So...............your trying to make your FD look like a Civic?

All those bumpers look like **** to me. Bunch of ducts & scoups, pointless.

Probably need to add a big *** rear wing & carbon hood to finish "the look"
Oh yea, 19" rims too!

Vertex is definitly the best of the 3, The Re-A one looks stupid, not to mention it doesn't look like much air can get into the engine bay to cool your motor down. I don't know what kind of mods you have but if you are heavily modded, look into getting a bumper that has a wider opening for air to get to your intake, radiator, oil coolers. Thats just my opinion.....

Least of the evils is the Vertex. I wouldn't mind the Vertex as much if it didn't have those stupid raised portions on the outside of the bumper (canards?).

Since I joined the forum, I've never seen anyone who owns an FD that had the Bomex kit on it.

the rear wing is going to be the racingbeat type 2. Little bigger than stock. and thats it!

FYI since you think those look ricey then give me a good bumper then?

$599 for a 4 piece kit huh? Anyone want to wager what that's going to fit like? I guess it couldn't be any worse fitting than the knockoffs that a certain person on here and the especially the NP forums sells.

LOL. Yeah and then they'll attach the body kit with self tapping screws in the body that will strip out and rust OR they'll "mold it in" and the bondo will crack off in 1-2 yrs.

Go stock or 99, those will last longer, fit better and look better in the long run than anything else.

I've always been a fan of the Peter Farrell front bumper. It seems it was made (originally?) by Knightsport and also copied by Erebuni.

http://www.erebuni.net/ge/mazrx793.htm , they call it the "MAZDA RX7 Shogun Style v14.0 #029"

stock or 99 here too...

but if you really want a front bumper from those choices,
i would go with the Vertex without the canards.

The new Vertex 7 peice wide body isnt that bad.

PFS looks best & it gest a lot of air into the engine compartment. Ray Wilson at PFS is selling them again.

Then the 99 spec.

If you must have one of the three you mentioned, I suppose the Vertex.

Vertex of those 3. Personally I like the '99 specs.
