Im very interested in this bumper but this group sign up doesn't seem to be working out!

They can be reached through e-mail. Just follow their directions.
I contacted them about the fenders and they replied within 24 hours on both inquires. The pricing for the fenders was $595 for the pair and $155 for the strakes.

i dont know where they're getting the kits from or whos making it. sorry i've been out for a few days due to SEMA but i'm back now..
I was going to copy the kit.. it wont be a 100% copy from mazda as we're making the kit using pictures alone (which is why we can modify it a bit =P)

im more seriuosly interested in the white kit than the blue one. id be willing to put down $400 for the front bumper of that one. The blue one though is $450 shipped to my door from accolade.

you can say it was Mazda Prototype Inspired =P as theres no way to copy the kit anyways since we cant get our hands on one..
This project will offically begin when we get a RX-8.. (we'll have one free for our use after aug 18 [LA HIN VIP Autofashion Show]) or we'll see if any ones up for letting us use their car in exhcnage for a free painted bumper =P
Lazi, I know its kinda weird but any chance you can find out of Tanabe made any thing for the G35 Coupe? I know they tested a coupe for underbody braces but I dunno if they ever finished it. I'm not a vendor for tanabe nor do I have their catalog =(

Ya, is this bumper unpainted?
So many of you are seperating the different companies by colors of white or blue... I got a yellow, where the hells the yellow...
Could you send this pre-painted? Or is shipping pre-painted a bad idea?

I think the front bumper would look better if it were smooth rounded instead of coming to a point, just doesn't seem to flow with the rest of the curves of the car. still, i definately want those fenders.

PFRP Is an Acronym for POLY FIBER REINFORCED PLASTICS. A Flexible Variant Of FRP. Its extremely lightweight and allows for excellent fitment.

Did anyone actually place an order for the bumper or for the fenders ?
Would appreciate to hear whether there were any issues with
the delivery or fitting them to the 8.
