First RX-8 KITS!!
 

Sorry that im going crazy today guys but i got nuthing to do and ive been meaning to post these pics for a LONG time. I found these on dome japanese sites. I believe they are fake but these are designs for the first possible kits for the RX-8. These came from the RX-7 magazines i think

1st: The Mazdaspeed Kit

2nd: The Panspeed Kit

I think they're both photoshopped. And I think it was determined that at least the first one was part of a contest rx7 magazine was having, and it's readers photoshopped those and sent them in.


At any rate I still love the Mazdaspeed one. The panspeed one is just too "rx7 panspeedish" if you know what I mean.

they really do look photoshopped

Photoshopped or not, a definite improvement on the RX-8. :D

They are photoshopped/altered, crashunit showed me these about 2 or 3 months ago I'd say
And too bad they use FD front ends but you can't do a great job w/o taking from another picture. I'm sure they'll be far more than just FD hybrid bodykits

still kinda cool but not what the car needs. it should intresting to see what kinda kits will come out for that car!! hopefully nothing hurting like a big fish mouth front fascia!!(ho*da)

Those are "what if" illustrations. The anticipation in Japan is very high for the RX-8. I always thought the 8 was a front facia away from being a truly stunning car. There's another in issue 13 "Editor's Backfire" which mates the Veilside C2 kit with the F&F graphics. Not too bad, but not as good as the MS illustration.

damn... and I was all excited about that Mazdaspeed one... made me actually want a 4 door car.

What I was hoping to see with the first RX-8 bodykits was the return of fins. Can you imagine that? "My Rex has four doors and two, two foot fins!"

Perhaps the epitome of ricer mods originated in America--with this little farce.
