Jesus Christ, they use another company's picture (without credit) and you think it's a legitimate deal?
Your generation needs to figure out that cheapest price does not equal best value. Besides...$225 bumper + $400 of prep work by the body shop to actually get the cheap thing to fit right/fix flaws, etc = $625 for cheap fiberglass bumper...
If you want a cheaper 99 plateless bumper, get the fiberglass one from Pettit. At least they're a known vendor and they support the RX-7 community. The Rotary Extreme one is polyurethane, just like the OEM bumper.

Don't blame an entire generation for trying to get a better deal - there is no such thing as loyalty in the US. Your generation started Wal-Mart we are just living the reality of China made goods for American prices.
Quality is not cheap. Unless you like green fuzzy dice and a cheetah steering wheel cover, which Wal-mart sells!

Although I do agree with rynberg, but I have also heard of $1500 front bumpers not fitting well either. Here is an example, an aftermarket techart front bumper for a porsche cost 2.5k you need to spend another 800-1000 dollars to make it fit right. I do not agree that the more money a product is the better. Although, when something is so cheap I doubt the quality good be great. Chucks feed front bumper is great and had no fitting issues, and the real feed is more than twice what his costs....

yeah but he accused me of talking up a "fiberglass bumper" the whole reason for me making this post was because the jfracing bumper is indeed URETHANE. i dont like the fact that he accused me of wanting to take the easy way out...as a matter of fact ive just bought a real 99spec bumper, apexi sideskirts, and a carbon fiber mazdaspeed hood from atihun so i am far from taking a cheaper route. and he blames it on a generation...dont tell me their arent some oldtimers out there that are worse than some of the young guys. i simply saw this product, brought it to everyones attention and wanted to see what people thought of it.

Some of the stuff you probably buy as "high quality" are probably made in China. They just require min. order of 100 to 200 per shipment.
