i actually like this. the widebody is pretty sexy. minus the 22s. other than that, i think it looks pretty damn good. it looks like the entire front bumper is one piece. you can see the line in front of the brake duct. it must make getting it off a real bitch.

^ I AGREE WITH YA... i didnt notice that at first... BUt i think they modded it so that it opens foward.... kind of like a BIG RIGS front... you get me? But yeah... if they went down from 22's to 20's it would look SUPER SEXY Good thing i found it... I actually seen that front available at one time in some magazine... but i dont remember the name of it... I was even thinking about getting it but at the time i was thinking that the front bumpers openings were way to big and it will let almost anything in..... But now that i look at it, it actuallly looks pretty beastly.... especially when you ahve a BIG **** FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER

I would guess going off the proportions of the main grill area that it started out as a MS front and when they went wied with it modified the rest of the bumper,,,

Not too bad at all,,,

my fav part, and this is a guess, going off what little bit of I can see, is the flat hood, much like AutoExe's or Autobahns hood,,,

Atilla.... Look by the fender... Im guessing since its WIDEBODY and the flat hood and custom front, its a FRONT SHELL LIKE ROTR8 said... and prettty much what i was explainging in my earlier post....

Based on both ur posts.. I think ur right and so am I ... i would like ot see this 8 in person also... looks like its GERMAN/EUROPEAN (not JDM since it has 22's) styling... who knows...If it was in the U.S. somneone would have posted a picture before i would have. It would of been from a HOT IMPORT NIGHTS, SPOCOM, D1GP, Formula Drift or ETC.... ya know?

^Putting some black mesh in the grill to replace the aluminum mesh would make it look 10 times better..

This is the best front end on an 8 I've ever seen. Maybe even best body kit in general with the wide fenders on the rear.

Just don't hit a small dog, squirrel, possum, raccoon, cat, whatever with no protection for those coolers.

the kit is obviously custom. and i agree with turbo, 22s do not belong on an rx8. ugly 22s too...
