It seems that everyone is asking about the Racing Beat Rear Spoiler, well here it is from Sevenstock :p

 

what sides/rear are those?

 

that looks so normal. nothing "unique" aobut it

 

The rest of the RB kit.

 

I had the same response also, but it grows on you a little.

 

The front clip looks like a Chrysler product with that bar across the grill.

 

Hey Nemesis8, How'd the rest of the trek north go?

 

didn't know they had an entire kit..nice!

 

Zoom44 and I made good time and hit Redding at Midnight. Got up and headed into Oregon and hit some rain. We took those 50 MPH curves in the passes at classified speeds. The 8 loves curves.

 

I'm still out to lunch on the kit as a whole. The moved the fog lights inward also.

 

Now that spoiler I like... When will it be available? and How Much?

 

I thought the RB kit was rather unspectacular but the more I looked at it I saw many aspects that were really appealing.

First the fit looked excellent. There were no unsightly gaps and the fitment was superior to the port installed OEM package. Also the nose, while a little plain was solidly built and maintained adequate ground clearance. The lip was a little notchy to me but matches the lines of the rest of the kit. My overall impression was it looks stock. my .02

 

looks domestic

 

that is one cool looking 8.

 

Sorry, I do not know.

 

I like the kit...I like the Mazdaspeed kit better, and in fact I think I like the Appearance Package + Mazdaspeed spoiler (what I have) a bit better as well...but I do like it. It looks like it came from the factory.

Then again, I tend to hate all the overtly flashy boy racer kits like Veilside, et al so if you like that kind of thing I can see why this one would be a bit of a let-down.

I totally agree with you on that point. No gaps at all - it seemed very well made to fit snug. They said that the spoiler was actually functional in creating downforce, rather than some big wing designs that could actually lift the car.

 

same here, I think it's too normal, I like X-men spoiler the best.

 

Functionally this kit seems superior to OEM. The nose protects the radiator a little better and covers the bumper reinforment bar without trim or a false grill. Like other RB products, you can't fault the engineering. I like the looks just not much more than than stock.

 

well, I plan to go with the R-Magic Front Lip, for the sides I haven't decided between the R-Magic or Mazdaspeed, for the rear I want something that will show the rotay accent, I might just go with the rear mud guards or something to that effect. And as for the spoiler I like the look without a spoiler, but this RB spoiler is just my cup of tea.

 

My first thought was it was not enough, but then I realised that is the point. It is a bit more aggressive and different but not over the top. It could be stock and the fit and finish looks oem.

One interesting note is that it does not lower the car. The appearance package lowers more than the RB. This is good if you are worried about bottoming out.

I think I am going to go with the RB setup once it is released being the RB ***** that I am. :D

 

Thanks for the pictures. It looks like the fog lights are moved so as to not block the oil coolers - am I correct?

everything they make is suttle...

 

Yeah, I don't know about the spoiler. It reminds me an awful lot of the G35 spoiler. Take a look sometime.

 

I think the got the RX-8 cat back exhaust system just right. I love mine.
