autoexe front
 

Just got my autoexe front bumper, it took 4 weeks for the bumper to get here and installed, but I guess it was worth the wait!! :D
Saving up for some sideskirts next!!

Nice

Love it!

looks great!

out of interest, where did u purchase it from?

direct from autoexe?

Very nice.

Best bumper ever

I purchased it from Japanparts, the shipping price was brutal!

CorkSport is one of the US official distributors as well. MazMart is the other but Paul rarely likes to ship large items due to the high cost.

What do you guys think, with or without the emblem?

With emblem

The Autoexe bumper always looks good whether on the SI or SII, but is the paint slightly darker?

It kinda does look like the paint is slightly darker!! NOO!!!!

Without the emblem..

Looks great. Leave the emblem off.

I bought a first gen Miata "Mazda sticker and put it on mine as I debated the same question, emblem or no, I think it came out really well and is still subtle,,,

that loooks nice!! wow! do you have any pictures of it with the hood down? I might copy you :D

It looks too simple without anything on the front.

great looking bumper, one of my favorites but in the 1st picture it does look like the paint is slightly off.

any pics of it in direct sunlight where there aren't any shadows on the car?

Thanks for the mention Rotr8.

We are currently the sole US Distributor and I can get and ship anything. The same shipping price that the op paid is what I would charge but that is high enough to scare away most people. I can save people on the part price beyond anyone else in that I do low profit to satisfy my RX8club people.

If anyone is interested, first go to the AutoExe site: AutoExe:English, then look up the part number and price of what you need. Convert the Yen to Dollars so you know what you are dealing with. For items as big as a bumper, shipping could be close to $1000 but it comes by air so you have it quickly. Maybe someone wanting skirts as well can let me know so I can attempt to send them in the same package and save on the shipping.

Reminder: I will shave the part price at my loss and your gain. I hate what the strong Yen is doing but I would love to provide you guys more AutoExe goods.

Paul.

thanks Paul, thats what I meant to say. Not that you were unwilling to ship but most are unwilling to pay for that amount of shipping cost, sorry for being unclear about that.

Lazyman, let me get back to you later tonight when Im at home. There is a seller on the Miata forum that sells the Mazda logo in any color and has most in stock. I have it book marked on my home PC.

Lazyman- here is the seller of the stickers I was mentioning.
I bought an original OEM NA Miata sticker but this guy makes replicas. My friend ordered one for his FC and we found it was just a bit larger than the OEM, but barely, in your case shouldn't matter since there is nothing there to begin with, any color you want. Silver or Bronze would look great with the Red, and looks like they have a dark red which would be total stealth mode, Bumper Sticker – Style: OEM Outline | Shop for vintage Mazda Eunos Miata Roadster rocker stripes, center cap badges, keychains and more.

Don't have a pic saved with the hood down, this was taken down at DGRR, it looks good with the hood down too trust me,,,

Rotr8,

I love the sticker idea,

i was planning to do a full debadge on car, (plan to remove spoiler so car will be in body shop)

but wanted to keep the old skool mazda badges, and you have solved my problem

THANK YOU

Your car looks hellasiiiiiiiccccccckkkkkkk

That looks really good Rotr8! I think imma go with the matte black one :D

thanks, I like the look alot, like slidin8 said its a throw back to some of the older generations. That was my motivation in doing it, to tie it into the rotary family tree more since the 8 is considered by most all other rotary owners to be somewhat the red headed step child of the family. People at DGRR picked up on the exact point, and like how subtle of a detail like that really stood out and tied it into the other RX-x's there.
