I'm looking for a good quality body kit for my black rx8, I was looking at the Mazda Speed, R-Magic, and the vertex. Stuck on which one to get. So I thought I would get other peoples opinions. Haven't been a fan of body kits, Just because of the fact, that fiberglass can crack so easily.. but they do look real nice on rx8's.

Thanks.

Since your mot a fan of bodykits, you should go for a burnout or shine lip kit

Yiddie

What's the difference between those and the ones I posted earlier? Not trying to be rude or anything.

Yiddie

Don't seem to bulky, look more slick I notice. Anybody know where you can buy Burnout lip kits? Carbon fiber kits are better then fiberglass ones correct?

my experience is mixed, Ive had aftermarket glass parts for several cars, the parts for 8 have been of the best quality and durability, that came a greater cost but still, they have been very durable. My new Autoexe bumper has been hit several times by road debris including retreads. There have been two instances where I kringed and looked for the nearest area to pull off expecting there to be severe damage but havent had any cracks or breaks. Also have had a fair share of parking space barriers and high speed bumps... I do have scrape marks on the underside of my chin but thats it,,,

All of the ones you mentioned are made well, it really comes down to what look your going for,,,

Anything you can tell us about what your trying to achieve with the looks will help us help you,,,

Thanks for the info, I'm just trying to make my rx8 look better, Bring it to car shows n such. I just liked the Mazda speed, R-magic, and the vertex body kits, and I like the burnout lip kit also, Looks more slick, A whole body kit seems to be to bulky like.. lol Here is a link if you wanted to see my car. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3814457 Page 4 is pictures of the exterior.

I got performance pretty much done, Just need to work on looks now.

Yiddie

Errr, Damit! I can't decide, really liking the MazdaSpeed body kit... but I don't know damit!.... This sucks

mazdaspeed is pretty penny.

Yiddie

So I was thinking on the mazdaspeed front end, and going with the r-magic for the back. Not sure about the side skirts.

Vertex + Black is like Sex on the Beach.... you dont know what you are missing out on. Search for FEP3S.... his car was super sick! Or just go to the VERTEX club website... his car is on there.

They started work on the Feed front bumper instead, which is a nice front end.
Vis Racing sells a Vertex replica.

Not crazy about the Vertex. The Mazdaspeed is the cleanest of them all. Really smooth. I like the R-Magic as well though. As far as Fiberglass is concerned, just gotta be careful! Cracks are gonna happen though

Not so much now-a-days compared to the high end Japanese stuff,

The best person to get the Vertex from is Rishie from Auto RnD in the vendor forums, his screenname is EndlessRotaries

Yeah I like the smoothness of the mazdaspeed kit, Does that kit only come in fiberglass? And anybody have any other suggestions on what to do, to make rx8 look nicer? This my black rx8 http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3814457 Open for any suggestions. I got the Esmeril racing turbo kit and parts.
