I'm going to have to replace my whole rear bumper after getting rear-ended, and I'm trying to see if my body repair shop (Service King) can just put on a MazdaSpeed rear instead. I'm wondering what's the best price I can find for the rear. It'll be done through insurance.

 

heres the best ive found

you know your going to have to buy a stock rear and mazdaspeed rear underspoiler still?

 

Seperately? You mean they both don't come together?

 

no, the MS rear is just a skirt that you attach to the OE bumper....

 

$700 just for a skirt? Rippppppppoffffffffffffffff

K...that changes everything. My underlip is damaged so they're going to have to replace that, but they said the whole rear bumper is going to have to be replaced because it's all one part in their database.

Oh well, I tried. I guess I'll stay stock.

And I don't understand that, it says it comes painted?

 

if only the plastic part is damaged you can still get the ms underspoiler. to install the ms rear you have to cut off the stock plastic part anyway.

 

painted as in the side portions.

 

But $200+ for the painted sides??? Wtf.

The plastic part is damaged, but according to my body repair shop (who often do repairs for the Mazda dealership nearby) it's all one part. Also, they'd have to repair and repaint the bumper, so the costs would go up double (they're estimating $600ish)

 

damn...

 

that's why a lot of people forego the MS rear skirt when they get the MS kit; the OE rear side skirt piece actually look pretty good w/ the MS side skirt, so you may want to go that route to save $$

 

Maybe. If I do eventually get a body kit, I'd look into the autobahn front bumper though. That thing is sweet.

Anyway, thanks for the help guys

 

Maybe you should look over the instructions before you make a determination if you can or can not use the Mazdaspeed Under Deflector. If only the lower portion of your rear fascia needs to be repaired, then Mazdaspeed part may cover the damage.
