I know that wings west makes a replica and it is made out of polyurethane (KS original was FB), but does any else make replicas?

Don't authentic bumpers usually have a stamp on the inside like RE Amemiya ones?

Clearing up a mistake:

The bumper made by wings west is NOT polyurethane, it is fiberglass since the part number is 490094 (begins with a 49):


1993-1997 Mazda Rx-7 Knightsport Front Bumper Cover Fiberglass. Manufactured by Wings West, a pioneer in polyurethane bodykit manufacturing and design. Parts with part numbers that begin with the prefix 89 are made out of durable, flexible polyurethane. While parts with part numbers that begin with the prefix 59 or 49 are made out of multi-layer fiberglass.
1993-1997 Mazda Rx-7 Knightsport Front Bumper Cover Fiberglass Vis Racing Sports Inc.

I have this bumper too but it's no where near as good of condition as yours. Do you have the rest of the body kit on the car or just the bumper?

If you ever want to get rid of the side skirts I'll take em off your hands 😁
Looks great all together

Car looks great. I would love to do a heritage build one day. I don't plan on doing any body mods to my current one, just want to keep it OEM on the outside but I've always wanted a full clean kitted car like this as well.
