The wing looks like Racing Beat Type 2.

Is there an inprint on the underneath of the wing? Looks like Mazdasppeed, or a Mazdaspeed replica.

Replicas run about $400; Originals $2000 on Yahoo Japan.

But watch out for shipping costs.

Haven't ripped it off yet mostly looking for side card inserts for it the ones on it are beat!!

I meant the underside of the blade. You could feel the indents if there is an identifying mark.

Here is an example of a replica.

Buyee will kill you on the shipping. You might try Jesse Streeter Corporation. He might help.

All three of these examples have been rolling over on Buyee for months. I suspect the shipping costs are deterring buyers.

Redbul 05-17-22 01:02 AM

I have seen just the replacement screw covers on Buyee.

Dwilliams86 05-17-22 01:20 AM

Yeah really trying to find exact same one with bolt pattern so I don't need to drill more holes smh. And wing cards don't have screw in cards they are like double sided tape. I feel like it's gotta be a rep.

Any ideas of what front bumper?

There are a number of replica bumper makers in California. Maybe start there.

Here is an example a friend just installed. A little more updated look. Came up by Greyhound from California.

not bad I like. Really trying to find same style I currently have.

Redbul 05-17-22 01:55 AM

Almost looks like a Panspeed. Sometimes the replica makers will change somewhat. I am trying to think of the California replica maker. Something like Vesero?

I stand corrected. The Racing beat Type 2 and Mazdaspeed are almost identical except the Mazdaspeed one has adjustment screws under that paned on the ends. No such adjustment screws or panel for the RB wing.

also, that front looks like Burnout to me. Probably from Shine Auto Project.

That remined me local kid smacked up his burnout kit. I think replacement bumper was about $450. But he had to switch to S6 stock due to insurance limits.

Redbul 05-17-22 03:36 PM

My brother-in-law' car has something similar. We have not figured out the maker for his car either. His car came like that from Japan in 2015.

Thank you guys definitely looks like it's probably the burn-out appreciate you guys!! If anyone knows where I could find side cards for wing I'd appreciate it trying to avoid doing whole new wing unless the holes matched up that would be beautiful ahah.

Not a burnout bumper, the openings for the oil coolers and radiator/IC are too large. The front bumper that you are asking for is made originally by Vertex (but ViS makes/made a replica)

For anyone that is interested, here are the differences between the Racing beat and MS wing:

Racing beat wing type II (never installed-dry fit only)
- slightly beefier blade
- 2 angle adjustments
- 2 tamperproof Allen screws to retain endcaps.
- 3 holes drilled direct into fibreglass on each side for mounting. On mine, they didn't line up perfectly to the stock 99 holes.
- 95% true to shape and design of MS
- slight gapping on leading edge (nearest the hatch glass), fitment would be 9/10 on a dark colour such as black.
- Brand markings clearly imprinted on wing

MS Wing.
- Fitment near perfect. Slightly smaller blade
- fixed angle
- encaps have no screws, only double sided tape
- 2 holes with backmounted nuts welded to flat iron for mounting. Recessed design to hide mounting tape.
- holes appear to match stock 99 spec holes. (They are located centre of the indents underside edges of the hatch. Fitment looks spot on and very minimal gapping even on light colour such as silver.

Side note... would be very interested to see an Odula blade customized to fit a MS wing.

Regarding those end plates for the wing. If you have damaged examples, maybe seek out a local 3D printer operator to have them scanned and printed.
