post pics and ill tell you if that looks like my bumper or not

 

ok give me a few minutes

 

I looked at the pics and I am 100% sure you have the Authentic bumper. Also from the pics you posted, the bottom lip is the correct color that it is supposed to be. a Gun metal grey color...

 

i dont see pics from him?

 

^Look at his second post...theres a link to the for sale thread...

here are some pictures

 

^Yeah, the bottom lip is definitally not the same color as your car... But it was definitally not taken care of very well.

 

Sorry about the pic size.

 

"MS" Wing Pictures. I took off the wing, this is just the base and brackets.

 

the front does'nt appear to be shipped in good order.

 

Oh no. The shipping was superb. He shipped it UPS Freight and I have never seen something shipped with more care. It cost him nearly 500 to ship it when our previous arrangement was for him to use Greyhound, which would be no more than 150. He did a wonderful job shipping it and went above and beyond.

I am only concerned with the Authenticity of these parts due to their high value and vast number of replicas. I do severely doubt the authenticity of the rear wing base however.

 

 

close tolerance fittment is what its all about...if it fits within close tolerence, it can be authentic, some reps are also within those tolerances....you will have to see...looks to be shipped well. my bad....

 

Thanks for the save cjkim!!!

 

Man look at all those packing peanuts!!! That must have been a bitch to clean it all up!!

 

Nah. Only took about an hour or three

It literally ended up covering my living room, study, kitchen (and parts of the ceiling) I'll keep finding peanuts in this place until I move out

 

Thats nothing, Swoope sent me a RP midpipe the box holding it must have had a years worth of shredded mail in it 2 months later Im still finding pieces around my house...

 

^Ha well that is no good for you! But at least will all those peanuts you can make a sh*t ton of Napalm!! Haha and don't ask me how I know that.

nah, thats just swoopes old outdated playboy mags.

 

how is the ms wing attached? double sided tape?
maybe it was distorted when trying to remove it

 

I'll take a picture of the underside of the wing later today. It is uneven and has varying thickness in portions. I tried double sided tape, but the wing is too stiff for it to hold down. If I do decide to put it on my car, I'll use silicon. I'd rather use my knockoff MS carbon fiber base that I got from Saki instead. It fits better.

Keep in mind it's unpainted, leading me to the conclusion that it's not the real base.

 

As promised. Let me know if you think this base is real. It should be Ti Grey, just like the wing.

 

poke it with a stick.

 

It's dead. I just compared it to Saki's CF wing and his actually has a very good fit. I'll be sporting the CF base and Ti grey wing.

I still would like to know if it's fake. If it is, I'll take it to Mazda this weekend for them to write a formal letter identifying it as fake, then it's off to Paypal.
