Recommendations on back end

hey guys,
i'm doing a mix and match, and i'm going to go with mazdaspeed side skirts with a tsunami front bumper... but i don't know what i should go for the back.

i have a euro lip already, and i don't plan on getting the ms spoiler or any other spoiler. i like the simple look

so which back end do you think will go great with the Tsunami front and the ms side skirts.

all opinions welcome!!

Veilside rear would look good.. I like INGs+1, but it doesn't flow with the MS sides.

all those back ends are nice... but i don't think they'll match the setup that i have...

Should i just go along and do the appearance package back... or just the rear end of the ms kit??

autoexe might look good... but the back end of the autoexe looks "friendly" while the tsunami bumper looks semi-aggresive... like an autobahn mixed with ms.

what do you guys think about the entire setup with the ms back?

i haven't seen one yet... but i hear so much about it being common, so i decided to go with the tsunami front. Also, i love the autobahn, but constantly looking at me made it seem dull and plain - so i took the best of the two - mazdaspeed with autobahn, and i think it yielded the tsunami front. also , i love that it DOESN'T have the corner lights... that's a plus!

finally, i decided to go with ms sideskirts b/c i bought the authentic one for 350 (slightly damaged) and since i have to paint the tsunami front anyway, why not just do the side skirts too? So it worked out well i think...

So mike, you think the tsunami front, ms side and rear will flow?? i love your spoiler too man - but i want to keep it simple, so i'm gonna stick with my euro lip.

you are right the tsunami front is kinda a mix of ms and autobahn

and yes the ms rear would totally work with your set up
keep us posted

i got it on ebay when the rx8 was initially introduced in the us... about 1/2 affter it was out. i paid an arm and a leg for it. $350 or $375 i believe. but i love it. Also, for me, i didn't have to drill any holes b/c i sanded and scraped off all the clips that needed to be plugged into the trunk lid, and used heavy duty auto-double sided foam tape, and it's been 1.5yrs with no problem or signs of falling...

at times, you can find it on the UK rx8 forum, or any european auction site because this lip spoilers are standard on euro-spec rx8's.

and mikeb... damnit, all the nice rx8's are in Cali... it's good and bad b/c i've yet to see an rx8 with more than a appearance package to it. but, i plan to get everything within the next 2 months, so i will definitely post pictures when it's available.

thanks for the help and opinions everyone.

if you want the clean and simply look, the MS Rear will match your sideskirt very well, www.rotaryextreme.com have a carbon fiber one for $900.
