$20 says the first bumper will roll off the production line ready for sale within 21 days, the hour is nearing for those of you who have been waiting!

Once I find the right 8 for me, I'm plopping the cash down ASAP!

So, does anyone want photos from test fitting?

Yes, this bumper is coming! Sooner than you think!

iz wantz da fotoz frum daz teztz fittinz

I just got an email from Ken saying someone is supposed to be going in Saturday for test fitting. Is that you?

Yes sir!

I'll be going by Shine this Saturday and after that you all should be on your way to great fitting FEED replicas! I'll post up an update this coming weekend after the work is done.

Nice! You will have lots of people here waiting for pics! I will be most interested in pics of the sides though.

I want it now!!!!!!! tilt you lucky bastard!

been waiting for this for YEARS - glad this is finally coming around

I'm only doing the test fitting for the FEED replica kit, not staying on my car.

Guys, right now this is the preliminary stage. We're setting the mold after fitting the authentic FEED (;)) then will be throwing that on the car for better pictures of exact fitment. I'll take some more close up/detailed pics at that time and give my real impression of the fitment at that time. For now, we're looking at eye candy.

But hey, at least this will be continuously updated and has a foreseeable release date!

OOOHHHHH THIS THING IS GOING TO BE SICK!!!!

rare, functional, amazing fitment, great styling, for sure one of the best bumpers you can get out there imho...

pictures coming soon :)

Pics update?

except with replicas like this things like Rare get thrown out the window, and fitment will suffer over time the more the mold is used more and more,,,

Heh, can't argue there, about the rarity. Then again, Shine has a quality Kenstyle rear replica that I would consider rare.

As far as fitment, we'll see over time. The guys at Shine are pretty anal about fitment of their different parts, from what I can see, so I'm sure quality will be prime. Also, their composite material seems pretty kickass.

I forgot my camera and my phone was dying so I wasn't able to get much. I'll be going in again to get a more detailed/"pretty" photoshoot.

Fitment is good, as expected, and there will be very minimal work required before they pump out some bumpers. Eventually we'll have pictures of the Shine product on my car and I'll be sure to take pics of key areas...

To clarify, the bumper is merely sitting on my car, the corners are not bolted nor is the underpanel.

On an interesting note, the side skirts from FEED are contoured to the side of the rx8. Not only do the bolts in the front and back match up perfectly, the curved side skirt makes 3M application easy as cake! Hopefully shine will cary this feature over to their product, its very helpful!

In regards to bold statement: +1

I was there talking to Ken about kits and fitments. We walked over to where one of the guys was molding a kit and he gave him an ear full for being a millimeter off on something. He told the guy to trash it and start all over. At first i thought he was just trying to impress me, but then i saw how many times he's had to start over and thought twice lol.

What all kits does Shine make a replica of?

when is the gb son?

Rotr8,

Your sides are made by Shine right? How was the fitment? I'm thinking about the feed replica sides for my car. If I go with them then they will be part of my winter project of massaging parts into my own ;)

I'd only get the front bumper.. since it's quite damn expensive to get imported..

but yes, i REALLY REALLY want this kit...

I am ready for this to be released
