Detailed MS body kit pictures?

So I ordered a carbon fiber MS replica front bumper and its going to take a couple months to get/make. What I'm wondering is if anyone had really detailed pictures of what the inside of the bumper and side skirts look like so I can try to get the mounting hardware right. It'd be great if someone had measurements for the brackets that attach to the undertray. Thanks in advance.

you bought a replica, those are a dime a dozen and made by many different manufacturers. Unless we know the brand or vendor that sold it to you, it will be hard to get you that information.

Where did you order from?
do they not have pictures to send you?

Yea I ordered it from chaser aerodynamics but what I'm asking for is pictures of the mounting hardware off an authentic MazdaSpeed kit.
I'm fully aware the bumper I bought probably doesn't have mounting points/hardware but I would like to see where they're supposed to be.

The bumpers mount via long plastic female tabs attached to the underside of the fender. (where it meets your bumper) and interconnects to a series of male tabs molded into the bumper. There are also a series of screws affixing the top to the radiator core support, plus a series of fasteners that affix the bottom to your under tray. In short - you already have the hardware.

I dont have pictures of the back of mine saved but next time I remove the bumper I will get some. The issue with mounting is the bottom, everything else mounts as the stock bumper. Basically its a series of metal brackets shaped like _/ with an extra line on the top side parallel to the bottom. One of those brackets for each hole on the stock undertray and thats about it. Each bracket is riveted to the bumper and uses stock hardware on the undertray.

Hope this helps.

Yea that really does! Thanks man. If you happen to remember to take some pictures of them that'd be great! If not, that cool. I'll try to find some pics in the mean time.
