Interest: RX-8 MazdaSpeed Prototype Front Bumper!


I've been gathering some interest on this site for a while now and reading some threads but a friend of mine suggest the RX-8 Mazda Speed Proto Front Bumper to be made (One shown in Tokyo Auto Salon 2006). The material will be Poly Urathane and it'll take roughly ONE month to make - if everything goes smoothly and please keep in mind we are not replicating but creating from scratch.

Fitment: Fitment will be GARENTEED to 100% from where the headlight meet, where the hood meets, corner lights, even how the underbody is attached! Fitment will not be overlooked and anyone questioning our products can see our line of G35 and 350z products. G35 includes the famous: NISMO Front Bumper, Top Secret Front Bumper, and INGs Kit all in Poly Urathane! IF for some reason you are not happy at the end of it all I'll personally refund your money free of charge or send you a replacement. So far I have NEVER had to refund a customers order or send a replacement.

The price will be roughly $500-$600 depending on shipping (we're local So-Cal) this will be a exclusive GB price and the bumper will be offered for much more retail. The price is this much due to the amount of labor that must be put into this project. We do not have anything to work with but pictures but i assure you it'll come out just like the pictures!

Interest List: I need a Total of 20 SERIOUS buyers to start this project. The full payment will be required before this project begins but I will work on just doing a deposit if we can get more then 20 buyers!

what kind of deposit do you need? is this bumper 100% guaranteed to be made? if you are willing to make this bumper, how about this one?

http://images.rotarynews.com/images/...X-8/index.html

How much would it cost to make the rear spoiler of that rx8?

Just so you know, the picture of the white car (not from maybeashinka?'s link, but the original post) is the original Mazdaspeed kit, the one that is widely available. You can tell the concept Mazdaspeed by the top of the main opening being lower than the tops of the oil cooler openings (less of a gaping hole).

I would love to see a cross between the white one maybeashinka posted and the blue concept. I like the sides of the white one because it keeps the line of the front fender flair going (below the corner light). The blue concept, like the original Mazdaspeed kit, smooths this out and it looks a little strange. I don't like the main opening on the white kit though, it has what looks like a bevel around the edge that doesn't fit with the oil cooler openings. I also don't like fins at the bottom of the main opening or the foglight on a stick idea. The openings on the blue concept are hot though.

That can be done.. with no problem. sorry i just noticed that the white and blue bumers were different (should sleep earlyer) lol

As soon as theres 20 people interested it'll be made. so the chances of this bumper being made is the same chance as 20 people signing up..

Very interested, just want to know how much the deposit would be!

Oh yeah, are you going to be producing the fenders as well?

one project at a time... But because we're sculpting the blue prototype front end I can make any adjustments such as aipex8's recommendation. So hows a hybrid between the Mazda Proto and the White RX-8?

Can I get more info on that white RX-8? who made that front? Also I thought someone was already producing those fenders. Making those fenders are possible but I try to stear away from fenders cause they're VERY hard to make 100% and can be VERY costly.

Ah, my biggest question is would it accomidate the oem fog lights? Also, I think I'm in the same boat as Aipex8 and would like a cross between to the two. Someone on here should get started on some real photoshopping mixing the two together with different variations. If we can get a solid consensus on what it should look like and a good photoshop of what the final product will look like I will certainly be in.

I'm in socal so would that eliminate shipping fees?

Front bumper, yeah I'm pretty sure.

Heres a qucik photochop onto white, really isn't that good but I did it in a rush.

edit: just changed it to stock wheels, no side skirts, no strakes, reg gas cap, and no front plate

I agree. The fenders look sweet. Not to much but just enough.
