Pakfeifer Front Bumper

this thing is taking a hold on me.
i don't know if this is love.
for months i believed that bodykits like the MazdaSpeed was best, but it as well as the Combat and the Drift always disturbed me because it didn't look good at all angles (only head-on). Well the Pakfeifer DOES. Every angle of an mx3 bearing this front bumper, it looks coherent and flows. The other bumper styles all seem to hang over the ground like a long ship-deck, but the Pakfeifer is so basic and full. It has this full look about it, and that's what i need ... Is this originally called the Pakfeifer bumper? I've seen it on American sites under different names. What is it really called? (and does only Pakfeifer sell it in Canada?)

someone had a poll or topic about the Pakfeifer bumper against another bumper, but everyone cap-sized the Pakfeifer for being ugly, but I think it's only because of the picture that was posted in that topic. It was the picture that is on Pakfeifer's website which does the bumper no justice whatsoever. It's more than that picture.

i think i'd have to switch to 18" rims to wear that bumper without having to adjust my lowering springs higher ... lots of the bodykits i've seen, the driver had to jack up his front end to prevent damage to the bumper ... bodykit without a drop isn't a bodykit ... i wonder how much 'higher' 18 inches would give to the car in terms of fender to tire space . if it's a big improvement over 17s ... i dont see too many of u having 18s here ...

My previous set of rims where 17"x7,5J with 205/45 tires. I changed to 18"x7,5 with 215/35's. Raised the car about 15mm.

This is the old pakfeifer bumper. I always thought this one looks a bit fragile.
