I need help figuring out what bumper this is?



I really want to figure out exactly what this bumper is and where i can buy it. I have found some that are close but i can not find this one with the little vents on the side etc.
any help would be awesome! And if any of you are the owner of this car, congrats because i am jealous! the only thing i know is that it's clearly a series one rx8 and my assumption is it was ordered from japan not US

Ok after looking that up i found the knockoff version Duraflex R-Speed Body Kit as well. that helps out a lot! i am going to do more research on both and see which way to go (i am no stranger to fiberglass/bondo/shaving work to make the bumper fit perfect anyway).

Everyone here will hate you if you get a Duraflex. Not worth the effort.

Why is that? Duraflex sounds like it has a lot going for it. Without knowing beforehand, could you tell duraflex apart from something different?

I bought a genuine Ings+1 kit (expensive) which it probably in the top 5 brands as far as fit goes. Sure I have customized a few peices, but I have spent around 75 hours shaping and sanding this thing to fit perfect. Like I said, this is one of the best quality fitting kits there is.

If you but a cheap one, good luck is all I can say. Oh yeah, if you pay someone to do it, your talking big $$$ to make it fit right

My wife got me a Duraflex MS style spoiler a while back..

I did the test fitting, no go. I can do all of this work myself without issue. But it would still take WAY more man hours and repair work than it's worth.

So i will replace it with either a true MS spoiler or For Carbon Fiber Mazda 2004 2010 RX8 Mspeed JDM GT Rear Wing Trunk Spoiler | eBay

Anyone have any experience with that spoiler?
