MS bumper, MS intake, wheels, swaybars
This thread is valid regardless of time. If you're reading this from the future, hello from 2010.
Mazdaspeed front bumper - Stormy Blue
SOLD
Comes with a custom-made aluminum licence plate bracket. Very robust.
Paint has expected wear. No cracks or dents. Some scratches underneath. Can't be seen unless under the car.
5Zigen Sport Engine SC3000 wheels - 19x8.5 front, 19x9.5 rear
$1100
One front and one rear wheel both have some curb rash. Fortunately it doesn't show like a painted wheel. It looks more like a line of dimples along the engine of the polished lip. Almost new Kumho SPT 245/35/19 on fronts. Tread is basically full. Rears have same tires, though well used.
Whiteline front & rear swaybars
$120 - Tentatively Sold
These have some surface rust on the ends of the bars. I'm told this is normal. They looked perfect when they went on so I suppose that's the case. Upon close inspection it looks like it's just on the surface. These are solid bars so it definitely doesn't affect their integrity.
Mazdaspeed intake
SOLD
Not much to say about this.

Bumper pics added. Doesn't have fog lights (I think they ruin the look.)
Note, this was repainted by the dealership under the part's warranty pretty much one year exactly after purchase. I guess the boys in Japan screwed up but the paint became hazy. So the bumper has a couple years of wear on the paint.

As of a couple days ago I am officially stock. Feels good.
I still have several months left on the lease. Just didn't feel like doing the work in the cold weather.

I"m surprised that no one's jumped on the bumper yet... those things sell for over 2k at Mazda... and that's IF they can even find one these days..
Are those sways the adjustable or fixed?

Adjustable. They have two holes on each side for a combination of three levels of stiffness.

You should note those scratches are actually underneath the bumper. They're totally invisible when it's on the car unless you jack it up and get underneath it. In terms of the different kinds of wear a bumper can have, that's got to be the best.
Preferably it would be nice if whoever is interested in the bumper is able to come look at it, just to be comfortable. Unless of course you're repainting it a different colour.
