TX Photoshop Request: Please make Velocity Red

I have only seen this on one rx8 beside the RB RX-8 and it was Sunlight Silver as well. What do you guy think? Should I get the front? Yes or no?

If someone could photoshop it VR, I would appreciate it.

I'll see if my girlfriend can find a few minutes to photoshop this for you (Might not be until tonight). If you have a picture at a similar angle (Doesn't have to be the same) she can just throw that bumper onto your car and match up the paint.

Looks nice though. Not too much, but enough to make it have a nice stance.

i wouldn't risk it, im guessing you're tired of the stock bumper but imo this bumper looks pretty risky, could ruin that perfect look you've got going on.

I've been considering putting those side skirts on my car with an OEM lip. You definitely don't see that front bumper too often - even on here.

I could only find one person who had this bumper installed and the car was also Sunlight Silver with a two tone black paint scheme and the worst wheels and stance ever.

that's because its tooooooo stock looking for you to even realize. I say pass and get something a bit more aggressive. I am not saying go crazy or anything but you should get something that changes the look a bit. That's why I like the ms bumper. distinctively different than stock but still modest

Not aggressive enough for your wheels. Even just some side skirts would help out a lot depending on what your going for.

I have sides skirts (burn out) and rears (stock flares) going on soon. I don't want anything super aggressive but at the same time I feel like my car gets over looked as stock despite all the mods. But then again I like that it looks relatively stock.

Cwest is my next option.

Thanks camcenters, that looks much better. My inter-cooler would definitely be on display with that bumper.

Broke the tie (for now).

Voted in favor of passing.

Like others have said, it's a bit underwhelming. Its nice but ehhh...Its like being at a strip club at noon on a wednesday....sounds good initially but then your common sense kicks in. Not to say its terrible, i just don't think it's the right fit.

...why not vertex? or Autoexe se02? (caution - se02 bumper will probably not line up w/the burnout sides).

You can't get the se-02. That's the one I want.

Be good Atilla or I will promote the super mustache bumper.

I like the vertex, it's one of my favs but been done here. I want to get on par with sifu, not copy him though, He is going turbo now so that levels him up even more too.

The shipping and **** associated with getting a JDM bumper is just nuckin' futz.
