MS black rear bumper installed (pics)
 

Received a Mazdaspeed rear bumper today from Rosenthal Mazda. Shipping to Texas took 9 days. The install time was 2 hours with the help of my roommate. Hardest part was trimming the stock plastic. Here's some pictures (sorry about the dark pictures, ran out of daylight.)
I've received the MS sides but will do those this weekend. Adding a carbon fiber ks-auto lip to the front in about 2 weeks.

*edit*
(stock exhaust trim pieces have already been sold!)

PICTURES DURING THE DAY will soon be posted.

Your larger tipped aftermarket exhaust complements the bumper. It would look goofy with the stock exhaust!!

It's the Borla exhaust. Saw a picture of the MS rear with the stock exhaust and it looked pretty "wimpy".

man the process is painfull to see, but the finished product looks cool. Thanks for posting!

Can't wait to see the carbon fiber lip installed. Post pic's when you do the install please.

your exhaust looks bad ass!

dude that looks sweet as hell man, really bad ass

I'll take some pictures Thursday during the day and post them.

Thanks ALOT for all these pictures... I cant wait until I get mine out of the shop

Just dropped it off this morning with a MS fiberglass kit

Looks great Cant wait to see it in Silver :-D

Sportec Design makes the stock air dam in CF

BTW Omicron... Blitz makes a black (rubber?) lip that can be attached to the bottom of another. Blitz has it on the bottom of the front of the MS kit in Hyper REV. I was thinking that it might be the last thing you need to even up the look since your MS sides are longer than the appearance package air dam... Just a thought.
