Hey everyone!

I've been a lurker for a very long time which I've now dubbed as the Pre-8 era. I finally got a 2004 GT with a buttload of body KM (however still surprisingly lovely.) It's engine however has 10,xxx KM and was swapped by Mazda (6-port .) I love the car to bits! It is, however, all OEM; and while this may appeal to some I like to change things to better suit my tastes. In my local craigslist there's a guy selling a (genuine? will confirm) Mazdaspeed rear bumper for $100 CAD. From what I've read, these are sought after and hard to come by because the production was ceased a while ago. I really like how it looks, is this a good deal for just the rear? Help a noob out!

(EDIT: What is also a decent/fair price for a lightly used Axial Flow short shifter?)

 

Congrats and Welcome to the forum

if its authentic MS then its a steal at $100.
AFS shifter is also a hot item, new is for $295 US so used $150 - 180 i guess..

 

Thanks for the response! How exactly does one tell if it's authentic? Material, markings, etc?

AFS shifter is grossly overpriced for used then. Thank you

 

Lol i could be wrong on the shifter's price tho.. U gota keep in mind though, parts for your 8 are hard to find and then for everything you have to pay shipping and duties and conversion..
For Eg: my bhr midpipe was for US 450 by the time it got to me it cost me $700 CAD after 6 months of use I sold it for CAD 500..So any saving is good i guess
