Japanese tuning company Auto Exe has just unveiled an eye-catching styling kit for the Mazda CX-8, giving the SUV an edgy new look far more aggressive than the standard design.

The package consists of five key design elements. These start at the front end where Auto Exe has developed a new front chin spoiler that transforms the fascia of the Mazda. Further adding to the striking new front of the SUV is a redesigned hood with prominent black horizontal slats.

Auto Exe’s changes continue down the sides of the CX-8 with a set of aftermarket wheels and wind deflectors on the windows. Rounding out the alterations are some changes to the rear of the Mazda, including the piano black diffuser and the bold spoiler stretching out from the roof.

A stainless steel exhaust system has also been developed for the Mazda CX-8. The tuner is also developing new suspension components, an upgraded intake, and enlarged brakes. These additional parts are expected to be revealed at the start of 2023.

All of the aforementioned parts can be purchased individually. Prices kick off 23,650 yen ($161) for the side wind deflectors and jump to 85,800 yen ($584) for the rear diffuser, 85,800 yen ($584) for the rear wing, 90,200 yen ($615) for the front grille, and 90,200 yen ($615) for the front chin spoiler.

While we have no doubt that these accessories will be a little too bold for some CX-8 owners, we’re sure they will appeal to those wanting to flex on other parents at the school drop-off.
