That is my favorite kit for the 8. Keeps it clean and stock with just enough extra to set it apart, and although it might not do much, I'm sure that lip does more than most aftermarket fronts.

That kit kicks ***. If you had a small CF "sitting-on-top-of-the-trunk" or maybe a 1 to 3 inch high wing/spoiler, it'd really tie it all together as a good looking, functional light racing aero-kit.

Oh well.....its cheaper there....BUT, customs here charge 40% duty over the purchase price.......
I think i'll make my future purchases via Japanparts anyways........ Depending on availability over here in Malaysia of course...... If Japanparts.com could deliver faster, than by all means i'll buy it thrugh them.

I took those stripes off the same day i took those pics......
I'm still deciding on what to do bout the sides..... Maybe RE-Amemiya sides or INGS sides.....
As for the rear, KENSTYLE perhaps..... still need to make my mind up......

Very Nice
I love that AutoExe CF front Splitter
How much clearance off the ground do you get with that front?
Is the clearance that big of a difference from the appearance pac. front?
If not i might be very tempted to join this rare club

Oh yeah....1 comment bout the AutoEXE lip......
Fitment was PERFECT...... only took me 15mins to install..... Mounts into stock bumper lower wheel-well bumper inner wheel cover mounts (need to replace plastic clip with bolt 'n' nut)....... Whole lip just slides on with no distortion at all....
Gotta hand it to the guys from AutoEXE..... Quality is TOP NOTCH !!!!

My 2005 that had the full AutoExe CF kit is now totaled and (hopefully) resting peacefully somewhere. Suddenly it's that much more rare on this forum. I'm being "lame" and going with the Mazdaspeed kit on my 2008.

It's about the same. You just need to be aware that it sticks out further so approaching those big driveway curbs has to be done at an angle or you'll shred it.

i'll have to keep the driveway thing in mind before i do get the autoexe cf splitter
So Sorry to hear about your 1st 8
and the MS kit is still a very nice looking kit.

i had seibon replica and i managed to split mine in half on a parking stop, but regular scrapes on the road from driveways and speed bumps were not really a problem, it did scratch up the bottom a little but the lip remained intact, just dont hit it with anything straight on or the it'll crack in half between the V on your bumper and whatever your hitting
