You can buy it from this website, as I did. That picture is actually a picture of my car the day it came out of the body shop. It looks a little different now.

Not sure if they have it in stock, but they sell it. Too bad you werent buying it a few months ago, they had it on sale!

GL, and post pix! BTW what color is your car?

Thanks SoFL_Rx8!

Aren't you the Titanium Rx8 I met a while back during the Kendal meets? I also think I parked next to you during the Broward meet recently. I also have titanium.

I saw your bumper and thought that it was just right. I see so many that go over board with there design but this one (like the MS bumper) went well with the lines of the car.

Hows the fit and finish? I want to make sure that I dont have to get a body shop to install the bumper. I would like it to snap on.

Hey dude, yeah that was me! As far as I know Im the only TiGray down here with a bodykit down here. Definitly sets me apart from the crowd.

Ive taken it on and off a few times now, both to remove my headlights to spray/tint them, and to install the RB ram air duct (which looks very nice sitting in the front mouth of the Tsunami kit) and it is a VERY simple and painless install. You could definitly snap it right on yourself if you have someone to paint it for ya!

The only issue with fitment is there is a little bit of a gap where the bumper meets the fenders, and the bumper sometimes wants to slide forward a bit causing a slight gap near the headlights... This is not hard to fix though using a little bit of 3m double sided tape in a few places to force the bumper to fit more snuggly. I dont use the tape to acutally hold it on, in fact I put paper on the back side of the tape so it doesnt stick to the car. I only use the 3m to thin out the gaps.

I am actually going downstairs in a few moments to take my front bumper off. I hit a piece of tire on the Turnpike yesterday on my way back from Tallahassee and bent the grill. Gotta pull everything off an hammer it flat again, and while Im at it im Re-installing my foglights.

Look for new pix soon of the foglights installed, hopefully it will come out looking even meaner than before.

Anyhu, if you do decide to get the Tsunami kit I garuntee you'll be a happy man. I STILL do double takes on a very regular basis when walking away from my car, and I cannot being to count how many heads turn at intersections and gas stations. Like you said, I think its one of the most classy yet aggressive kits availible for the 8. Hope you enjoy it!
