Not sure if you guys have seen this. A new Autoexe kit is out (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=158027). Looks pretty good. Check it out versus the the MS kit in photo. What do you think?

Umm...looks pretty good, the new Autoexe kinda looks like the 09 RX-8 front bumper but with a lower lip

I have seen this on mazmart vendor section. i am in love with it but no money now. Its definitely the sharpest looking kit on the market so far

I like the hood comes down a little lower than the MS version. I also like its aggressiveness without being too busy...

Does Autoexe have a good reputation for fit?

mmm, this kit really seems to be getting a lot of attention on the boards...i initally was thinking of going mazdaspeed but this kit has me thinking differently..like the above posts mention, it really gives a facelift to the 04-08's that is also pretty classy & subtle at the same time...i think on the mazmart thread the bumper was $750ish landed in the US...so shipping to Canada might be a "little" more :banghead:

The one thing I really like about the MS kit is the grey piece that runs along the bottom. Anyone know a way of adding that to the autoexe spoiler - an aftermarket piece that would also help protect the spoiler from scrapes?

The grey piece is kind of an integrated air splitter. I don't think it's functional though. So you could probably look around for real air splitters.

These are air splitters. http://www.trackdogracing.com/website/air_splitters.htm

^ Really? I don't think either kit is too rice. Both look great, just different...

That picture doesn't do the bumper justice, so i can kinda see why foot might see some "ricey-ness" plus there is too much chrome... but the pictures in the first post give a better impression...gah i can't decide :(

You can add me to that group buy.

I was planing on buying this autoexec bumper anyways. Originally I was going to go with the MS too... it's simple, it's clean and it looks "authentic Mazda"

Problem is, there are way too many MS front bumpers where I live. It's very common and... this autoexec does everything I want the MS to do, plus, it looks "rare", and looks "authentic Mazda" also.

So if some people would prefer the MS front bumper... GREAT!! I hope more people buy the common MS front bumper. It looks great anyways!!
