Any guess as to how well the knights sports fit on to the fd. Has any one worked with them before?

It definitely seems like it and if it is, it looks better without the horizontal slit.

Makes it look more like a 'modernized' mazda.

I'm usually not a huge fan of aftermarket front bumpers, but I'm really digging this one. Even the air opening closely resembles Mazdas design. I guess thats what they were going for. I cant wait to see more pics of this bumper at other angles.

Hopefully KS will start selling them soon

Just scared about the price that will come with this bahahah. Other than that, I am never going to buy another bumper other than this one for my FD. The black insert makes the car look really updated and modern and not to mention extremely bad ***

+1 my friends been in contact with KS, they are suppose to release the bumper at the end of the month with the price... from my understanding they are finishing up the rest of the kit before they release the bumper... apparently most of the interest is from the states too...

"Got some prices mang....... its 122900 yen which is technically not too bad $1290..... but the waiting time is between 1 - 3 months the guy says...... im going to visit KS itself though so hopefully that waiting time could be waivered."

I like it, but I'm wondering if it is aggressive enough for my FEED wide body fenders?

This is their profile of the car with the new front and rear:



Then I did a 30 second photoshop job on the feed fenders, they look nice side on I think, not sure the front is angry enough though!

@Enigmatic I believe it is aggressive enough to go with your wide FEED fenders, it's sometime hard to tell by a photo, but my impression is that every time I see a bumper in real life it looks more aggressive to me than it does on photos...and in this case I think the photo doesn't do it justice.

Thanks for the pic, had no idea they are also doing a rear bumper...

Yeh, looking forward to see more angles of it, I LOVE the profile of the bumper with the side vents, looks great. Would be nice to see it in carbon so you could paint the top half the colour of the car and have the Carbon match the side steps/diffuser

I'd like to see it painted a few different ways. At least with the high contrast of the photo (yellow car) it just looks like a big gaping hole in the front. Does look pretty good with the FEED fenders, though I've never been a fan of those due to the cutouts behind the wheels.

That rear/diffuser setup looks interesting too.
