that does look pretty nice. the car does as well. That is the first RX8 that looks clean. The hump in the back doesn't look as bad with the kit I guess.

interesting to see anothers opinion of what is "clean." that thing looks like someone tacked on a bunch of crap (but most body kits look like that to me) on a car and ruined it.

I do like the wheels (although I would prefer silver to gunmetal)

I believe the wheels are magnesium, and are available through Mazdaspeed at a price of about $1,000 a wheel.

My exact numbers may be off, all I remember is my reaction, example when I realized how much they were.

Love the wheels and although im not a fan of jdm style (i.e dark wheels) I think that the gunmetal looks good against the silver car. I guess it contrasts well.

In this case Ive gotta agree with thereisnospoon, that car looks ready for battle to me. Dont get me wrong I like bodykits but only if they are clean and dont look added on. For example the OEM front lip.... It doesnt sit flush with the front bar so you can tell that its an addition. J's front bar looks good moulded but otherwise its an add on. Just my opinion.
