just took a better look at that kit in the OP - yeah, that's a straight copy of the Kenstyle - it's just the exhaust holes are different (worse IMO) -

IMHO - looks a bit too over-the-top = ricey

that's just IMO tho

this is coming from a lip kit owner...

The License plate on the kenstyle is above, this one is below. And yeah I figured it would be a bit too ricey. I'm planning to add this rear bumper in with my Ings still debating on it.

I was thinking mazdaspeed rear as well. Unfortunately I dont like the rear from ings, it portruds. I guess its just a matter of taste, or bad taste lol.

actually i kinda agree - compared to other, Ing's wouldn't be top my list. I favor the RMagic rear over ings IMO. It's a lil' more subtle.

The MS rear is a good choice still. I personally like the look of the diffuser - not sure how much function it actually provides but still.

I was looking for a rear piece too not too long ago but ended up just sticking with some rear fairings.

not too many options if you wanna go subtle.

personally, I love the way the Ings rear looks and I think it looks pretty subtle in comparison to many other rear bumpers, but I guess it all depends on what kit you plan to mate this rear bumper to. Honestly though, I can't really tell that it protrudes very much when looking at the bumper as a whole but I think it kind of looks a bit like a small diffuser

Mazda Speed is way overused on this site, go with something more unique... Thats what im trying to do, may end up going with an AIT ABF Front, and skirts... cannot seem to find a rear bumper that i like to save me life.

i do like that bumper you have above and the kenstyle a lot too

sorry for bumpin' this back up but i just stumbled upon during my constant lurking

Link: https://www.rx8club.com/forum/album.php?albumid=1680

apparently there's a forum member with that specific rear w/some actual photos of the product. If you're still interested, hit him up.
