This is a really dumb question, does anybody know if this the painted or non-painted version of the mazdaspeed bumper? I'm guessing it's non-painted, however on the outer ends, it looks like part of the bumper is painted. Can someone clarify for me please?

Btw, I'm e-mailed Trussville and Rosenthal Mazda, as well as kgunny (who's picture I'm using) and haven't received any responses within the week.

thats painted

the ms spoiler comes painted.

that pic is painted sunlight silver.

actually, you can order it from trussville mazda (dunno about rosenthal) unpainted...

basically, i'm paying 200 dollars more to have the outside ends painted? the rest seems to be the plastic that the stock rear bumper is made out of.

yes, 200 dollars for the two outside ends painted.

Rosenthal also has the unpainted version.
The rest in the gunmetal color is not the same plastic the stock bumper is made of, it's smoother and doesn't always look dirty like the stock did.
Here's mine in black and I bought the painted version. link (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25062&perpage=15&pagenumber=2)

thanks, i bought the body kit from Rosenthal Mazda...Trussville Mazda doubled the cost of the side skirts already. $1400+ for side skirts...that's just nuts.

HOLY COW!!
I thought it was just of rumor. Back in January they were about $690, then I heard of a price increase to $730. Glad I got mine already.
$1400 is insane.

even if Rosenthal Mazda does not honor their advertised price (saying, "oh we meant to change it"), i'd just buy the sideskirts from rotaryextreme. not saying that Rosenthal would do that, just a "what if"
