rev8: you can go to the Autobahn website and try emailing them. I purchased mine directly from them at a cheaper price. But since Yamada-san doesn't speak or write English you might have to wait a while before he can get someone to respond to you. He had one of his import/export friends in Taiwan contact me. Ended up shipping was free since it was placed inside his 20 foot container as he imported many things into Taiwan. So you can give it a try. I eneded up getting the kit: front bumber, sides, and 2 piece shrouds with autobahn mirror for about US$1900 I think, it was really cheap. Don't know if it still works but it's worth a try.
www.autobahnsports.jp is the site. But for shipping you might need to contact your local fowarder for help to import that thing in yourself, I recommend going by sea. It'll take a month or a little less but it's worth it. So good luck!!

Sorry made a mistake on the price it was more like: US$1650 for the front bumper, sides steps (pair), and rear mud guard (pair).

I don't know how either hahaha just e-mailed the email address I saw on the website. But it worked right since I got my stuff. But hopefully he's got help for the US like he did for Taiwan. Then they can actually process the order for you in English. Good luck...crossing my fingers. Oh one other thing that price included the mirrors too....I left that out. So if it works it should be a good buy for the original!

i love what you have done to your car like the front bumper goes hard along with the eyelids i have been trying to find them but still can't oh well i just stuck with mine i have. also love the sideskirt it goes just as hard. i have been hoping someone put splitter's on this kit cause ino it is low actually going to ask how you put them on and if you could make a DIY or send me in the right direction to put them on. One last thing idk about the rear bumper i want to keep the ferri look but i think the rear bumper throws it off. although you have well put together it turns out nice. if you have any other ideas on the rear bumper please let me know. so far your's looks the cleanest.

Good job

I'm just curious of what the clearance would be for the autobahn kit on an unlowered, unaltered stock rx8 ? Just wondering if that would decrease the chance of scraping or whatever lol I'm still a nub when it comes to this stuff so any and all help is appreciated : )

An unlowered autobahn kitted rx8 looks... not good.

I felt embarrassed having my kit without being lowered.

You must be looking for a replica because japanparts.com is mentioned/quoted several times in this thread which is where you can go to buy an authentic bumper or the kit.

Also is it ShineAutoProject and not ShineAutoParts...

Here is the link to their site with the replica bumper

SE3P RX-8 Spec-A Aero | Shine Auto Project
