So...I just got to thinking the other day at the RARITY of the MSP exterior parts...as in...they're impossible to find and Mazda has been on back order of the things forever cause they're just never being made again...let's face it. WELL, I found a local shop that has an ABS Plastic machine that I've seen some good work from as far as creating "stock" dashes and the sort. I wonder what the legalities would be if I could FIND a MSP lip, to go ahead and have new "stock" lips be formed.
What was the original part made of? Was it fiberglass or plastic? And what do you think an ABS plastic MSP lip would be worth? Yeah, you'd have to probably have a heat gun for proper fitment...but if you're installing plastic body pieces, shouldn't a heat gun be in your tools anyway?
...lol, just for luaghs, the owner of the shop did a "stock" dash for his son's lincoln in Lexan...then we made it glow...
But no seriously, does mazda still own the sole right to produce and sell these things, and would they SUE me if I wanted to make them out of ABS Plastic?
