Make sure to take pics. Tilt if you read this, I know you are going back to Areo, so how much did you raise your car up. I'm debating between aero and leaving the car at its current height, or just getting a new lip, and planting the car on the ground.

Are those the FEED sides? I'm glad they're producing them but I still have the bumper at my house, what is going on, lol...

Fate, you won't really have to raise your car. If you want to be dumped you can do it either way, it's more about a performance preference. I say just leave it down either way :P

Those are the Feed sides. I've had them since October and not sure if they have made anymore.

fate710, the sides are not that low. The OE front splash guards are good 1" lower so I'm sure you can make it work. I need to drop my rear some more and get some spacers until I buy the next set of wheels.

He was thinking about offering a carbon/kevlar lip option for the sideskirts but I'm sure we'll have to see how interest is once the full kit is completed.

I'm guessing the replica mold will be made asap and the full kit will be available. Watch this thread for updates of availability as well as official pricing

They took too long for me. I already ordered a Autoexec splitter/lip.

Years certainly is too long. Good news for others, though, is that there will finally be another replica on the market.

Shine will be the first and only company to offer a replica FEED bumper to the rx8 community, as far as I know

Actually another company has offered it for a year or so. I do not know if they ship to the US though. And it is only $250 USD.

Shine will be the first company to produce a replica FEED bumper available to the US market.*

Better?

I don't think I'd go through the effort of shipping a bumper from Malaysia. Shipping would cost $$ for unknown fitment/quality. I'm sure other Asian replica companies copy the bumper as well, but that's hardly applicable to this forum. But hey, you got me!
