mazdaspeed front bumper

HI i am new to this forum. and i realized everyone is buggin out cuz people keep posting new forums on replicas of ms front bumpers...well i have a similar question....

if i get a replica front bumper of MS in Urethane will it need any fitment adjustments? i aredy have a hookup for painting it its gana cost me $150 which is very cheap...

also i realized that the replicas in urethane do not come with grilles and i cant find any on any site...what can i do about that...

thanks

if your buddy can do paint, I'm assuming he can also do a little bodywork??
I've seen a few replica MS bumpers and the fitment is pretty bad near the side markers and against the hood. If he fills in a few things, I'm sure it'll fit better.

You can probably make your own screens for just a few bucks and a quick trip to Home Depot

If you have any talent at all with your hands you can do the fitment work your self.

You'll have a lot more pride then.

it's already a guarantee that there will be fitment issues. the question is ...to what extent...

Remember that replicas even with paint is easy to spot as not authentic.
