Yet another Sunlight silver with the Tsunami front end!

Looking forward to getting it, not many Rx-8's in Canada, let alone with any body mods.

IMO, yes, but only because MS is everywhere.
I do like the MS, but prefer tsunami over it.

Well it might look better, but its not the best. Mazdaspeed comes painted, fits perfect and gives no hassles. This could be considered best. my opinion though. To me this tsunami looks ok if you have other aero parts to give it a more aggressive look. Cause if you only have the front bumper then it looks plain. Too ricy. Yours does look good with the intercooler

Actually No it dont. It has the same body lines and fits in. Unlike this one where it just stands out and has no body lines that match. But w.e dont go get all offensive on me :p

I'm not, but that just seems extremely contradictary. The Mazdaspeed looks horrible without a package on the rest of the car. Most front bumpers alone look horrible without a package on the rest of the car.

Well the mazdaspeed is one of the best looking bumpers, and if you look at any car thats totally stock with no aero parts it still will look good. That bumper just looks inplace more than the others. I only have front and stock sides. and it looks good if u ask me.

edit: Looks good man, maybe all black wheels?
