Urethane M1 Speed

A piece of wood fell from a truck on the highway... I hit that piece of wood and now I need a new bumper.

I've searched and can't find anything about installing the ED M1 Speed Urethane Front Bumper.
http://www.sportcompactonly.com/Mazd...53_vy-2005.htm

Has anyone had experience installing this bumper? Does the splash shield and everything fit correctly?

Since this is urethane and not fiberglass, should fitment be better? Something I would be able to do by myself?

Thank you for any help,

lots of bad reviews from ED on this board. If you want perfect fitment, i say buy authentic. The Mazdaspeed kit IS perfect OEM fitment. There are several vendors that sell them on this forum. Check them out some time.

if you don't mind 8/10 fitment. check out Shine Autoproject

Sorry for the blurry pics, but here's some pics after my body shop installed it.

It's a decent body shop, and they do great work, and he charged just $180 to paint AND install, so the fitting job must have been pretty good:







It may be hit and miss most of the time, but if you can find a body shop that just does pretty decent work I think you will be okay!
