yeah the BB I saw had that and the MS wing. Looks sexy

 

That's my red RX-8 with the black kit on it. One set of photos is the test fit of the original Burnout kit I'm selling, the other set of photos is the new Shine Auto flexible fiberglass kit. They do this to illustrate just how good their products are. The black pieces were supposed to be painted "flat black" by the bodyshop, but really came out "semi-gloss" which I didn't like. I've since pulled the kit and refinished it in a TRUE high-quality flat black, and it looks fantastic! Don't ask why I wanted to do it this way because I'm not even sure myself!

The flat black was about $58, with wet-sanding duties completely by moi. Having it sprayed by a body shop would probably run a couple hundred dollars, if that much. There's not much labor involved that way. They're also doing my Extreme Dimensions rear wing in the same black too.

Oh, I didn't get your PM...

 

I should have new photos of my setup tonight after I pick up my car from the stereo shop. I'll have the rear wing installed by then too! Check back later...

 

i thought you have to drill for the side skirts. it was my understanding that there are supposed to be holes all the way down the side. so if you have the appearance package you can use those and need a couple more, if you dont have the appearance package then you need to drill all the way down

 

Great thanks. I need to spend this money before my wife decides we need something else

 

I made up my mind, MS front and Skirts are being purchased next week. Not sure about the rear. Will the aero flares be enough for the rear? Time to do some price shopping.

 

Racing Beat......Perfect finish, fit and good looking.

 

I narrowed it down to two choices:

1. MS Front, MS skirts with rear Aero Flares. Cost $ 2,208
2. Front Air Dam (OEM), Rear Aero Flares, and MS Skirts. Cost $1,288 Omicron on 8 club has it check it out http://rockymountainrx8.com/modules....ew_photo. php

Which one should I go for? Please help me decide

 

i would do the MS front setup just because I think the MS bodykit is hot.....

but the choice is completely yours

 

option 2, not a fan of the ms front.

 

Thanks, so far its 1 to 1

 

Here's what can be done with the Burnout kit...

 

A couple more...

 

I feel like an idiot. I didn't realize that the $700 price for skirts was actually for just one I really want to get this TV so I gues I need to find something more economical. So now I'm thinking about this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-...55866QQtcZphoto

I'm worse than a girl at the mall.

 

Burnout lip kit my friend. Very economical choice

 

Yea, but I really fell in love with the Vertex and Autobahn kits. You wouldn't happen to have an extra autobahn kit laying around would you

 

Well, since they make 'em, they should have one or two laying around! LOL

 

That's what I'm hoping for. Never seen the Auto Exe kit till now. Pretty sweet.

 

they do still have the authentic one i believe but i don't think they're selling anymore of the replicas for another 4-6 months.

 

Dang, how many of those Autobahn kits did they sell right off the bat? I remember Ken said he was going to make them something of an "exclusive", but I don't think he'd refuse someone waving money under his nose!

 

What is the issue with the Autobahn rear and exhaust issues. Will it fit around my MS exhaust? Will the Auto Exe or Autobahn kits fit with my MS CAI? Getting closer and closer to my decision. One more question I saw that mazdaparts.com has a MS urethan kit for about $975. I did a search and found threads on the rotary extreme one but not the mazdaparts one. Do any of you know if its any good? I heard that urethane is a little better under collision conditions beacuse it flexes. But it's down side is that it can warp in extreme heat. Any ideas on the MS urethane kit?

 

Basing your bodykit decision around what TV you can afford to purchase is inherently illogical. The TV will go on sale at Easter, and again Memorial Day, and again during the July 4th holiday. In August, the price will drop further as MFGs begin to clear out stock in anticipation of the upcoming Christmas season's new models. On the other hand, you'll have to look at that body kit every time you climb into your car. Everyone will look at it at every RX-8 meet you attend. Girls in fast-food drive-thrus will snicker if it looks like crap. No one will care that you have a Plasma TV at home. Everyone has a Plasma or HD TV anymore... Now if you needed that TV to watch the Speedsource RX-8 GT-class victories in beautiful High Definition, over and over and over, this would be a different story!

 

Well said. I'm a movir freak so I need a great TV. But you are right a nice looking kit will be more noticable. I made my decision. I'm taking the economical route. Burnout Kit it is. I just pm'd Shine, I have some questiuons first but my decision is made. Damn about time.
