GA Upgrading my Front Bumper

So my Shinka is amazing and i love the look. Sorry to all you stock guys but i hate the front of the base 8's. Too rounded and what not. Anyways to my point, I'm looking to upgrade my front bumper. I want something thats pretty much perpendicular with the ground ( opposite of rounded haha ). I have seen the mazdaspeed and a buddy club racing front bumper i like. I just wanted to know if you guys have any suggestions, have you put on a body kit, do you like yours, good brands, not cheap looking, etc. Let me hear it guys haha

Hey NewKid. Well I've got a genuine Mazdaspeed front and I love it. Fits perfectly and looks the biz. IMO the Buddyclub kit for the RX8 looks a bit lame (same as pretty much every Buddyclub bumper out there so you'll match Civic's, Accords etc) Have a search through the forum for some threads on fitting aftermarket bumpers too as this may put you off (unless you're willing to spend the extra $ on getting the final fit/finish right)

Mazdaspeed i think is the best looking body kit for the rx8. They don't make these anymore, but you might find some used authentic ones though.

Bremma, no need to brag buddy

how would you feel if it went missing in the night

but on topic, the buddyclub bumper is about as appealing as watching your girlfriend give birth to a 20lb baby

Lol not braggin, just sayin.

Think if it went missing i'd have to go "Taken" on whover did it's a$$. "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my Mazdaspeed bumper go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you"

Oh god thanks for the birth image by the way... Haha
