heres a few pictures of my 8 nothing special
these are from last months shoot and the last ones are the most recent
thanks for looking

 

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

 

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
