Post some pictures of what you're looking at...? IMO almost all kits for the 8 are ugly...I like these though:

"Magnum"

"Infini"

"V-Spec" ground effects kit...I like this the best probably, clean and simple.

1 and 2 are basically Mazdaspeed replicas. Not a ton of difference between the two. If you're doing that, just be on the lookout for used replicas on rx8club.

I was thinking the Veilside D1-GT kit. My insurance is buying me a new kit so I about 3000 to spend. I might just go with the R Magic kit again.

I was waiting on you to pitch in Jimmy but I figured you'd be a little more helpful :-P I'm actually the opposite. I like the Veilside front end but not the rear. I might go with the Veilside front and R magic rear.

^LOL


Out of the list that ranger has I like the 2nd one the most...... 3rd is lock the factory kit and the first is just a little plain..... The 2nd complements the fron fenders more.... But I do like the side skirts of the 1st one more......

I have to disagree here a little bit..... I'm not a fan of the RE Amamiya kits..... Those secondary built in fog/headlight thingys are tarded.... Eventhough they make it w/o them...... Overall it's a nice looking kit but the openings in the front are just too small IMHO and that's what turns me off besides the fog light deal.....

The side skirts and diffuser are nice....... It's just the front.....
