The general attitude on here seems to be that JDM FD's are the "cheap" ones, get them while you can, because they are getting to be more expensive over here than anywhere internationally.
They are getting pissed about the fact that all of their sports cars have been exported. You have to search long and hard to find something decent people here people are willing to sell anymore.

I know we havent always seen eye to eye on things but I agree with you whole heartedly.
Are these OEM 99-Spec vent mesh inserts??? Haven't seen them before...
Looks like it's not just "mesh" behind the bumper, it has a thin lip edge that contours perfectly with the vent opening outer shape...
Is it me, or does that not even look like mesh? But rather an insert (blocker) with mesh painted on?

Sorry to get off topic.

Kinda bummed out to hear that. I really cherish the the car, the history, and all the artifacts of it's story...
Had to settle and get some clear rear reflectors which have been previously modded for bulbs, instead of those nutty true clear rears. Will see how bright they end up. Or, maybe I can crack them open and "defrost" them with acetone? Got some true clear stanleys for the front markers. You can see the difference a bit. Seems like original clears are pretty uncommon at this point. I do like the colored markers after all these years. But, though it'd be fun to try these with some LEDs. Will send them to the FS section, if I don't love 'em.
Got some cool old brochures on the way, too. Will post them up when they arrive.
I've seen that diffuser, many modern cars have something similar. Seems like a lowered car would be constantly scraping it, though. Dale
I think quite often its also used as a first line of defense against scraping more important parts down low... I'd like to measure it to see how far down it hangs by comparison with the 99-spec OEM lip, as well as aftermarket front lips... I'd definitely rather scrape that plastic and then stop and air up my aircups, than to scrape off some pristine front lip paint. Ah hah, here it is on RHDJapan, about to order..
Hello mate.
I was wondering if you had any of your Mazdaspeed parts still?
i know this is an old thread, but thought I’d give it a shot. Thanks in advance!
Happy New Year!

Early Model OEM option rear cargo carpet cover
Late Model OEM option rear cargo carpet cover (Not sure the year it switched)
2002 Bathurst R checkered floor mats
Red OEM option floor mats
The seller states they were installed on cars that were sold as complete Mazdaspeed vehicles from dealers in Japan.
Totally cool if you ask me.
C-Spec chassis plates for C-Spec cars were fitted on the firewall, maybe the badge above too but the badge in the picture was fitted to the rear of every car fitted with a good amount or all the MS gear from what i have seen. Maybe they had full A-Spec cars u could buy. Which would of been cool as very possible. There is another style of badge that is thinner, came in a few different colors (red, black, blue, and maybe more) that says "tuned by mazdaspeed sports factory tokyo japan" that was fitted to the rear, dash, sides, and i have seen it on parts too (still rare but more common to find the thin plate than the thick plate). There was no SOP but the thick one i have only seen on the rear of A-Spec catalog cars.
Hi Circuit Theory. This is a long shot considering the date of this thread but any chance you have resources to get a pair of Mazdaspeed seats (a-specs)? I’m in Los Angeles.
Alright. Which one of you is responsible for this?
I plead the 5th... Just kidding, i was heavily thinking about getting it but decided not to at the moment. Wanted to put it on the black FD but timing is not right for me to spend on a gauge cluster.
On another note.... Mazdaspeed CF Intake Box is on. Mazdaspeed SMIC will go on after some fin repairs and possibly some powdercoating. Not sure if i want to keep the metal look or powdercoat it black to make it more low key.
