MazdaSpeed Rear Diffuser

Does anyone know if you can still find JUST the Mazdaspeed Rear Diffuser (genuine or not) anymore without waiting for one to pop up forsale used? If so where?

All I can find are full bumpers molded to look like they have the Diffuser, and occasionally old websites that say they have it, but have been out of them for X years.

NOTE: I am looking for a Solid Replica of the MazdaSpeed version, not just Any RX-8 Diffuser







Thanks!

the original MS diffusers are no longer in production but there might be some aftermarket companies making replicas.
make sure you do your research as some of them have VERY poor fitment. Not all but some.

That wasn't what I was asking at all......lol, but thanks for taking the time to respond. If they still made genuine Mazdaspeed Diffusers, why would o be asking where to find a replica?

Maybe the way I write is confusing?

Well I finally tracked down a diffuser, and received, then installed it today.

Quality and finish was pretty poor, thought I half expected it. Most of the edges were inconsistent with thickness, wavey, or just not even... The fitment itself was not bad though. The mounting points were also a tad too thin which caused them to be brittle...

However it does look excellent, and I have a friend who does Carbonfiber that is going shape it up, then use it to make a mold and make a new one out of carbon - So I look forward to that.

Did you find an authentic one? That sounds nothing like a mazdaspeed diffuser.

Can still find authentic Mazdaspeed rear diffuser in Yahoo Japan easily. Just need to pay shipping.

I have one for sale but I'd need either the stock OEM bumper to swap or the plastic bottom part of the bumper if it comes off.

It's a Duraflex knockoff but these folks look to still have them:
