ya dude I think it would look fine with the OEM AP rears... and a cheap solution too

 

that front needs sides. the front is angled 90 degrees to the ground. the side of the rx8 is convex. you need the lines to flow horizontally along the car.

 

i will probably get the RB ones....I don't know.....adjf;afjal;a;afasdla;'dlaKSDL';

i already have the ings...but it's going to be lower than the front, as is the tsunami side skirts. decisions decisons....for now I think it looks good though. Plus it has been garaged for the winter as of yesterday.

 

it's too bad that the factory appearance package didn't have sides that went the whole length.....

 

here is one with the ings sides.....not feeling it. gonna go for the RB sides. I've made my decision!



btw..this was Kwescott's car.

 

it will look perfect IMHO. i dont give a rats *** im gonna get the same setup hahaha its ok we have totally different everything else

 

Hey 05rex8 I think you should get these sides hint hint

 

did all the bumper come with the crack on the bottom? cuz mine did too..

05rex8, i think you should keep the oem side flares, cuz they are pretty good and special looking. thats what i am getting too. My car will come back from the body shop tmr..happy

 

LOL...wow that looks great. Uh oh. Now I want these. LOL. Do these come with mounting hardware?

yes they all have it

 

congrats man

that looks good

 

Dude! That looks soooo sick!! The aggressiveness of the bumper combined with the mean look of the FMIC looks amazing! I would check out the Knight Sport side skirts. A. Mair has them and I think they would go well with your bumper.

 

05rex8 they only come mounting screws and the mesh they fit snug so there are no brackets needed waiting for your order lol

philsbluerx8 I see you received your bumper thanks for the business.
The cut in the bottom of the bumper is not actually a crack it is a mold release slit because this bumper has so many curves it is hard to get it out of the mold so every kit must be slit there to pull it out of the mold. Post some pics of your car when you get them.

 

Knight Sport is pretty cool, they might look really good. They're smooth and they look like they might not be as low as the others. I don't know where you'd get them though.

 

^My thoughts exactly. I think you have to order them from japan but i'm not sure. A. Mair would know.

 

thanks for the comments and advice, i will check them out

 

Hey Philsbluerx8 did you get your car back yet were are the pics?

 

Whats up guys did you forget about me? I am actually in the process of selling the project rx8 to a good friend of mine in the military stationed in Germany so he will be shipping the tsunami/showanddrift rx8 to tear up the autobahn next year when he gets back from Iraq. If you have any questions about the kit let me know cause I was one of the designers of the kit and I did the install so I know all about it. Rodney have I met you before? When did you acquire Tsunami from Gene?

 

^very happy with the kit, awesome design

 

Yes I got it back few days ago and am pretty happy with the new look. I will take some pics soon when i have time cuz i have been so busy. I actually have one taken by my cell phone but it might affect people's opinions cuz its a shitty pic.

 

Rodney:
I took the bumper off today and tried to adjust the mesh to get the sag out of the middle. I took the mesh completely off and it had no affect. No matter how I installed the mesh, it still had a sag. So I heated up the bumper (carefully) and pushed it up and allowed it to cool. It is better, but still not perfect. I think i will have to fabricate a brace to go underneath to fix it properly.

I wonder if philsbluerx8 had that issue too? Oh well, it's alot better and I am still happy with it! I will post pics when I get a chance.

 

No I dont have the sag. My sits flat down there

 

sh*t, must have been a mold imperfection....or shipping damage..? who knows....I should get some free side skirts out of the deal for my troubles *hint hint*

 

Hey Jonathan it seems kind of weird that you have a sag I'll check out the ones I have left and see if they do too but they all come out of the same mold. If the bumper was pressed on when shipped it still should go back to its original shape polyurethane holds a little bit of memory but will return to its original shape after a little bit of time. I'll check it out and get back to you.

 

no prob, I'm sure if I mess with it more, I can heat it up enough and get it better...or try some sort of brace. Didn't have a whole lot of time to mess with it today...I do know it has nothing to do with the mesh though.

 

eventually I got a chance to let my buddy take some pix for me. Here you are:
