she's at the shop being torn down now, it doesn't show in the pics but the front lip is pretty trashed, bent and rashed. Insurance didn't include it in the estimate so I'm trying to get them to cover a new one. I'll have new happier pics in a week or two .

When a tire tread took out my oem bumper + lip, it took alot of convincing to get the shop (a mazda dealer repair center in fact), to recognize that the tip was a different piece than the bumper and was OEM.

Hope the repairs go well for you.

aww no Mazdaspeed front bumper??? I liked it better... your car looks clean but your new body kit needs to be repainted to match... Kudos though...

Ditto. For me previously, both a dealership and a third party body shop estimated repairs incorrectly on two separate occasions, not realizing the lip is part of the aero package. Price differences are quite significant, sadly.
