Mazdaspeed a-spec lights/covers?
Just seeing if anyone knows if it's possible to find the light covers. Mine are kind of warped and a few cracks, anyone make them aftermarket?

The rarity of the A-Spec bumper (I only know of four, maybe five, in the US not including mine) is both a boon (because rare and unique) and a disability (because rare and no replacement parts). If you're able to find a source for reasonably priced light covers please post it up!! I'd love to know so I can pick up a spare set. |
Someone has made a replica of the cover awhile back. He used a plexiglass from a hardware store and used some heat to bend it.
|
Maybe I'll have to try the make my own root then. I thought the bumper was a replica just because the way the covers fit and how rare they are now, it says mazdaspeed so for what I paid for the car I'm pretty happy
|
Yeah, from what I can tell their haven't been replica A-Specs made. Mainly because the complexity of the bumper and their general lack of popularity in the cars heyday.
So good news is that if you see one, chances are its real :) |
Friend if mine is making the full A-spec FD from initial D..
He has 3 A-spec front bumpers, two genuine, one is a replica... Im excited to see it when done.... J. |
I have 2 bumpers and both have lenses with issues. First is cracked and warped while the second is only warped.
I'll join you if you find a source for the lenses. I'd love to have some spares. |
Bump has any one found some one to make these
|
Your best bet is to find a local plastic molding company and ask if they do small custom work.
|
It's not that easy, you need to make a mould first because of the unique shape of the headlight cover, at $1000 per side it's a very costly exercise

I just purchased a set of brand new lenses from yahoo Japan, 1200 aud ouch
|
|
Took me a while to find but this is a guide on making your own.

Yep they are the ones
I get that they're discontinued and super rare , especially brand new , but damn....just damn... lol Are you going to use them? Or just keep them as is? |
At that price they better be out of tempered glass or something
|
Mate it was either make moulds, which were 1000aud each side then get a guy to shape the Perspex which may have been another 1000 for x amount made, I will be putting them on but I will try and place some small holes and computer fans behind the lights to prevent the lenses warping
|
Swap to led's so they run cooler.

What's wrong with your current lenses ? Did they lose their shape/form? Or just old ? Cracked? |
old, cracked and warped, I'm going full aspec kit, ms02 wheels, wing, side skirts, front bar
