Now I am using a custom crash bar with brackets wielded on and a quick disconnect fitting.
You can also wield brackets to the stock crash bar. If anyone wants the brackets, hardware and tow hook, just let me know and I can have my fabricator make you some. Shouldnt be too much.

For the material and labor your looking at around $500. I actualy spent $500 just in labor plus I bought all the hooks and brackets myself. My fabricator said he can buid it a second time for $400 labor. So I can cource the required tubing, brackets, tow hook if desired and anything else you want/need like the quick disconnect pens, heim joints and threaded tubing. Also to save on shipping cost, I might be able to find a stock crash bumper localy to modify and ship you instead having you ship me yours.
PM me if you want to proceed.
FYI. I used 1.5" .063" chromoly tubing. Using something a little thicker might be a better idea. This setup weighed in at 11 LBS and yielded me about 6.5lbs in weight savings over my prevous set up of tow hooks and brackets. Stock crash bar weighs 15.6lbs

Ah, ic.
I'm ask local fabricator and see how much he'll charge for similar setup.
How long does it take to get it done? From getting all the items to finish product?
I might travel to SanFran at the end of this year, maybe get it done while I'm up there.
Thanks!

I'm going to a local rotary shop, they do different like of mod and fabrication.
The owner has a 20B Rx-2, i think, and a 13B miata.
I'll ask them first and go from there.
Many thanks!

Wow...thanks for all the replies! I think I might try to make one but I have no clue how to get started or where I can get the materials from...is there a DIY on this?

Yah, the whole point of the thread is that there is no aftermarket splitter available for the rx8. I can have one made for you with ABS or Alumalite. I have both a stock bumper and a masdaspeed bumper templete. If you have the apperance kit I think it just sits a little lower and out a litte farther. PM me if interested.
