Do you have different back lights then an 07 hatch? I see you blacked them out, they just look different.

they are actually the smoked euro lights or altezzas. People seem to say they're gross, ugly, stupid whatever. but i like them and thats all i really care about(breakn).
But yeah, they are aftermarket lights.

Ah, another Rally White in our midst. It seems we are fewer and further between than CWP.

You mean (almost) like these?

Mine are clear and I kept the OE reverse lights, but they don't cost $400 for a set of two and take 6 weeks to get to you. Plus they are easier for others to see your car... better than OE, so I've been told.

I also see you're in Pottstown? Not far from where I spent most of my life (Easton area.)

^^Thats cool. but yea i seem to get a lot of crap from people about them. i don't really know why. White FTW!!!

Where do i fine just a plain black open mouth grill for a 07? Every one i have came across is for the sedan

Is that a garage vary front lip?^

ALSO, will a 08/09 back bumper fit on my 07? I hate my back bumper. I want one like Fams.

 

[fam]

Keep in mind its more than just the back bumper...youd need the WHOLE bumper assembly (foam and metal reinforcements) as its completely different from what ive been told...you could probably get a body kit easier than switching those pieces out unless you found a wrecked one in a junkyard.

 

[Chefsp0t]

It's a GV replica from baysonR on ebay. It fits very well for the price.

I was under the impression that swapping hatch bumpers in the rear was pretty easy and straightforward. I have not had mine off the car yet though so I couldn't say for sure.

 

[xMazdax]

I literally hate my back bumper. I hate how its red then black. If it was just all plastic black then true red, then plastic black. But I want the 08 09 bumpers

 

[Tungsten6]

pretty sure its the same bumper, just more plastic.

you might be able to paint the top part with Plasti Dip

And if you dont like how it turns out it peels right off.

[xMazdax]

Wow that seems like a good idea! But idk i have a thing for the 08 09 bumpers. I like the small mesh look

 

[Tungsten6]

You can get the mesh peice from the dealer. its like 40 bucks.
just go to the dealer and tell them you want a ms3 rear valance.

 

[fam]

Mesh wont fit his year bumper

 

[Tungsten6]

Are we thinking about the same thing?
lower piece of plastic.

Yep^^

He might be thinking 04-06 because he was saying you need the whole bumper assembly blah blah when all you need to do is paint the top part black (or plasti dip) and get the rear valence from the dealer lol.
