FS "Fabulous" Rear Bumper
Selling my authentic fabulous rear bumper. Not sold in America, I had it imported from Japan. As far as I know I had the only one on rx8 club, so it pretty damn rare. The bumper is painted brilliant black. Took it off the car today, so it's pretty much ready. If I ship it you'll have to give me a few days. I can only ship it on Saturdays as during the week I don't have much time. Located in Chicago, any local pickups get dibs. Cost me almost a grand to import it a few years back.
550 picked up, 650 shipped.

i'd have to paint NG so if you do $550 shipped you may have a buyer. i was going to do the MS rear but i really like this one. i know it's a long shot but let me know if you want to come down in price.

just out of curiosity (and opportunity i guess), are you going back to stock rear or you have other plans?

Fitment is very good, had to massage the drivers side corner but after a little work it was perfect. Bumper is off the car so I cant take any fitment pictures but I'll try to dig up some. It's hard to capture the lines of the bumper in black with a regular camera. Looks much better in person.

any snapshots of it off your car would help, just to see it up close maybe.
so you think i could slap it on myself since you did all the fitment work?

I just came....but IMHO a WWP should buy it... looks best in WWP just like the Fabulous RX8... if you were local I would have bought it... but you are waaaaaay to far for shipping.

Here's a few close up shots of the bumper. Sorry for the bad quality. Bumper was really dirty, tried to clean it with a wet cloth. Paintwork may need a buff and wax to get rid of the swirls. Its not as bad as in the pictures, had a lamp directly over the bumper so its a little exaggerated. The bumper has a little soot buildup over the exhaust openings, nothing a good clean or claybar cant get rid of. Also noticed there's a couple paint cracks around the exhaust openings, nothing major, a good touch up job should work. I can paint the bumper for an additional 150 if anyone is interested. This way you will get a perfect bumper in your color. Any body shop will charge you 300+.
