Dam the rear bumper is nice!!!!! As far as the front goes, i think that White and black 8's are the only color that can justify this body kit, someone photoshop colors and prove me wrong.

And again I say, how was the install? Did all pieces fit properly without extra modification? Are all the holes pre-drilled? I see the white RX-8 has black mesh the Gray one does not. Is mesh included with the kit? And also this kit looks AWESOME!

no one knows exactly how the kit fits. If you look though the whole thread you will see the grey car is the one that was used for the shaping of the body kit. the white car is the grey car after completion. if its like most c west kits fitment should be very good and everything will be included. Also the price will be up there as it is jdm and all the shipping and such. based on their other kit around 2 for the full kit in the end

I don't think they are the same car. The Gray 8 has a factory spoiler and 2-tone seats and no mesh, the White 8 has a mazdaspeed wing and as good as I can see from the pics single color seats. Also I was asking the original poster about the kit because I am guessing his car is the gray one and obviosly he has insider information about the development of this kit. JDM? They have a shop in California?

i dont believe any vendor will carry this kit. you have to go through a c west dealer. I even talked to yuki at japan parts with no luck.
