need MS front bumper!

i need help finding a site for a legit ms front bumper that won't be in the thousands! i've found "cheap" bumpers for like 215 and then the urethane for like 446. i need some help, cause i don't want to spend a fortune ordering through mazda or mazdausa.

There is a member named 'Kris,' and his replica looks very nice. You should PM him for more info.

original MS bumper will run u around 1200 + shipping~, this price usually comes pre-painted, but only in regular colors, they dont have any "special edition" colors.

without paint probably cost like 100 less.

1) Wash your car with car soap
2) Dry your car with a microfiber towel
3) Spray the detailer (comes with the clay bar) on an area and then rub the clay on that same area. In another words, since the clay is dry, the detailer is used as a moisturizer. Also, make sure you rub that area until you feel no roughness.
4) Wash your car with car soap again.
5) Wax (optional)

This should take at least three hours by yourself. An hour and a half with two people.

thanks!! so when you spray an area, do you mean, like spray the hood then use the clay on the hood, then the door, etc. do you wipe the quick detailer before using the clay?

Basically, you use the spray whenever you want to "clay-bar" an area. You have to use the detailer first before the clay bar because the clay-bar itself won't rub across the surface easily.
