if youre looking at making money, you probably wont make a whole lot. as i told you in a pm i dont think itd be possible to make a FB mold of polyurethane due to it bending. plus one of the main reasons people want this bumper so much is because its flexible and wont break as easy as FB. just my .02

You actually can't buy them new anymore. My friend just got the last new one in the world from mazda. And they didn't even have the side pieces. We took them off my car so he could make a mold.

Is this air dam fiberlass or poly? If it's glass, post pics of what's left of it. It may be possible to rebuild it.

If i remember correctly from the only real one i have seen in person (BTW the one i have the car for sale is not a real one it is slightly different) they were poly and had some flex in them. Very sweet and I too have not been able to get my hands on a real one.

theyre poly and they have a good amount of flex to them. i have a brand new in still in the box but i cant decide if i should use it or not. ill probably hold off on using it for a while. id like to get as a mold made, but i highly doubt itll happen. id like to find a used one to install on the GSL, but these things usually get scooped up by racers.

they are hard to find, but they also arent being sold for a whole lot when you do find them. i bought mine brand new for a little over $300, i think. i think used they usually go for more around $200.
