for sale - MS look front bumper and side skirts

Hi all, some of the people who have been awhile will remember me as SEA-RX8 Well a few months ago a lady (with no license or insurance) was nice enough to run a red light and total my car. Well this happened before I was able to put a body kit on the car. Sooo...my loss can now be your gain I did not get a rear bumper yet (as I did not like the MS look one).

So what I have for sale is the MazdaSpeed look polyurethane front bumper and side skirts.

I would like to sell this locally as shipping is a pain (the box they came in would not fit in a ford explorer I am in the south seattle area to give you and idea on meeting up.

So the first $500 takes it. I'm sure you know I paid well over $1000 for this when I got it....so again, my loss is your gain

You can reply to this thread or email me at ng206@hotmail.com

If you were going the ship i have the bos and wrapping from my autobahn front and sides. That mike make it easier to sell in the FS section. I save the stuff because I new a box that size would be very spendy. LMK and we could work something out. I live in puyallup

As with most "kits", not just for the rx8, there will always been some fitting to be done. So any body shop you take them to to have done will have no issues with these. These are very good quality for an aftermarket kit, and are polyurethane, not fiberglass, so this means the first time you scrape the front end...it will not crack and be toast When I got them I did some reasearch and this kit did not have any major fitting issues. ( it was made by areowerks)

We got a little spoiled with the MS kits as they are from the factory and come already painted and ready to bolt on.

If you have any worries go talk with the shop you want it done at and they will give you some advice. Maybe even talk with a few.

So the short answer is ....no..... they will not just "bolt on" as a factory front end would, but again, this is pretty much normal for an aftermarket kit.

Let me know if you have any more questions

Interesting. Maybe I should take off my front bumper drive to meet and test fit on the spot.

You can make it fit, I think you have to drill into bumper to connect it. But just take measurements of stock bumper. You drill for a living so Im sure you can do it!
