I have an 88 TII with a stock bumper that has the MAZDA sticker on the front. I would like to get the bumper that has the MAZDA letters indented (bent out) but I have no idea what year RX7s those came on and no idea if I could swap out the two easily or not. Where could I even get one other than a junkyard? IS there anything else I would need to know about it all?

Thanks

 

That's the Series 5 (89-91) nosecose. It's a direct swap.

 

My RX7 has the MAZDA molded into the bumper, it's a 1990 so I would guess that all S5's (1989-1991) have them. I think it would fit but i'm not sure.

 

My 89 GXL doesnt have it indented. At least i dont think it does...

 

all 89-91 RX-7s came with the raised lettering, however aftermarket S5 bumpers will not have the raised lettering. Only the stock bumper skins will.

 

thats strange I have an s4 with raised letters??? Maybe I just don't have the lip..........no its the s4, strange I'll take a pic as soon as I find my digi cam

 

As usual, Icemark is right n target here. I've got an aftermarket S5 nose. I'm not sure who makes it but it's from a generic crash book available at any body shop. Often times they get cheaper aftermarket body parts and either charge YOU for factory original parts or the insurance companies. An S5 nose from mazda is over $500.00 while the crash book piece is like $180.00. The only place I know to get an S5 aftermarket front bumper is victoria british, $199.00. The downside to the aftermarket piece is that they usually don't fit as well as OEM.

Most people either miss the fact that I don't have the embossed mazda logo on my bumper OR they thought I removed it
