Buddyclub front bumper. Opinions?
The paint on my OEM front bumper and airdam is practically peeling away now so its time for a change of looks. At first when I saw this bumper I didn't particularly like it, but the more I look at it the more fond of it I grow.
What are your guys' opinions on this bumper? I would have it painted oem sunlight silver and the side cannards that are part of it (kinda hard to see in the pic) I would have painted black. I would also mount the oem fogs into this bumper.
Let me know what you all think! Honesty will be appreciated since you guys are my community. The most current pic of my car is the sigpic.
Thanks

I only have the sides and they are getting installed right now, fitment and finish is excellent out of the box. Check out the Calling all Buddy Club thread for more details on the front bumper.

i despise the buddyclub front. i hate it so much.
i hate that it is a universal design, they just adapt it to fit the bumper of many cars. Its the farthest thing from unique and it doesnt make any sence, what the hell are those pill cutouts in the bumper? sorry. it reminds me of a honda, it reminds me of everything else.
im sorry, but i think a bodykit makes a car unique, this bodykit is making the rx8(a one of a kind car) into something more common and takes away from the car.
I however endorse these bumpers lol

feed is wayyy aggressive...unless you plan on having a mean setup on wheels and a nice fat intercooler, sure go for it. autoExe is also a perfect bumper, subtle with a nice lip.
i still stand with my word about the buddy club. might be the same for every other car, but the rx8 pulls it off like no other.

and then you STILL need to paint youre bumper.
contact Ken at Shineautoproject if you are interested in the feed front bumper. But like dozer said, i would order the sideskirts along with the front. Its very aggressive and needs aggressive sides, drop and wheels. from your sig pic (which is huge, resize it) it looks like you have a good drop and decent wheels.
when paired with the rmagic CF lip, the rmagic front bumper is teh sex.
rmagic+cf lip///Feed///autoexe///knightsports///mazdaspeed/// thats my preference.
oh and at the end of the day... the cf lip by leg and the cf lip by evo-r both like equally as shitty when they are ripped to shreds after a few months of scraping. Except id rather pay evo-r's prices and save some money.

Of all of the bumpers you posted, I like the Knight Sports best. Probably the most expensive out of the bunch though. Would look mean with the concave rims, but you'll destroy it if you run that low. LOL
