Looks really good. Seems like a perfect fit. The lower lip is a bit further back then I thought it would be, but it still looks great. Good job! (drinks)

Should of had it 2-tone like the website. That would match with the rear bumper.

same thought crossed my mind, but i am repainting the whole car by the end of the summer so it will be be pointless to have done all the tape work for no reason

i am doing a two tone paint with silver on bottom and winning blue on top with the break point being the fender line. havent decided what to break it with, maybe something like razor wire or aircraft bolts. my buddy the fabricator is also working on a widebody for his three, if it is nice, he will make one for me too

That looks nice curacer1. How much did it cost you? I want the grill.

Hey there, looks great! Question... is the bumper urethane? From the looks of it, I would geuess it is, it definatly doesnt look like fiberglass, but I just want to confirm on this. Thanks!

zoom- $1500 after everything, yes i know, i got raped
3ndp- fiberglass, very rigid fiberglass!!!!!


::: update:::
today me and a fabricator who i grew up with have bought two fenders and another mazdaspeed front nose. with these three pieces we will start the prototype for the mazdaspeed widebody front end. my car will be the test subject for this kit after the molds are made, if it looks good, i will start selling them in july, they will be fiberglass for now. if it sucks, i have a set of versus fender flares that will be molded on. all i know, is my 3 is too skinny and needs to get fat. let you know on the progress

F*CK! I didnt realize that bumper was fiberglass... I thought just the grille was. Well, I guess ill just have to see how I like it.... I'm really bummed about the fiberglass... I ordered mine the other day and im going to get it installed this week... I guess im going to have to be a very careful driver now... thats just another headache... well thanks for the info... I'll post pics when I get the car back.

here is a huge tip when it comes to install. the instructions really don't show it well but there is a bolt that is on the front part of your fender that screws in from the bumper, when you install the mzspeed bumper, make sure you put this bolt back in tight or you could crack the corner of the bumper
tip #2 this mzspeed bumper looks like ass unless the front is lowered at least an inch, mine is 1.75 lowered in the front and it could use another .25 inches

Hey guys! Just wanted to share the pics of my ride, since I got it back....

Enjoy. I have to say they did an amazing job! No drips No nothin! They followed my instructions exactly how I told them to paint it. I am VERY pleased with the finished product. The Wheel gap is not nearly as bad as I was anticipating. It flows well with the factory skirts and the bumper doesnt have much traffic going on so its not very standoffish.


Next, in the near future (month or 2) I am going to get the side and rear skirt to complete the kit.

The downside to this bumper is it is FIBERGLASS... Well Enjoy the pics guys, and the 2-tone great, jsut like the jap mazdaspeed 3

P.S I hate fiberglass...
