![Question](https://www.rx8club.com/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hi everyone,
I want to go with a bodykit and I'm thinking of the following:
Autobahn Front Bumper
Mazdaspeed side skirts
Mazdaspeed rear bumper
It looks like I missed the GB w/ ShineAutoParts. I'm in no rush, but where can I find the best price for these parts?
Any other combinations you all think would be better?
Also, if someone could locate or photoshop pics for this setup that'd be sweet.
thanks,
-jc

try PMing lazi. he's a pretty well known vendor on this forum. he's from J-On demand. also, i heard from a friend that the mazdaspeed front and rear bumpers are on national back order. they're going to be available sometime in June.

Slight change of mind. I've fallen in love with the Kenstyle rear; sides are ok, but front is not that appealing to me.
Take a look at the pics below:

What sides do you think would blend these two designs perfectly?

if you do Autobahn front and Kenstyle rear, you'll be stealing NgoRX8's idea...

If I knew about NgoRX8's idea, then yes, that'd be copying, but I didn't know anything about it (until you brought it up). I came about this setup on my own.
Shops make kits for a reason: because they sell. If we demanded originality, then I suppose all of us would be designing and manufacturing our own bodykits. I bought an Rx8 and have modded the hell out of it, I guess that makes me a copycat -- darn.
Back to subject: so what sides do you all recommend?

I checked out a bunch of side skirts and I think the Fabulous sides complement the Kenstyle rear while still looking good with the Autobahn front.

My personal view on this is NgoRX8 will always be known as the first person that completed the kit. Any person that decide to do the same thing is a testament of how beautiful his car is.

i agree with zephir. its not like custom bodywork is cheap so we can all get what we want. uhoh ngorx8 has that setup so now noone can use it!!!!! better hurry up kid cause theres only about a little over a dozen bodykits for the 8 and about a million 8 owners!!!! wouldnt wanna be a copycat. lol
