05rex8, I couldn't help it, I had to rip off you and buy a Tsunami bumper. I was getting ready to buy a front bumper but I wasn't sure which one I was going to get. I had leaned towards the Vertex Lang for a long time, but every time I saw your car on here I felt a twinge of jealousy... so its on it's way now. I was impressed with both the fact that its polyurethane not fiberglass and it was very inexpensive comparatively. I'll be sure to post pictures when its on!

mine is kinda fitting like **** right now. its sagging out from under the light towards where the sidemarkers should be.....
im missing my wheel well fender lining and under support plastic for the bumper, so it is only being held on by the screws under the hood and the screw on each side in the fender....
makes me sad to see it sag so much and fit like ****, but i just dont have the money atm for the mazda parts i need.

Everyones always bustin on how whored out the MS kit is but honestly you only see its popularity on the forum, its pretty rare to see on the road, and only maybe 10% of the time at a show or meet...

Hopefully the fitment is as good for mine as it was for yours. Sorry to bite off your style, but I think its actually one of the best looking front bumpers for the 8.

I'll have lots of pics once it goes on, I'm actually going to get the OEM front splash guards and keep the OEM aero pieces. I've been looking at a LOT of cars on the forum and I've decided I actually like how the front splash guards and aero pieces look more than side skirts. It is also a hell of a lot easier to go over speed bumps.

I don't mind you having the same bumper, if I cared I wouldn't have told anyone I had it, lol.
Besides, around where I live, you would be lucky to see an RX-8 with even aftermarket wheels...so I'm still pretty unique
