Okay so, you may cringe but....

I was going on a back road the other day to my brothers house and i was going about 55 around a turn and literally at the last second a fox jumps out and it gets scooped up in that stupid factory air scoop and ITS ACTUALLY IN THE FRONT OF MY BUMPER STUCK luckily i was only about 10 seconds from his house and i pull in his driveway and i can just hear my bumper dragging, i hear yelping and crying and the fox is still alive inside of my car, he broke the 2 support brackets and was actually 100% in the bumper on the skid plate, theres 3 big cracks in the actually bumper, pretty much all the supports for the skid plate and rim around it are broken or missing, its completely jacked, mazda dealership quoted me like $400 for JUST the rim and the skid plate, i was going to get a aftermarket bumper eventually but what a better time, SO down to business,

I really like the Buddy Club and Xmen bumpers,

I also like gregs bumper but idk which one it is (pictured here : https://www.rx8club.com/members/gregs-37337/ )

So my question is, Which bumper do you guys recommend?

Any known Pro/Cons, Comments, Rates? anything here

Choices:
Buddy Club
X-Men
"Gregs"

Also i have a link for the buddy club bumper (for purchase)
but does anyone have a link for the x-men or the bumper featured on gregs car?

Thanks in advance everyone!!

 

Fox Pwn.

I've always been a fanboi of the Mazdaspeed bumper, but they don't make them anymore. You might be able to find an authentic one for sale from another forum member, although, the authentic is a tad bit pricy, but well worth it.

Make sure you check the FS/WTB thread often, you never know what deals you may find on body parts you're looking for, and starting a WTB thread may yield results as well!

 

Wow that sucks. Damn fox.

 

What happened to the fox?

 

Pictures or it didn't happen

 

Foxes legs were skinned and broken more or less and it was all cut up and stuff, we took a big branch from the tree and the fox bit it and we pulled it out but it was really jacked up, my brothers a cop so he shot it and we put it in a trashbag and threw it in the trashcan, sad.

 

gregs is an INGs bumper

Ebay stuff is supposed to look nice, but beware of terrible fitment. I'd so some more searching.

Edit: -1 for trashing a fox. >.>

 

that looks to be a r-magic replica, beware of fitment with ebay products. in the long run its better to save your money for an authentic kit.
