1) If there is enough demand on this kit, the design team might start work on a rear so don't count a rear out just yet.
2) We looked into having them but they just turned out to be an eyesore and took away from the lines of the car. Therefore we left them out and continued the lines on the fender into the front bumper for a smooth transistion.
Hope that answers your questions

I like the front. 1/2 Ings, 1/2 Auto-bahn. However, the abundance of gutter-guard in the front is horrible. How can all these kit makers design a wicked looking front bumper, only to fill the front with $3 of expanded metal??? Two grand for the kit, and we get a home depot grille. Not to rip this kit in particular, most are guilty. It just really shows up in these pix, other manf's hide it.

If anyone is gonna make it out to the Formula D event on July 9th check out the Tsunami RX8 with its new Turbo and see how the front mount fits with our kit and also hopefully our audio system will be completed as well.

I just got off the phone with Auggie at Tsunami and he notified me that the sideskirts are completed and should be ready to ship within the next week. For those that are interested in the sideskirts.

Here is a pic of the Tsunami kit with the greddy front mount. Remember that this is not to exact specs since we have not fitted it on the car yet but just to get an idea of the size of the intercooler to the mouth of the Tsunami kit. We will probably be modifying the piping to the kit to have the intercooler as close to the front of the mouth as possible.
