The look is not too bad at all. It needs a matching set of side and rear kit.

Personally, I prefer the R-magic kit over others (MS, Autoexe, or RE Amemiya).

it's nice when you can just agree with someone that already posted....

Don't you guys think it is a bit imbalanced if only have the front bumper but no sides... like the ones in few posts ago?

yes,
I think if you get a bodykit and whole kit is best
or even mix and match like r magic front and ms sides but none the less the whole kit IMO is best

someone post a barfing smiley for me... the front is still cool in a weird way, but the back is just terrible, and doesn't hold with the theme of the car at all... also, the height of the wing columns seems obviously too-high to me, not to mention that horrific rear "drop" ...

i think the back contradicts the solid lines of the front. the earlier pictures made it look like they were going for a jet look. looks decent from the sides though.

Hmmm....separated at birth?

I think the creeper is prettier.

And the front bumper, see the "Lockheed" decal? It clearly belongs on the back wing.

Also, the back bumper looks the kind of tupperware I'd expect to see on a 10-year old Pontiac.

In my opinion it's completely ridiculous and looks cheap. What's the point of spending $30 on a car to do that to it? Whatever happened to understated style, which is what the RX-8 is all about if you ask me? This kind of thing just smacks of trying to compensate for something if you know what I mean...

Sad, just sad ;-(

I think that is the best looking 8 ever moded.
it has a highly moded look make you think what could be in those airdam.
I love that rear wing.
I also think it s at a taste level waybeyond us.
its a look you would only see in serious race car not sports car.
am i making sense her,

that front doesn't look like it belongs on an 8. It looks like a new celica if you ask me.

I don't even know why people bother to post this stuff on this site.. seriously, if it's not MS or MB it's horrible! I think it's neat because it's different. Too many folks' on this site have EXACTLY the same car... I didn't buy this car to have it look like all of the rest of them, nor perform like all the rest of them. Lots of people have said "this isn't some 12k ricer car, this car is for adults, you shouldn't ruin it".. man.. I'm sorry, but not all of us are 40+ yrs old, some of us like more agressive styling, and LOTS of us like modifying things.. I think the stock form was a great start, but I do NOT think it's the end-all be-all _FOR ME_.. if it is for you, super.. I'm not going to be negative with you.. but I think all of you screaming "RICE!!!" need to realize how "ricey" the rx8 comes stock.. it's SCREAMS JDM styling and lines.. I'm sure plenty of folks are going to spend decent money making their civics and crx's look "rx8ey".. so who cares?

That said, I think the back looks infinitely better than the front
