I like the new bumper, very nice!
Is it any lower than the stock bumper?

Not a fan of chrome on any rx-8 but if you like it thats what really matters. Those rims just seem like they belong on a Chrysler 300 or something.

Thx guys. Just put on the front this Sat at the meet. The rest of the kit will come later. The height of the front is almost exactly the same as with the AP lip.

has any1 added an upgraded brake system to their ride? I just dont like the old, rusty, stock brakes as they look horrible against the new rotors. I've looked at brembo but i just dont have 3 grand to drop on a kit at the moment. Anybody have any other brake kit recomendations and pricing?

Its come down to either the brake kit or lambo doors and since i have yet to get a good review on the lambo doors i'm also looking if any1 that CURRENTLY or PREVIOUSLY has/had lambo doors feels that it was a worthwhile modification.

Well, it has 51K miles on it and I plan to switch out during the winters. Plus the wind caught it and knocked it over at the meet. Made for some nice scratches that I'll have fun repairing later.

clearbra your new bumper asap.

i bet you could just order it in sheets from this guy. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2008-...mZ120243522392

its what i plan to do (maybe not this guy i dont know). but when i get a body kit, i will definitely buy a large roll of clearbra and protect my purchase.

No clear bra for me. Besides, I have a home office and the car stays in the garage.
