For Trade: Autobahn Front and Sides for MS Front and Sides

I'm looking to trade my Shine Replicas of the Auto_bahn front and sides for the Mazdaspeed Front and Sides in Galaxy Gray. There is a small hole that is not visible on the front bumper of the Autobahn. I will take pictures tomorrow during daylight.

I will only do a Local Swap. I'm located in Garden Grove, Ca.

How much would it cost to get that front off of you?

I don't have a spare bumper to use if I were to sell it.

Thanks for the bump, it's hard to find a Galaxy Gray MS Front.
I went to the stealership and they said that the MS kit don't come in Galaxy Gray... I also contacted MazdaTrix and they don't carry that either.

^ Thanks.

It's a bit too pricey for me hence the reason why I'm doing a trade.

One thing that could help your cause is some non-photoshopped pictures.

Those are HDR, they're not photoshop. It's all by camera.


Here are some non-hdr ones

Much better way to gauge than the HDR pics.

I believe Photoshop could do the same with filters that is why I assumed it was PSed.

Did the shop you had install reinforce the bumper and sides?

I didn't want to put nails through the side of my body so I only screwed it on the ends into the fender liner. The sides held up by 3M Automotive Tape (The red one).

As for the front, it's not reinforced and the 5mph impact brace/bar was removed. (Japanese RX-8's don't have the impact brace/bar for both front and rear.)

One last bump! If no one wants its, then I'm going to keep it (and maybe just trash/sell in the very near future).

:/ not if the sides are held up with 3M tape and the reinforcement bar is gone... you should be able to use the rebar, though, just have to remove everything attached to it.

Renesis - just buy the MS front and sides unpainted from here:

http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...subcat2=121485

Then have someone paint match it GG. THEN sell ur front/sides Autoexe.
