. I really like the prototype one with the deep side vents. That kit looks really sharp. Its on the site here just search prototype in just the titles, the car is blue.

I wouldn't do it. Find a place that takes CC, and save yourself the hassle of getting ripped off. Unless you know other people that have bought off of them.

fiberglass chips easily. its normal. that's why a lot of people get repaints every few months or get a clear bra.

prepainted kits, the only one out there is the Mazdaspeed, and yes it will match since its according to factory color.

The reason why we do not accept CC from overseas is because transactions are hard to monitor and litigate..

We only accept CC from Canada, USA.

We have many more products coming out for the rx8. so check our site out.
