I recently had a small accedent in the 8 and now have an insurance check for repairs I want a Mazdaspeed kit but cant find nor afford a real one so..... I wanted to know from those of you who have replicas you makes them, and how they fit? I need to know which one to order. I want a urethane one I know that much. Thanks in advance. Oh yeah I did search and couldnt find good solid info other than that all replicas are crap and to buy a real one LOL.

If you've got a better suggestion I'll gladly hear it. Can't find or afford a real Mazdaspeed kit ( I don't think they make them any more ) and my front bumper is broken.

They still make them, save up and buy the real thing, You will regret a replica, it's a downgrade from stock in 99.9% of all the ones I've seen.
edit: even if they are discontinued they're still available, I ran across the other day looking for something else without even trying to find one.

This is one place I saw it at, another would probably be Japanparts.com, they have all kinds of wicked jdm exterior stuff, problem is though it might be hard getting anything from them considering the circumstances recently.

You might also try a local dealership? I know a few of the parts guys here in town, haven't thought to ask them about the bumpers, had no idea they were either going to stop making them or they're not available etc. Either way, just telling from experience, almost all the knockoffs I've seen are absolutely 100% garbage, and even the ones that pseudo fit are going to take a ton of extra work to make look right, just not worth the time and expense in my opinion to jump through hoops only to brag about having a fake bumper on your car.
You might look into other styles too, the Autoexe is nice, the Kenstyle and Panspeed is pretty nice, if you want something more subtle than the racing beat might be an idea too.

I will call around but 1500.00 for a front bumper is kinda crazy that's almost enough to buy a set of coilovers. I was hoping to hear from some people who have the urethane replica just to get the opinion of someone who actually has one

I'm getting a mazdaspeed front bumper delivered monday, I could only find it in primer. It was 1225 + 135 shipping NC to IL. My local mazda/mazdaspeed dealer couldnt not get it and many other websites that still listed the components said they were no longer available when I requested a quote...
mazdaspeedstore.com had urethane replica components but onlinemazdaparts is where I found the components from mazda in primer. It only took like a week to ship once I placed my order. They didn't have the fog brackets and I didnt ask them about the sides or rear. I may try the racing beat fog light brackets for $35 and see if they work with it
