There is someone locally selling one that he claims is genuine; however, it doesn't have the holes pre-drilled. It is primed and unpainted. I think I read on the forums that they are being sold unpainted; however, I always assumed that they were ready to bolt on.

Am I being scammed?

The "Mazda" one is pre-painted out of the box.

You can get them unpainted but all of them have the gunmetal accents at the bottom painted and masked off atleast. I think you have a scam on your hands my friend.

if it's not painted, it's not an authentic MS front end

Thanks. I thought it was BS. I did remember seeing here that the MS kit does come unpainted; however, the lack of predrilled holes seemed fishy to me. Thanks for verifying.

yea be very careful on that

yes, the lack of holes is the give away on this one. You can buy the authentic kit primered...and you have to if you want it in yellow (as this part is no longer available), or in white (as it is more expensive to get this part). The bumper comes completely ready for install. A direct replacement without any question.
