It's a couple of grams...
You could change the rear glass cover over to plastic, that would save a lot more...

Needs less bodykit

Doesn't suite the styling of an RX8 in my opinion.

Nice vectose. Was it hard ? Looks good!

@nighthawk. Each to their own mate. I've had a lot of compliments about the kit (which you can't really see from the photo i just posted) over stock anyway

Not really hard, took me 5 minutes each side. Just need to use a heat gun to stretch it around the curves. It's the genuine 3M stuff as well so it's very easy to work with.

That was the whole reason I bought coilovers was to remove the planks of wood on my driveway. Raised it up 50mm. from 70 to 120!
