Do you think this is good deal or scam or what?

It looks like a GT Factory rip-off kit. I bet it uses some cheap steel and isn't stainless or nickel plated- so you hinges may rust and break.
You don't want to skimp on vertical doors. Buy a high qualitly kit that won't bust on you. GT Factory has a lifetime warranty on their hinges. You don't want a hinge breaking and costing you thousands in repairs later on.
Also keep in mind the price of installation. Unless you feel confident cutting up your RX-8 and welding super-strong joints, a shop will easily charge you $2,000 for an install or more. The 8 has a lot of little things that need to be modified, like cutting the inside brackets for the fenders and triming the fender vents, etc.

Limited, lol
I did my bolt-on kit myself, and the only fabrication I had to do was cutting the inside of the fender. Extending the wiring isn't very hard at all, there is plenty of play once you cut some tape.
Saying something is 100% CNC'd and only $500 is insane.

Limited means "we don't honor this warranty under normal circumstances".
Save your money and get a genuine kit. You don't want your hinge to break- that could be dangerous and cost you a lot of money. And also remember to factor in the price of installation, unless you can do it yourself.

you get what u pay....and out of all my experiences this has 100% of the time been true. actually on my car we had to go through extreme mods just because i wanted my doors to have the 90 degree angle instead of the 60 to 65. so if you are looking for a good kit thatll fit perfect with the 65 degree angle you should go with a "vertical doors" kit..

also the kit that is shown above is a universal lambo setup which means there will be alot of cutting welding and time time time time for this set up..it may be cheaper but you can definitely get the direct bolt on without having to screw up ur door set up..me and my uncle applied that exact universal kit on a cavalier and if i can give u some advice about it---you better take it to someone that really knows what they are doing..
