buy a new one from NOPI for $266. They don't ship them to you from atlanta, instead they tell erebuni to ship them from brooklyn, NY. You could save the $90 shipping charge since you are practically within walking distance of erebuni corp.

hey is there any difference between the erebuni ms bumper and the corksport one?

[Steeb]

the erebuni and corksport are both fiberglass. the ms is not

[projectmx]

oh ok so there is a eurethane bumper for the car.. but $700 plus shipping is an impressive price ticket... the eurethane ms bumper for my car is like 251 that is almost 1/3 of the other one.

oh kay.............

the Mazda speed front bumper is fiber glass......

the only eurothane bumper is the jspec front bumper........

[Gro Harlem]

Not what I've seen / heard. I called corksport and derrick told me that the MS is glass too.

The corksport is identical to the erebuni, they are the same bumper! IT is fiberglass

the Mazdaspeed is higher quality, but ALSO fiberglass.

There is no urethane "body kit" you can get for the MX3 that I've seen. Unless you count buying a Euro-spec Presso bumper a "bodykit".

Its not rediculous

The MS bumper will fit perfectly with no mods needed.

The MS bumper was designed buy automotive designers that are artists, and they get paied $100,000.00 of dollars.

The bumper has to be expensive to recover the cost of design and QUALITY manufacturing. If you only plan on selling like 100-300 you have to sell them for around 1,000.00 to make money.

This was designed over 10 years ago, and its still the best looking front bumper out there.


by your logic an origonal 1960's Shelby 427 AC Cobra is a ripoff cause you can buy a replica for $40,000.00

so the erubuni won't fit perfectly right out the crate like the ms will?

[projectmx]

the poeple who made the fiberglass ms bumper for the mx3 are the same ones that make the eurethane ms bumper for the 95-98 protege... the protege one was around $200 but just went up to $251 i think... and i am sure in the states there are more mx3's with the jspec front end than 2nd gen pros cause i have found maybe 6 to 10 guys tops with that bumper.. but i've seen a lot more mx3s with the ms style bumper it just doesn't make sense to me why that one costs so 700 when its just fiberglass not eurethane... and wouldn't the corksport one fit just fine since its supposedly an exact copy?

[monty73741]

anything that is TRUE MAZDA SPEED is made by mazda corporation & it comes from japan

[Custommx3]

actually u can buy some mazdaspeed parts @ your local dealer now that they sell Mazdaspeed branded cars here in the states.

Hey Gro Harlem, I called both NOPI and Erebuni. Erebuni said they sell the front bumper for $389.00 US. NOPI told me they sell the bumper for $266.00 US (you were right on) But the NOPI sales associate didnt know much about how I would go about picking up the bumper from Erebuni brooklyn. What I would be doing is a scam (I love it ) But do you really think Erebuni is going to go for letting me pick up the bumper from them without me ordering it direct from Erebuni for $389.00 US?

Thx for any reply -Joe
