So my Shinka is amazing and i love the look. Sorry to all you stock guys but i hate the front of the base 8's. Too rounded and what not. Anyways to my point, I'm looking to upgrade my front bumper. I want something thats pretty much perpendicular with the ground ( opposite of rounded haha ). I have seen the mazdaspeed and a buddy club racing front bumper i like. I just wanted to know if you guys have any suggestions, have you put on a body kit, do you like yours, good brands, not cheap looking, etc. Let me hear it guys haha

Hey NewKid. Well I've got a genuine Mazdaspeed front and I love it. Fits perfectly and looks the biz. IMO the Buddyclub kit for the RX8 looks a bit lame (same as pretty much every Buddyclub bumper out there so you'll match Civic's, Accords etc) Have a search through the forum for some threads on fitting aftermarket bumpers too as this may put you off (unless you're willing to spend the extra $ on getting the final fit/finish right)

how would you feel if it went missing in the night

but on topic, the buddyclub bumper is about as appealing as watching your girlfriend give birth to a 20lb baby

Think if it went missing i'd have to go "Taken" on whover did it's a$$. "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my Mazdaspeed bumper go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you"
Oh god thanks for the birth image by the way... Haha
