Body kits for $399??!

Hey everyone, I was on ebay and I noticed some body kits for the rx8 are starting at $399?? I looked at other places and they start from $1000? so why are the kits so cheap on ebay?

knockoffs and poor quality materials they are made of. Buy the real stuff and you will have less hassle and you can do it yourself, like the mazdaspeed kit. If you buy an ebay kit you will be paying about the saem if not more for putting the kit on profesionaly and gettin it painted.

question

Just wondering The Pre-painted MS body Kit (real) how hard is it to setup your car with this bodykit ? Is it just bolt on through factory drilled holes or does it require drilling and stuff?

It's actually bolt-on for the most part... the nose is bolt on, you need to hack off half of your rear bumper to put the rear under-spoiler, and the sides require some drilling...(<-- i'd say the most difficult install in this kit)

i bought the "knock off" fiberglass kit but got nothing but headaches trying to find a shop who'd do the work... i just gave up and got the original.. :D

The rear diffuser requires removal of a small piece of the stock bumper before bolt on.
The rear wing requires drilling.
The side skirts require drilling.
The nose is bolt on.

Fairly straight-forward and simple installtion.
