The Front Bumper wasn't?

 

I totally agree about the side skirts...I feel exactly the same way too!!!

Might try the side deflectors....

 

Ha ha ha. Yes, front bumper costs a fortune too. Thanks God I didn't like the side skirt else I would be deeply in the poor house!

 

I think the front MS bumper looks fine with the stock appearance package. You might want to check with some other brand side skirt to see if they goes together well. I am more performance oriented/ligther weight approach so side skirt is not in my mind when I upgrade my car. The car doesn't have much hp to begin with and I don't want to add weight to the car. The only thing weightwise that I added to the car was dynamat sound proofing in the trunk and behind the rear seats. It makes the midpipe/exhaust sound less booming. No resonance, just nice clean exhaust sound. I have Hymee on mine and it sounds perfect with RX7store midpipe. Loud when you want it to and quiet when cops are around. Never get pull over since I have this set up!

 

thick and heavy? Look at your front! If that doesnt look thick and heavy I dont know what does. You should look into other sideskirts.the car looks so bare with out sideskirts to match it. And as far as performance oriented goes, haha there's not much performance your going to get from a mazdaspeed front bumper, its just there for looks, but hey its your car.

 

No, I got mazdaspeed flywheel, Agency pully, K&N, RP short shiftter, light rims/lugnuts, racing beat flash, RX7store midpipe, Hymee exhuaust, Koni yellow shock with racing beat springs, Progresssive sway bars, mazda speed strut bars front/back, Amsoil syn trannie fluid, ATB blue high temp brake fluid, etc on the car. I just don't want to spend money on things that doesn't matter much. Your car look great man. I like to watch those video that you made on your exhaust on Youtube.com. I am saving up money soon to get a turbo once warranty is near. Car runs fine as is but faster is always good.

 

its not a chop, Razz1 just painted it half with black,i'm sure those RE looks good

 

Random snaps. Bringing VR to the top.

 

 

My 10 years in graphic design must be wearing on me. I see a copy, reversed horizontaly , and pasted portion of the side skirt behind the front wheel. Mazda making a new part? If it's fabricated and real, I'd love to see a close up. Kinda cool idea.

 

Damn you take excellent pics... Very creative!!

 

Thx love. Random moments in time when I just look at the car and say to myself, "That would be a really cool shot." My silver Jeep was to the left, sun was setting, perfect light.

 

its not RE side skirt but RB

Now that makes sense. Thanks Foo. I like it alot. But you can see how I thought it was chopped? Hehe. Pictured blurred too much.

 

I've been here for far too long without posting pictures in this thread. My car is not where I want it to be yet but, I this is the latest "photo shoot"

 

My pics will actually be coming sooner than expected... Just ordered my wheels and tires! Just a few more things to go...

Looking at Mid August now...

 

The wait is maddening..

 

Babe, I promise the wait wil be worth it. Hell, I may post a pic of me in it too.

 

Ja, I didn't like the wide shirts of Mazda speed and others.

 

razz you need some new pictures, those are the same pictures from when you first installed the kit. you got to come out to a san bernardino meet again we will hit you up with some shots.

 

What do your guys think about the front plate? I got pull over 4 times and result in 1 tickets and 2 cops threating me of giving me a ticket everytime they see me driving without a front plate on the bumper. Previously I mounted mine on the front windshield. While other people getting away with it....I don't....and I don't know why....So here are some photo of my car with the plate mount from underneatch the front bumper. At least I didn't put holes on the front of the expensive Mazdaspeed bumper. The holes are under the front bumper which I can live with. I don't think it look too bad....I have to give credit to my friend from MN Mazda RX8 club that help me make this happen.







Sorry about the last photo. The picture was out of focus because I afraid people think I am crazy taking my own car photo in the parking lot. People at work already know that I am the crazy guy that walk around his car with windex and a towel in his hand each morning before going inside the building....They give me a nick name "Mr. Clean". Anyway, the plate is not touching the front bumper. It is extended out around 1 cm. or so.

 

Hahaha.

 

TEASE!

 

Damn front plates suck no matter what. I guess I'm lucky in my area. 4 years and 2 different cars without front plates.

 

I think that might be even worse for the car than having it touch. How sturdy is that bracket? I would be worried that at higher speeds it may flap back and forth hitting the bumper.
