I heard Pettit makes their own for their own GTC replicas but i can't comfirm that. Give em a call and let us know The only way i hear of getting them is buy actually buying the GTC bumper. I remember Damian got a hold of some, maybe you should PM him.

I searched a while on here and found that most people say you can only get them with the front bumper from mazdaspeed, but I found one old post that said rotary extreme was going to be making them. The guy (chuck from rotary extreme) in the post said "we'll have those in about a month" But I couldn't find any on the RE website. Any body know? Chuck? I tried making some myself but I just couldn't get the corner edges in quite perfect enough for my satisfaction, and then as I kept heating up the plexi and pushing to bend it...CRACK. So I just gave up. I'm interested in buying a set too

How'd you do it t-von, I'd like to see some pics too or at least a little write up on how it was done. I tried doing everything by hand but it just takes so long.

As promised.


I've decided to do a write-up on how to make these. Please bare with me because it may take a while because I've been very busy lately. By the way, it wasn't hard at all to make these. It just takes some time to get the templet just right.

wow looks pretty good, I'm assuming you used a heat gun to bend acrylic? Well done though, I would only be concerned about moisture getting under the acrylic.

Just get some of that very thin adhesive foam weatherstriping for doors, etc. Should be ok as long as you dont blast it with a pressure washer. In that case, there should be some adhesive rubber piping....havent found any yet

Don't worry guys, I haven't forgotten! Like I said before, Ive been very busy. Also for me to do a proper write-up, I would need to remake my own covers and display pics of the process.
