RX8-vision
 

Just found this from LEG motorsports offical website.

They have designed a new front bumper that resembles rx-vision.

Nice :-)

Looks cool!

Looks really good, but I'm afraid that with those big intakes next to the grill that I'd vacuum litter, leaves, squirrels, small children and other debris off the street and clog something up.

:rollingla

Is there any interest to order this?
If a couple people want it we could all save on shipping over to North America.. and potentially get a group rate

I actually like that...

Don't like the late 90s Camaro-esque hood scoop. Else it's not bad.

Build quality is excellent. The carbon inlay is a little odd. What they did was just not put gelcoat around those accent areas. We'll have to tape it all off to paint it. This is also going on an S1 car, so there will be some modifications to it. The accent lights don't come with it, so I'll have to order those separately now...

I don't think it'll fit an S1 at all. The headlight cutouts are different :sad:

It's composites... anything can be changed. My body guy will make it clean. I'm not worried about it.

Sweeeet post pics when it's done! :ylsuper:

That would look great on my car

FYI most of us here have the same car.

Not bad! I liked the Grey Leg Motorsports car that appeared in a more recent Hot Version video where they were comparing used budget RWD sports cars including an AP1 S2000, NB Miata, Caterham, etc. The RX-8 actually won the Touge Battle portion.

Got a link to that video? Love seeing the 8 on Hot Version.

you'll hav to let me know how much when it's done. i nearly ordered this myself in February before going a different way with my money (bought my wife a Tacoma).

If/when i get back to working on the 8 ill be looking to get this kit

I'll poke you once I get the car back, or if he sends me any pictures. It would probably be easier to do the S2 swap to install it than what I'm doing, but the panspeed wide fenders are S1, so it was all going to be custom anyway...

Sure thing. The budget FR cars sections is about 3/4s of the way through.

Thanks! The RX8 beat the BMW M225i! Damn.

when it got in front it was pulling away the whole time :)

No problem!

I was surprised that it beat the S2000 honestly, but the setup looked really good. The car just gripped and Taniguchi was able to just put power down at corner exit without the car getting upset over the bumps.

I'm not surprised at all. The S2000 has better numbers on paper in some ways, but... Unless you install a huge front sway bar and a huge rear wing, it will step out on you like crazy. The RX-8 is a much better balanced car.

Back when I was doing time trials, I could determine with near 100% accuracy, whether I was going to beat an S2000, simply by the absence or presence of a giant APR.

Cool vid. Much enjoy.

Makes us realize just how amazing our cars are. I can't even imagine how cool it must have been to have one of these back in 2003.

I agree with Steve - anyone who laughs at the RX8, the moment they drive it or ride as a passenger realize we got a great deal on a car with phenomenal handling and good performance (and if you drive it like the engineers designed it). We paid far less than for that Porsche.

^ To that end, one of my favorite things to do is humiliate Lotus owners. I routinely beat Elise / Exige cars. Evoras are also usually not a problem. I have much more difficulty with the Evora S model, if driven by a competent driver on good rubber. People really have no idea how good this car truly is.

My goal for this weekend is to get my 8 ready for track duty again. As good as my Miata is, it just isn't the same as the 8. The 8 is in a higher league.

Decided to S2 swap the front end instead. All the mounting brackets should be here in the next few days. Ordered the Spirit R lights.

$$pendy bumper cover but would love to see it in BB :)

It comes in black gelcoat... lol.

I'll be doing the car in a candy brandywine. Have to get the engine stuff done first.

Bet it will look good!

All bumper brackets and Spirit R headlights are in. I'll take them to the body shop this weekend. It'll probably be a couple months before everything is done, but it's moving along.

wait- what are you doing with the vision bumper?

oh wait i see. you are getting all the stuff to make the front "s2" the vision will fit without altering?

Yea I decided to just swap the front to an S2 instead of modifying the bumper. I dropped it all off with the body shop last Saturday. They have a lot of work to do on the car, so I'm not sure when it'll be done.

bump for an update please :)

Body shop guy lost 2 of his helpers, so he's behind. He'll work on finishing it up next month...

I love their other body kits and bumpers, that being said I think this kit is ugly. Love the thought though!

updates?

I'll check back in 2019.

probably the best fitting bumper out of the box I've ever owned. solid quality. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...79cbcedbce.jpg

looks good with that hood.looking forward to seeing it finished :)

That looks ferocious... Wow.

I noticed around the center of the bumber looks like carbon fiber does it come like that so you doesn't have to paint it?

not a fan of the mirrors but looks good otherwise

The whole bumper is carbon, but they use a black gel-coat and only expose the carbon around the mouth and fog lights.

1000 CAD shipping for that is crazy.

Here is another picture of this amazing bumper:

I wish it weren't $1.5k and I would buy it for multiple Rx8 projects! Trying to find someone who can replicate it locally so I don't have to pay for the crazy international shipping. Don't think it's going to be possible. Best face for the Rx8 no doubt about it.

Love the look of that bumper , very sharp!👍

Anyone else installed this bumper? looks amazing

Not a huge fan of newer mazda front bumpers; however, with a few other cosmetic upgrades I think that bumper would help make a really unique 8. Looks great!
