I want a more 66 Shelby cobra style front and maybe rear to match with the wide fenders of the shelby cobra.

A more uniform oval shapped grill would be even better if anybody that makes front ends are listening.

Anyone?

the rear isnt wider, and i have no clue where to order altho the kit looks nice

that is the tuning house that makes the kit so i would assume contacting them could work

I have emailed them with no responce as I am not sure the know how to read english as it is a Japanese site. I was wondering if there are any venders in the US the has them or can get them. Or maybe make something like it with a little more Cobra look to it.

Lazi might be able to get a hold of it for you?

I finnaly got a responce but I cant read it, I think there is a phone # in it but if they dont speak english it wont help. Can anyone traslate?

domo origato mr. robato

Is that the new 'integrated sports bumper' that's suppose to be updated on the 09 rx-8? or is that aftermarket?

Anyone know or will I need to learn how to speak japanese to call and order one?

I guess nobody has any connections.

did you pm lazi like posted up top?

I wonder if there is any way to keep the stock fog lights with this bumper cover (i.e.- a bracket/mount)?

ahh nevermind found my answer: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www5.plala.or.jp/dtec/RX-8TDV/RX-8TD.html&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3DRX-8%2BTD-Version%2B%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-us
"Pure fog lamp mounting SUTEKITTO (optional) ¥ 18900"
on the parts page link

Jesus.

I would have never considered replacing my front bumper until now!

There is no Vendor that sells their kit, so you'll have to order it directly from them. Also, I highly doubt this kit will resemble to a 66 Shelby Cobra, that kit almost looks stock.

Jesus.

I still like the OEM. Their is to much flow restrictions on that after market kit.

Yes I pmd Lazi and he never pmd back. Guess I will start looking for a different kit.

why dont you try pming japanparts.com and see if they can do something.

haha american infidels lol...japanparts to the rescue again!

for this Kit; the manufacturer sells the Kit *installed* at their paint shop, but as that's not an option for you ( 'cos you're not in Japan ) that's a No-Can-Do

Happy to followup on anything that's not already on our Site; sorry we couldn't help with that :tear:

i wasn't actually lookin for it, it was pfloydss who wanted it but either way it sucks that you have to be there to get it. Maybe you should make it into a spring break trip lol.

An 80 thousand dollar spring break trip for a 1500.00 bumper. Wow I must be in the wrong business.

so there's no chance of getting this bumper in the US? :(

*Correct* this can't be supplied

I have to agree that the overall look of the kit is pretty close to stock. It has more of a puffer fish beak rather than a smile. If it were driving by though, I wouldn't even notice any difference unless I were staring at it for a while. I say if you are going to change, make the change noticable otherwise why spend the dough and get something that won't fit perfectly like stock does?

Anyone ever find this kit?

did you read the thread? the company that makes/made it only supplies it as an installed kit. you have to get it fitted by them. they dont sell it any other way.
