What bumper is this (FD)?

this one has weird lights in it, i like them a lot and wanted to know where to get this.

I believe it is the Mazdaspeed A-Spec, I could be wrong about the style but it is Mazdaspeed

Yellow = Mazdaspeed A-spec
Silver = Mazdaspeed GT concept (often called "GT-C" for short)

Try asking Bryan at rx7boutique if you're after an authentic one.

No
Correct. These pieces are VERY expensive to get from Japan, the a-spec front bumper is extremely rare in the states.

Bryan is the man to get the authentic pieces from. The 2nd car belonged to a local guy named Jim and is not an authentic bumper.

The authentic GTC bumper has a slot in it.
The Pettit knockoff GTC does not have the slot on the front but has ducts on the side.
The JKL knockoff does not have a slot on the front or the sides but has larger front ducts for the oil coolers.

I've been spending a LOT of time researching this particular bumper. Once again, Bryan/Pure is the man to get authentic parts from.
