Sir...excuse me sir. I don't like conflict sir but I just want to tell you that you need to do everything in your power...your given right as an American...to get rid of those rims.

Like the fitment...does not match you TG color though...front bumper just needs a little work. I think some peeps on here had some good suggestions.

Paint the front...but leave a small portion of the bottom unpainted to make it seem like a CF lip. Now we are talkin.

I would paint the front bumper and leave a small portion of the mouth exposed. The sides I would paint like the normal mazdaspeed and leave the bottom portion exposed, the rear diffuser looks great as is but would look even better with the sides painted like the normal kit.


my $.02
100% agree,....already on it

Body kit looks awesome...

I like the raw Carbon look personally...when you get the doors, hood, fenders and trunk done, you're almost full carbon.

i think your car looks good. I actually have the same color 8 and always wondered what it would look like with cf body parts here and there.
thumbs up for the good work.

yea I photoshoped everything black except the things that can't be replaced in CF I left them gray and it actually looks ok and even if it doesn't im all about bein different (duh that's why we all baught rx8s lol) but if and when they com up with a real CF product to overlay that doesn't look tacky ,best belive the whole car roof and quarter wil be CF........I just like turning heads that's all

oh and p.s russ I may wait until next tax season (dont u just love tax returns) and work out a price on doors trunk mirrors fenders etc. because id rather bring my bussiness to one good place and get a one good price...the pricce on those doors still blow my mind ,don't forget to post pix of them or pm if u can

Did you take off the sticker off the front bumper?

fanboi = someone way too geeked out about some product or thing and they will only buy/sell/promote it to others.

If you removed all the stickers, put clear corners on it, and did a 20% tint all around... it would be the hotness.

That kit would look sexy on a black or stormy blue 8 as well.

Regarding CF in general - be very careful you never dock that thing while parking it, bottom out on a curb/speed bump, etc... CF is extremely unforgiving and will crack/split the first time you do it.

well..........that ******* sucks big time, looked nice while it was on the car; but if I ever go cf it would be for weight reduction. BTW good thing you had USAA, they are awesome; I switched to them from progressive and my 6 month quote went from $1100 to $678.

USAA is great! I switched from Geico with a $895 6 mo premium to a $530 6 mo with a $50 deductible. Helped out a lot a few months ago when I a run in with a 60 lbs wild pig in TX while on vacation.

Good luck getting your car back together.
