looks like you have an interesting hood as well. Is it already painted, or you getting it done at the same time. Any other parts to the buddy Club kit, or did you just get the front?

Nice to see a less common body kit. Even nicer to see an intercooler stuffed behind there.

I have the whole kit I was just showin how it looked with the intercooler... I had the Veilside kit with there wing but it was just too common around here so I got the Buddy Club took me 6 months to get it was Crazy! And the its a carbon fiber hood I forget the name of it I got it for 300 bucks... Lookin back I should have just left it alone but when its done maybe it will look a lil more less common...
Heres what it used to look like right after bought the car I had all this done.

I like it. Just like what you said, not a lot of buddy club around.

The kit looks better in black than it does in white.

Looks nice man. I just got a call yesterday that my buddy club front bumper and side skirts will be delivered today or tomorow. I ordered them like 3 weeks ago and when I did Hopupracing told me Buddy Club USA actually had 1 full kit in stock and 1 front bumper and 1 pair of side skirts. After I could out you have to remove the reinforcement bar from the rear of the car to install the buddy club rear bumper I didn't get the full kit, just the front and sides.

I really like the look with the intercooler though, cuz the buddy club front has such a large opening.

Great thanks, I actually just ran home cuz I got a call saying it would be there in 30 minutes. I signed for the bumper and side skirts and are going to get them put on in a week or 2. I was concerned about the fitment, because I couldn't find anyone who has the kit to tell me how it fit.

What did you do with the factory fog lights? I'm assuming I'll just have them removed. Did you put mesh over the oil cooler openings?

I think you should paint the rest of the car in primer black.

I've seen an STi painted in Matte Black... it looked freakin perfect.

It might not work with an RX-8 tho.
