Another S2 With Racing Beat Oil Grills
Pretty easy installation, honestly I didn't even remove the front bumper. What i did was remove all of the screws and push screws from the fender and bottom of the bumper. I then loosened some of the bolts at the top of the bumper so i would have some give. This gave me enough leverage to lift up the bumper a little bit without stressing any points. From here i was able to slide my hand from the side, unscrew the plastic screw from the oil cooler, and slide in the grill.

Hahaha, well assuming that some sort of oil/lubrication thing is the cause of most all Rotary engine failures, im sure they tried their best to protect those critical parts. This way if something happens, they can at least say "hey we are doing our best" ... who knows lol

As long as you have that can of hi temp flat paint paimon you might as well hit the muffler with a couple coats. i do it on all my cars first thing. The 8 muffler hangs down sideways and is unsightly, this hides it in 2 minutes. Hit the 12" between the muffler and tips as well. Gives some salt protection too.

Frankly speaking all these grills should have come with the car stock, its retarded for Mazda to not expect rocks come flying towards the cooler when its positioned right behind the tires of the car in front.
