KDB MS style bodykit

some ******* backed up on my 8 leaving a dent on my rear bumper. so i was looking for a rear bumper and found this from andys autosport. i might just get the whole kit but i was thinking to get just the rear and get this SE3P RX-8 Spec-A Aero | Shine Auto Project for the front.
ive seen some good feedback about the KDB. so im still kinda deciding on which 1 to get. so i kinda want to ask for opinion to help with the decision.

The ShineAuto is a replica of the Au-to bahn bumper
since you're in Guam, shipping from Japan might not be that bad.

The authentic will have much better quality and fitment. (trust me, I own one) Here's pictures of mine if you want to see the fitment https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multime...2-01-a-212870/

on the other hand, someone backed into my car and messed up my oem bumper. i went with the KBD urethane MS front bumper. fitment was good, especially if you have a shop that is good at bodywork. but right out of the box, very little fitment issues, and not being fiberglass is a plus

yeah, i didnt know twiztog had a kbd. I think ive heard 5+ stories all saying the same thing, fitment was not half bad, required minimal work compared to others.

lets see some pics twiztog??

i have had the vis fiberglass one before the accident, and it fit like ****.

but the kbd fit pretty good right out of the box, and if you know of a body shop that is good with a heat-gun (which is any competent shop) then your set.
the only thing i regret is forgetting to tell them to fill in the KBD stamp at the bottom.

forgot to mention, the fogs are a bit inward because of i decided to go with racing beat fog light brackets, so i dont have to hassle with the fog lights every time i have to take off the bumper, not to mention finding a MS fog light bracket is rare.

Where did you get the part for the grill and do you know if the stock grill fits on the kdb bumper?

So when you installed the kbd front bumper was you able to use the oem front bumper mounting bracket cuse I messed up and bought a duraflex kit and the front bumper lip on the top isnt even wide enough for the oem bracket to line up to where I can drill holes and bolt the oem bracket too
