What are good bumper options?
I don't want to spend hours looking for the unicorn genuine used Mazdaspeed bumpers. You're all saying the USA "knock offs" are crap. JDM ones take a year to get. and I don't like the stock ones.
are we all SOL? are there well fitting knock-off bumpers I can order today preferably something that looks like Mazdaspeed?

Much Crazy. Such Wow!
If you're ok with spending a few extra Washingtons, you can always get a knockoff bumper fitted properly to your car. Assuming that the bumper isn't just straight garbage, it should work just fine and only needing a little massaging to get it to fit properly. Just stay away from Duraflex. Duraflex is the devil..

Pay now or pay later, almost all knock offs are crap. Shine is a popular knock off but the fitment I have seen as shipped in person is less than good. Vertex Lang, Racing beat, and Tsunami are the only ones readily available in the states that are not crap that I can think of. But the Tsunami is heavy. Even my buddies mazdatrix needed quite a bit of work to get fitment right but it is FG so it was easier, that is not the case with plastic bumpers.

I too am looking for a Mazdaspeed replica, so any help here would be appreciated.
I have located:
Duraflex (fiberglass)
Extreme Dimensions (urethane)
VSaero (urethane)

does anyone have good experience with RHDjapan? They seem to sell JDM bumpers at approx $700-800 piece with another $600-700 in shipping for each bumper. That would add upto about $3000 just for front and rear bumpers. little ridiculous, but at least that's an option.
