Hi guys, was wondering if there's any bumpers for the new RX8? Will the 'older' bumpers like RE-A, lagsports etc. fit the new 09 RX-8 considering it has the LEDs on it?

older bumpers won't fit. there are some new ones out already for the 09s like autoexe.

mmmmm autoexe for the 09 looks much better than for the 04-08 years.

just went to autoexe website and took a look.... but didn't manage to see their new bumpers for the 09 RX8. Anyone here has any links or pictures? Is it under the SE-03?

Most of the Japanese ones who made 04-08 I'd guess since this body will be sold for the next few years at least.

I'd wait to buy something until the MS kit comes out. When pics of the 09 first came out one was included. It looked incredibly good.

Oh and there were two Autoexe kits for the '04/08 cars. The second one most people here didn't get but it's pretty close to the '09 kit.

It is freakin' nice.

Here's the 2009 Mazdaspeed kit:

Obviously still not available in the US (those pics are from the 'Concept' so they might not come true at all). And now that I've seen AutoExe's kit I think I would go with their front and the sides/rear/spoiler from the MS kit unless of course you got the AutoExe quad tips.

More pics here:
