So in short .. my bumper is need of a rebuild. I'm currently running the mazdaspeed GTC bumper (yes its a replica) and since its black and helped cover some lines, it looked pretty badass considering I'm not running any side skirts or diffuser. I have some cf feed side skirts ready to be installed and I'm thinking of going all out and getting the shine street diffuser as well. I haven't seen any pictures with this setup, but I'm sure it would look great although I'm ready for a change since the bumper literally has 1 1/4 inch of clearance from the ground lol.

So, what bumpers do you guys suggest?
-My car is painted brilliant black,
-CF feed sides,
-Possibly may add a street diffuser
-Fenders pulled slightly, not going widebody
-This bumper allows IN HUGE AMOUNTS OF AIR, I'd like to stay with something that also allows this (Gotta keep this performance related :])

Here is a picture of the damage on top, its completely cracked along the entire bottom of the bottom edge as well .. And it now has a large crack in the center that wraps around in a half moon shape. Part of the damage came with the car, part of it was from someones arrogance.

 

i had the same bumper before, then I switched to the Feed front bumper.

Feed is the way to go.

 

You can fix that bumper if you want to. I fixed mine and it looks brand new after paint. If you want to know how just PM me.

If not, there are plenty of bumpers to choose from that look good. I have a Burnout front bumper, feed is good, I also like the Mazdaspeed R-spec and I like this one shown on the r-magic car. not sure what it is.

 

Feed bumper

 

Hmm so thats 4 for feed lol.

And yeah for sure it wouldn't be too hard of a fix, I've done quite a bit of fiberglass repair. Its just the time to build it back up, and the fact that the bumper stretches so low to the ground + I am dropping the front end even more and finally on top of that, the roads in my city aren't friendly AT ALL.

I'll look into the feed, thanks. There are only 3-4 rx7's in my city, 2 aren't running and the two that are, have stock front ends so I'll still stand out either way. Thanks guys!

 

Don't use fiberglass, to easily damaged.

 

My entire bumper is made of fiberglass I'd support the crap out of the back with fiberglass and a wire mesh type of material if I do choose to keep it, and then body filler to smooth it on the visible side. The glass is pretty thick overall on the entire bumper, except the bottom lip. Its got to be like 1/8 of a inch thick AT MOST .. probably to keep it flexible, but then the paint ends up with cracks over time due to slight rubbing from the terrible roads.

 

I believe this is the Total Car Produce Magic kit... Just for anyone wondering.

 

After time all fiberglass bumpers look bad. Chopping, cracking and they break easily. Urethane is the way to go. A bump on a FG bumper is also more likely to damage the rest of body also.

 

^Agreed.
But with that said, that bumper still appears to be repairable.

 

Easily repairable, I agree with that 100%. I am just seeing what's out there and getting ideas. Thanks everyone. Ill post what I decided to do in my build thread after I collect a few more pages of pictures.
