What bumper is this!! (move if needed)
This is one of the best front bumpers I have ever seen. Anyone have any info on it?
BTW-I think the best looking bumpers hands down are as follows in order-
1- mazdaspeed a-spec type II
2- RE-N1 (only with the carbon lip thingie)
3- aspara drink amemiya kit (on the yellow gt300 FD)
4- Efini bumper that I just found as mentioned in begining of post
5- 93 bumper with 99 spec lip
6- 99 spec bumper with 99 spec lip (no license plate thing)
The only sideskirts that are aceptible are the mazdaspeed type II skirts and the little carbon sliver things made by rotary extreme (type F i think).
The only rear bumper mods should be a good rear diffuser like RE's or the matching one to any of the above listed kits.
The only wings that are acceltable are the factory wings or the factory style wings such as the knightsports wing.
All the other kits or bumpers take away from the stock body lines which abhorrs the natural beauty of these machines.

Actually I think the opposite as the sharp lines don't match the body lines. The curves on the top of the car then don't match the sharp lines of the side skirts or rear bumper. Otherwise I would have a burnout kit on my 7. I still think the RE-Amemyia with undersweap is the best front bumper.

i think the body looks awesome with just the 99 front end. the car doesnt need to be any lower with some good lowering springs. if people would spend as much money on making the 13B more realible as they did on unnecessary body kits maybe the rx7 would have a better reputation.

The black car doesnt look very good. the side skirts mask the slight bulge near the front of the rear-wheel well. That silver kit actually looks pretty decent, dont usually like wide mouthed carp-like fronts, but that one is actually tasteful. The mazdaspeed GTC is good looking with the smoked lenses only, but here is the catch- I have never seen a side skirt that is looks good enough AND is low enough to match the front. And likewise I have never seen a rear bumper that looks good enough and is low enough to match up with the above mentioned side skirts. If just the GTC front is used, the RX7 looks great from the front but at any other angle that includes a look at the sides the front hangs too low and it all looks outta proportion.
I will post some pics of my rex later tonite and ya'll can have a look at what I have done, very minimal stuff-but atleast I will submit my own ride up for the chopping block so that we are not all ripping on the black one.
One more thing- as long as you like the way your FD looks then thats all that matters. Plus we can ALL agree that even the most herrendous bodykit on an FD looks better than 94.56% of any other car found on a street on any given day.

i love the way my car looks, and you guys gotta understand that its no where near completed, the rear fenders still have to be molded, fillements have to be adjusted, the side skirts arent even bolted up in that pic, it needs to be painted and it needs new rims which all of that is happening right now, ill post pics up when im done and ull see that it looks pretty nice.

It reminds me of the early concept for the previous generation Eclipse.
Edit: Ok, maybe not quite, but it's the first thing I thought when I saw it.
