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.

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!

As far as fitment, we'll see over time. The guys at Shine are pretty **** 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!

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

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.
