I'm not into it that much either...its too different of a design and I could see it looking outdated in a few years. I usually like to remain "OEMish" (is that a word???lol) in design with stuff that looks like you could've purchased the car that way from the factory because then it doesn't look outdated as the car ages.

The Mazdaspeed is too simplistic for me and everyone has it, I would just keep the stock one.

The ATH replica that I posted is close enough to the stock lines that I don't have an issue, the Re-Amemiya one looks very close in design to the stock 09 bumper so it goes with the car and the SE-02 is simple and subdued enough that I could see the RX-8 coming like that from the factory.

We'll see where this takes me...feel free to make more suggestions.

Best regards,

Chris

Chris, you are running out of options! You do not want to pay the JDM price for the bumper(s) you want and you are not liking what is stateside.

I just remembered Racing Beat produces two bumpers as well.

Type 1




Type 2

i was considering the rb type 2 for a bit.

but then i wanted an intake/radiator area that could eat small children.

Don't know if you have allready bought the bumper, but in my opinion, ATH looks nice in reality, and I liked it when I saw it on this with my eyes... looks agrressive with eyelids and so..

Are those only fitted for 09 models?

^No. An easy way for you tell is the opening for the corner lights The 09+ RX8s the side marker is on the fender itself.

Vivid gets my vote. The others are a little cluttered IMO.... or smiley...

^Vivid is a reseller. The link in the first post is SE-02 bumper made by Autoexe.
