Im very interested in this bumper but this group sign up doesn't seem to be working out!

They can be reached through e-mail. Just follow their directions.

I contacted them about the fenders and they replied within 24 hours on both inquires. The pricing for the fenders was $595 for the pair and $155 for the strakes.

Not sure, Zoom said that he had more info and was going to post a topic on it but still hasn't. According to info he gathered in an email "its very possible" that they made the kit seen at the Tokyo Auto Saloon

i dont know where they're getting the kits from or whos making it. sorry i've been out for a few days due to SEMA but i'm back now..

I was going to copy the kit.. it wont be a 100% copy from mazda as we're making the kit using pictures alone (which is why we can modify it a bit =P)

you can say it was Mazda Prototype Inspired =P as theres no way to copy the kit anyways since we cant get our hands on one..

This project will offically begin when we get a RX-8.. (we'll have one free for our use after aug 18 [LA HIN VIP Autofashion Show]) or we'll see if any ones up for letting us use their car in exhcnage for a free painted bumper =P

Lazi, I know its kinda weird but any chance you can find out of Tanabe made any thing for the G35 Coupe? I know they tested a coupe for underbody braces but I dunno if they ever finished it. I'm not a vendor for tanabe nor do I have their catalog =(

Ya, is this bumper unpainted?

So many of you are seperating the different companies by colors of white or blue... I got a yellow, where the hells the yellow...

Could you send this pre-painted? Or is shipping pre-painted a bad idea?

HitMann what was the $US, will the bumper match up correctly with the stock fenders or do you need to buy both?

I think the front bumper would look better if it were smooth rounded instead of coming to a point, just doesn't seem to flow with the rest of the curves of the car. still, i definately want those fenders.

PFRP Is an Acronym for POLY FIBER REINFORCED PLASTICS. A Flexible Variant Of FRP. Its extremely lightweight and allows for excellent fitment.

Answered my own question

How about the Polyurethane? Does it sag in the Summer heat? If not, and the fitament is as you suggest, I'm interested. Add me to your list in post #1

Did anyone actually place an order for the bumper or for the fenders ?
Would appreciate to hear whether there were any issues with
the delivery or fitting them to the 8.
