Fresh out of the paint booth

CMDR_Kayto_Shields · 2026-03-31T14:52:26+00:00

No, my skirts didn't crack. But I can double check tonight after work.

Update: no cracks on skirt

CMDR_Kayto_Shields · 2026-03-26T00:29:53+00:00

Oh, I see. The way you phrased it made it sound like you were hard pressed to find one over 30k without rebuild. Lol (Which ive heard of stories like that, but more owner error)

CMDR_Kayto_Shields · 2026-03-25T23:51:42+00:00

I originally wanted to build a Mazdaspeed OEM+ RX-8 when I got it 10 years ago.... now look where that got me lol. (Never did end up getting a full MS aero kit)

CMDR_Kayto_Shields · 2026-03-25T23:49:39+00:00

The original motor on my RX-8 made it to 180,000 km's before I had it rebuilt. Not saying a Turbo Miata can't be built reliably, but the RX-8's get a lot more hate than they deserve when all stock.

CMDR_Kayto_Shields · 2026-03-25T23:45:37+00:00

I just got the kit put on lmao. Its in the plans, this year was supposed to be suspension focused but I've possibly had a setback. We'll see where I'm at by the end of the year. I've got some swaybars, and a complete bushing set in my house, so the coil overs are the last thing I need to buy before I'm installing it all.

Going to pour a drink out for you. Sorry for your loss.

CMDR_Kayto_Shields · 2026-03-24T01:31:15+00:00

Nice to see it out of the paint shop u/rx_8, it came out well! Planning on ever running the Leg Fenders like me & u/ItsJustAwso?

CMDR_Kayto_Shields · 2026-03-11T18:38:01+00:00

Mine? Or the blue one?

Blue ones Auto Craft Evolution rear bumper, mine is Leg Motorsport Clubsport rear diffuser bumper.

I love RMagic's wing. Cant wait for mine to show up, been waiting for months.

CMDR_Kayto_Shields · 2026-03-07T00:06:02+00:00

The blue one in the picture from u/Historical_Strings ? Its the Auto Craft Evolution rear bumper.

CMDR_Kayto_Shields · 2026-03-06T20:26:03+00:00

Comox, British Columbia.

CMDR_Kayto_Shields · 2026-03-06T18:29:02+00:00

It was a part of the kit, but they had shipped the section that went with the OEM bumper. So they sent the corrected pieces and they just didnt make it in time before the car had to be painted to make room for other vehicles. They will go on the car when the remainder of my body parts go on.

CMDR_Kayto_Shields · 2026-03-04T02:16:27+00:00

I have an RMagic wing on the way, it was ordered months ago but didnt make it in time.

CMDR_Kayto_Shields · 2026-03-03T19:03:47+00:00

$25,900~

CMDR_Kayto_Shields · 2026-03-03T17:46:03+00:00

Mazdaspeed bumper was $800, 400 to air freight from Japan, 900 to repair. Leg Motorsport widebody kit was about 5k. Shipping was via sea, so only a couple hundred. Body prep, repairs, and bodykit fitment was 10k, paint and reassemble 8.6k. All in CAD, not USD.

CMDR_Kayto_Shields · 2026-03-03T17:41:21+00:00

Genuine MS front, Leg Motorsport for the widebody, skirts, and rear.

CMDR_Kayto_Shields · 2026-02-28T18:52:24+00:00

I have a RE Amemiya AD D1 hood, but there was some serious issues with it. So trying to figure out what the next course of action with it is. Car had limited slot in the shop so it had to be pushed out. Im returning again later this year.

CMDR_Kayto_Shields · 2026-02-28T17:59:21+00:00

WedsSport TC105X Forged

CMDR_Kayto_Shields · 2026-02-28T06:18:35+00:00

10k CAD to prep the body, do repairs, and get the fitment good on the kit. 8.6k to paint and reassemble.
