lol! Alu, Thanks for all the help man! How long does it normally take to get body kits? Assuming most of the rx8 body kits, are going to come from Japan.

depends how much you want to spend on shipping, you can have it flown in which is super expensive, or you can wait anywhere from 1-3 months by boat,,,

I'm not sure, I have a 2007 black rx8 now, with custom cherry flames coming up from the front end, I really like it. When the sun is out you can really see it, looks really cool. But like on a cloudy day can't see it. I got pictures of it if you want to check it out, http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3814457 And go to page 4, Maybe thinking about getting it painted black again, and having the cherry flames come up onto the hood more, and on the sides of the car. As you'll see in the pictures they end at the front of the hood.

A better picture of the cherry flames, just took the left picture today But see you can only see those flames if you have a light on it, So not sure if I should do the same design but have it go more up on the hood and the sides, or make the cherry flames pop out more, more noticeable.
