mazda speed bumper.

I'm sure this has been asked million times by now, but

Where do i get genuine Mazda speed front bumpers?

And to those who have them, how are the fits? Material(Urathen or fiberglass)?
Does it fit like most after market body panels do(i.e poor), or fits like OEM stuff?

You can get them from Mazda, mazdaparts.com, a few others but I'm having troble remembering. Also, if it's genuine, it will be urethane and fits perfectly...hell, it's OEM.

Mine came with the car (prev owner). It fits far better than any of the replicas I have seen on here.

I recommed you call or email Tiffany Elson at TElson@vtaig.com. She bent over backwards to get me my MS nose by my preset deadline. She (claimed) she got the only VR bumper in the country for me. Everyone else was backordered. I bought mine here <-clicky. less than $1300.

Let her know I sent you.

Unfortunately, I can't agree with the suggestion to go to Showcase. They are one of the "bad guys" here in Phoenix.

That is right, they are in Phoenix. I can only go by my interaction, which was positive. What makes them an issue?

I hope I dont send anyone down a bad path with my recommendation, but I stand by it.

Yup, we now have a bunch of young newbs who want a rotary for 17 grand instead of a Shitivic.....the fun part for me will be to hear them cry about the price of the aftermarket parts for this car. Enjoy your stock 8's, you should have gotten a Shitivic.
