Noob looking for best place to buy parts

Hey guys, I am a complete noob and I need your help, for those that want to 'spice' up their 8s, where do you begin? For example, I am looking to get some body parts, such as front bumpers, sides, spoilers, etc. where do I go for these? anybody recommend a website that they had no problem with? I live in Canada btw (Ottawa). Would be appreciated if someone can help me in the baby steps.

Look for what you want on the site here, and then go directly to the manufacturers. Pretty much all "one stop shop" websites have reliability and trustworthiness problems.

Just stick with the sites on here. Buy from a random online shop and you will never see your parts, just like RIWWP said.

I was not even aware we had websites here. I am trying to look for things to buy for my 8 but I am having a hard time searching for them on random sites online. For example I am looking for the mazdaspeed front bumper and rear, and also the spoiler.

Japan-Parts is the way to go for authentic body kits, but Shine Auto Project makes some good fitting replicas as well. If you're looking specifically for authentic Mazdaspeed parts, good luck because most online stores and vendors don't carry them anymore. You'll have a better chance finding them on the For Sale/Wanted section here than a random online store that claims to have them "in stock".

def not looking for authentic, only replicas. no matter where I look online it always takes me to Duraflex, and I read alot of reviews saying how bad their mazda rx8 parts were, some dont even fit (ms front bumper, rear, and spoiler)

If you Google 'rx8 oem appearance package' there is a guy here who sells them out of Toronto at a fair price. That is, if your 8 doesn't already have it. I just picked up the oem spoiler
