Might be more worth it to get a set of all season tires. Also probs best to wait till summer for a new bumper. I might actually have my spare red bumper, doubt it will be color matching though.
I've run Michelin pilot sport all seasons and they seem to handle 2-3in of snow, and by handle I mean controllable while sliding. In New England I tend to have trouble when we have days like this past week where we bounce around freezing temps. Slush/ Ice melting is hard to deal with without weight in our cars.
These cars aren't exactly made for winter driving 😂 yesterday I was drifting and literally jumped it right into a field, messed my front bumper pretty good and the back bumper a little 😅 everything else seems fine though. So I guess I'm going to be looking into a body kit, anyone know of any that are decent to install?
All body kits require heavy modification to fit properly. In your case it may be a good decision. have pics of the damage?
let’s be truthful, ok; the driver is not up to winter driving.
Likely not up to summer either, but easier to fool/lie to yourself.

Hahaha, only positive people here please. I've been driving standard since I was 9, totalled a car when I was 15 and gone off the road 2 times in my life. I don't have much practice drifting on pavement. When I said these cars aren't made for the winter I was referring to last week I got stuck in another town because of a snowstorm. Your probably a better driver than me 👏 I just got out of prison in June after being gone for 3 years for drug charges. So your probably a better person than me too but I've been clean for over 2 years and I'm in college now so at least I learn from my mistakes and that's why I'm not gonna stop drifting my car because I'm only going to get better. Thanks for trying to be a troll you got your reaction out of me. Don't expect another reply because I only respect positive people and I'm on this forum because people are willing to help, and I appreciate everyone's help immensely, I'm not rich so I try to fix things myself.

It's really not that bad, the front bumper is one of those super cheap duraflex ones that wasn't installed right by the last owner. I was going to fix it but at this point might as well just get a new one.
The rear you could get away just replacing the muffler caps. The front could be repaired with fiberglass. Would be worth your while to just fix what you have since you already have a mounted front bumper which is harder than the rear. Its poorly mounted but it could be fixed. Congrats on your sobriety and maybe avoid drifting the car in the snow in the future. Good luck!
Okay like I said just bought my RX-8 it runs and idles but is stuck in limp mode. I attempted to run a compression test myself and I'm not sure if I did it right but I'm pretty sure I need a rebuild. Then today I was checking the omp and the oil lines are very brittle and look like the might be dry. I looked at the bottom of it and saw this. Probably need a new one I'm guessing lol
this is common, find the posts on making your own lines, they will last longer.
