Just got my front bumper back from the body shop and installed. I'll be installing my fog lights soon. Questions/comments always welcome and appreciated.
Anyways, enjoy.
Thanks

Not all Mazda dealerships can order these bumpers. They have to be "Mazdaspeed Dealers". You can order from anyone you want, but I would strongly recommend buying it from someone in your area so you can personally pick the bumper up instead of having it shipped. They don't come painted anymore either, just primered. Let me know if you're going to purchase one and I'll pm you the paint codes you need.

They should. You just need to call around to find a Mazdaspeed dealer. 32C is the paint code for Phantom Blue.

No they aren't discontinued. The fog light brackets are discontinued. The only thing that has changed with the front bumper is that they don't come pre-painted any longer, they only come primered. The side skirts, however, do come pre-painted.

EDIT: And hey sorry, thanks for saying it looks great
I got the front and sides. I'm not too fond of the rear, especially with a stock exhaust. I'm wanting to go with a quad tip exhaust system in the future anyway, and it wouldn't fit with the Mazdaspeed rear.

Thank you very much. And I know, I hardly see any white rx8's around my area. Someone drives one down the street from my house, but they don't know anything about the car I believe.
