Authentic Mazdaspeed bumper

Category: Exterior - Body Parts
Price: $500

Part Fits (you may select multiples): Series I
Location (US State/Canada/Int): KY
Item Condition: Used

Had this bumper for a while, need it gone. $500
Missing the center plastic piece and has a small part broke off under where the plastic piece goes. I got the bumper locally around a year ago but my buddy got me a good deal on a brand new one from the local dealer so this one needs to go.

The center plastic piece is the easiest way to tell if its authentic or not, you got any pics of fitment?

actually looks authentic... the bottom mounting brackets are legit and the font grill is actually cut the right way even though the center plastic piece is missing.

paint isnt correct but thats just paint

That doesn't look like a real MS to me and considering it's coming from the same guy who once sold a "genuine, brand-new, BHR Ignition Systems" on ebay that was his own POS knockoff and not an actual BHR kit, I'd be very cautious in buying this.

Thank you. Its so easy to spot an authentic i mean show me one replica that even has the sidesmarker holes cut as clean as this one or that has the brackets on the bottom for the under engine splash shield, or that is "metton" not fiberglass or super flemsy urethane. I mean im i have an authentic one on my car now and had a fiberglass and a urethane replica I think id know if the bumper was real or not.

LOl. Are you being serious? I sold like 4 replica ignition kits because i had left over coils from when i bought bulk of them so i could make a kit for me and a buddy. They look nothing like the bhr kit. Ive had one Real bhr kit that i bought from another friend to make the kits but after i figured out how it worked i sold it and kept the replicas. Either way thank you for wasteing your time assuming that something im selling isn't what it really is.

Just saying that buyers beware with this guy.
I'm done with this worthless thread.

I failed at what? Making the exact same working D585 coil conversion that bhr sells for $480+ when i payed under $200? Thats a fail to you? I have the first kit i made and have put over 15k miles on it no problems.

Im glad your done with this thread, you come in trying to tell people that you "think" that I am selling a replica bumper when you obviously have no idea? It makes no sense to me why you would even waste your time.

Okay, just went outside and sat the bumper on my car and took pics side by side with the bumper i bought DIRECTLY from the dealer.

The bumper is dirty its been sitting around for more then a year.
I dont have any side markers or i would sit them in there to show how they fit.
There is 2 little broken pieces on the bumper as seen in the pics.
Bumper needs the oil cooler plastic ducts and the center piece.
I can have the bumper painted to any paint code for $80 more.

The edges that stick out on the bottom on each side is gunmetal on the Authentic even if it came primered they still paint those pieces gunmetal.

I DONT SEE IT ON THE OTHER ONE EITHER. AND THE CENTER BLACK PIECE ON THE OTHER ONE LOOKS TOO SMALL. MINE LOOKS DIFFERENT GUYS AND bELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY MINES AUTHENTIC I PAID A SMALL FORTUNE FOR MINE EVEN WITH MY DISCOUNT THROUGH THE DEALER IM AT. THESE ARE BOTH FAKES. LOOK IT UP ON MAZDAS SITE EACH ONE SAYS THEY HAVE GUNMETAL BOTTOMS OR HIGHLIGHTS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

NOT AUTHENTIC, BEWARE
