nice and clean. Get the r3 sides it should finish it off nicely.

thanks yea im working on getting the side skirts and a few other things slowly but surely

Man i want a r3 front bumper bad ...... lookin great

Looks good man. And all 8's are special (well most).

You know it looks pretty darn good without the R3 lower lip installed. Makes the conversion a lot more affordable since the R3 bumper is pretty much the same price as the non R3 one. I may go this route as well! Pretty sure the bumper is still stiff without the lower lip right? Won't flap in the wind? And did you reuse your original lower middle piece as well? Thanks!

and is it just me or does it actually look better without the fogs

Looks great! Oh and thanks for the welcome at JDMChi ha ha :Peace::rollingla

yea the bumper is pretty stiff. i used the factory mounting points and the middle piece too most of it bolted right up the inner fenders i would recommend getting the R3 ones being that the others are different

hahaha whats up dude

Not too much, was browsing on the site and I thought the user name seemed familiar!

This is a conversion to facelift version?

So where did you get the bumper and how much?

I got the bumper online thur a Mazda dealer that gave me a good price but retail the bumper is like 400 but I'm sure you can find them cheaper then that tho

not sure what you're asking so I hope this is the answer you're looking for lol
Its an OEM Mazda R3 bumper

Looks good. Anyway, you need the rest of the aero package to complete the look.

Nah , not what i meant. This car is the facelift model , i was asking whether this car really is the facelift version or you have converted the older rx-8 to the facelift version with buying new parts.

lol

I agree. I think it looks better without the fogs as well.

yes it a series 2. and it has a R3 front.

unless he changed the front fenders and did a bunch of work to the rear end

this!

got some new pictures from WEKFEST Chicago

The car looks good. It's nice to see what people are doing with the S2's. What are the specs on the wheels and what springs or coilovers are you running?

Looks good! Running STX?

Looks awesome man, are you running the Autoexe air box piece?

thanks!

my wheels are 18x8.5 33 ET 5zigen proracer (hand polished)
bilstein Pss9 coilovers
yup! STX in the milwaukee SCCA

no :( i kinda stole the idea tho and made my own

Well it looks good man, I always wanted the Autoexe piece but damn it's expensive.

Nice S2. I like the work done thus far. Car looks really clean.

^^thank you sir




yea the price is nuts on them... my next mod will be the intake tube its self i found a few things that i can make it out of but im trying to make sure that its something that doesnt look ghetto or hand made if you know what i mean

Nice job on your car! How do you like the pss9? I'd like some feed back compared to your old suspension set up. It's probably night and day. I'm in this conflict in wether to go with the fatcatmotorsports or the pss9. My r3 suspension is quite good for what it is. Oh by the way, that drop is awesome!! What is it set at?

Why not hydrodip the intake box like the other pieces?

Looks good.

i think Pss9 is an awesome set up good for the street and perfect for autox. i have it at 6 up front and 3 in the back (but ill be changing that for my next autox) as for how low i am i have no clue i just played with it till it sat right

it will be hydrodipped i got sponsored last min before WEKFEST and ran out of time teamgileto handed me the covers at the show thats how close it came down to lol

wow it's been a while since I've posted

rims?

good ole BBS RSIIs

Just came across this thread and man that looks good! It does look good without fog lights. Did you paint your headlights black to make them look like the Spirit Rs?

The car looks amazing, not a fan of those graphics but it seems as though they're gone now. Have you had any fender work done?

yeah, I blacked them out to look close to the Spirit Rs.. I've seen a few people paint theirs but all black and I hated the way they look... so with a little modding and some paint and turn out this way

Thanks... yeah the graphics are gone... kinda my retro them from an RX3 but didn't last on the car long... some fender work, rolled and pulled fenders
