VIS Front Bumper
 
I'm looking at anything that doesn't have a gigantic smiley face and the only one I've found so far is:

http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/VIS...AG_001/764965/

At the bottom it says that it fits the 03 - 11 and I called in to make sure that it actually fit the 09's+ and they said that it was a separate one for that since the 09's+ don't have the sidelight.

What do you guys think about it and have you had any experience with SBC?

That is a Mazdaspeed replica front bumper. You may still end up with the smiley fact that your looking to avoid.

i believe it probably has the BIGGEST smile of all body kits....and i think vertex has the WIDEST smile.....LOL

Well as far as the design goes I like the MS bumper for the S1's. This seems to be the closest thing I can get to it for the S2's.

Doesn't look like a smiley face to me ._. + I'm happy my car doesn't look like a bug (no not a VW bug) anymore.

EDIT: This is an Authentic MS bumper, not a VIS replica. Just thought I'd throw that out there so there wouldn't be any confusion.

Yeah that bumper I think is the best one out there so I'm trying to find the S2 version of that which seems like the one I posted above but I'm not 100% sure.

Unfortunately the MZ doesn't look anything like the old MS so I can't get an authentic one :(

there is no Mazdaspeed bumper for the Series II so what exactly did VIS replicate?
did they just modify the Series I to fit the SII?
I'd ask for pics before buying anything.

scm.kOre 12-08-2010 05:28 PM

Yeah that's what they told me when I first called in. I'm waiting on some pictures to see what it actually looks like or if it's just a replica of the MZ's.

that's a big ass yellow guppy fish.

any luck of the pictures from the vendor yet OP? Im in the market for a lookalike MS1 front as well on my R3

RXeligion 06-27-2011 01:35 PM

Racing Beat had kits for the S1 that didnt look like they were smiling. IMHO, they didnt really look good either.

If you want to use a S1 kit, you could trade fenders with someone rocking an S1. I'm sure someone would do an even trade for your fenders and front bumper (I would be all over it)

... Just a thought

alnielsen 06-27-2011 02:00 PM

There is a bumper designed for the S2. Sorry, I don't remember who makes it. Knightsport maybe?

Jedi54 06-27-2011 03:25 PM

Auto Exe has one for the Series 2 I believe
