You know it looks pretty darn good without the R3 lower lip installed. Makes the conversion a lot more affordable since the R3 bumper is pretty much the same price as the non R3 one. I may go this route as well! Pretty sure the bumper is still stiff without the lower lip right? Won't flap in the wind? And did you reuse your original lower middle piece as well? Thanks!

yea the bumper is pretty stiff. i used the factory mounting points and the middle piece too most of it bolted right up the inner fenders i would recommend getting the R3 ones being that the others are different

Looks good. Anyway, you need the rest of the aero package to complete the look.

Nah , not what i meant. This car is the facelift model , i was asking whether this car really is the facelift version or you have converted the older rx-8 to the facelift version with buying new parts.

lol

The car looks good. It's nice to see what people are doing with the S2's. What are the specs on the wheels and what springs or coilovers are you running?
