^ 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!
