front lip

[thecrash91]

So i am going to pick up an RX8 soon, and im 90% sure it doesnt have the front lip that was an option. Where could i get one cheap? i know onlinemazdaparts probably has it but its probably going to be ~400 bucks from them or something like that, plus painting it on top of that. thanks!
this is the lip im talking about, the one on this car.

I got the one for the wife's car off eBay. I'd recommend searching there first.

all i could find is a dealer selling them, however they come painted and for 400 + shipping so thats not too bad. ill probably end up getting that. how are they mounted? 3m double sided tape?

now that ive been browsing this section of the forum i must ask, where can i get mazdaspeed bumper? i think i read somewhere they are rare now because they are out of production? its pure sex.

Here is a link to the place I got mine from:

$260 is a lot cheaper than $400. It attaches with a combination of fasteners and double-sided tape.

As for the Mazdaspeed bumper, I think you might still be able to get one but it will be unpainted. When I got the MS side skirts for the wife's car last year they had just stopped selling the prepainted ones. If you really want to find out check with Online Mazda Parts, Jason Baggie will help you out. Just be sure you are sitting down when you get the quote!

yes but that one comes unpainted, might not be worth it.

Not sure where you got that from, it is painted (see the "most colors in stock" at the top of the listing). It doesn't cost anything to send them a query.

good points sir. thanks for the info. im still browsing a lot of rx8s, might even find one with the lip already there.
