I have a Mazda A'Spec front bumper (the le mans looking one...type 1?). The turn signal lenses are both pretty badly warped. It looks like the lights were left on and the heat completely deformed them before I bought the bumper. Anyway, does anyone know what lens I can get to use as a replacement? Any ideas?

Here's what I'm talking about. I'll take a close up pic of the lens on my car when I get home.

 

Bryan at RX7 Boutique. Failing that, rhdjapan.com would be my two choices. Bryan will be less expensive if he can source it though.

 

I can ask them, but after contacting Mazda/Mazdaspeed Japan, I was told they no longer sell them (nor do they sell the covers). The lenses themselves have no useful markings to buy directly from the manufacturer. I was thinking of looking into motorcycle turn signals or something of that sort. I was just hoping someone had been in the same situation and had either retrofitted something else or found a decent replacement.

 

I've got that bumper as well, they are simply thermoformed plastic "shrouds" that stick on with double sided foam tape. Mine are a little warped too... they're thin and they just do that. IDK if you can heat them gently and unwarp them. Other than that you'll have to make new shrouds. Also the lens (clear) is no longer available. If there were enough people interested we could make both parts (maybe even with an upgraded HID fog light, and LED signal).... but I can guarantee with 99% confidence that there are 3 people total that would want replacement parts for this bumper, one of which is myself haha .

The shroud part was just fine. I made some out of carbon fiber anyway though just for a fun 'dress-up'. The problem is this bulb/housing. The orange part melted and sagged on one side, while cracking on the other.



Any ideas for an alternative?

 

Pretty sure you could get motorcycle turn signals or small universal truck/auto lamps.

 

haha count me in for the 2nd one

 

I need a replacement lens for this kit

 

good luck finding a set, Mazdaspeed stopped making parts for fd's about 5 years ago, so unless you happen to find a shop that has a set on the shelf collectin dust the.... plan on getting a set custom made $$$

 

If I remember correctly, there are about four sets in the country, lol.

Personally I'm looking into doing a 1-off update to the kit using AL stock and LED's.

But that's just me (and I hope it stays that way! lol)...

Mine did the same during an ill-fated dyno session... I ruined BOTH orange covers AND got a tune so shitty it killed a brand new motor in months...

Having them custom made would be ridiculously expensive. However, so long as there isn't a catastrophic failure of the covers any decent body shop should be able to repair them.
