How-To: RaideFab Bumper Fitment Solution for 1st Gen Mazdaspeed 3-Option1

Brackets are on order. The studs for the latches need to be shortened, so I am placing an order today for the ones at the length we need, and I will include them with the brackets, as well as the rest of the hardware to be used.

 

New pins ordered! Brackets ordered.

This set will be sold here first. 25 kits total.

Will open for ore-orders in a week I think. Shipping in less than a fortnight.

Proceeds go to MSO to fund operation like the raffles and such.

 

Just a note-please do not order latches now if you plan to use the kit. We are getting a special deal through them on just the latch itself, as our kit uses a custom post for the latch to connect to.

 

Too late...lol. Had to get those white latches!!

 

I don't need this, but I'd like to have this as an option to quickly remove my front bumper. Might even push me to get a meth head setup.

tapatalk, it sucks

 

the bumper is still connected at the bottom and on the sides. this is to just keep it from popping out because of broken tabs.

 

Yeah, I know. I did not get a deal on em until last night. Grab the springs too. I recommend them.

There will still be the dozen screws underneath and the ones up top to hold it in. But that fenderwell bolt itself is an evil thing. This is our way of making it so it is not a factor.

 

FYI, the bumper fix kit is to be release in about a week. Signup is here:

I'm certain you have to remove the bumper cover?

To install it? At least the fenderwell screws and the 3 underneath. Enough to install the latch bracket and latches.

 

Can genwon owners get away with just doing the one per side in the black bracket like you have pictured in OP? Mine is popping out on the driver's side at the very back.

 

Thats all I have is the one in the rear, thats the only space mine was really popping out.

 

I myself used 2, because it was also popping out around the headlight. But if just the rear part, 1 set is all you need.

 

Oh, alright! Thanks! I'm excited.

 

Of course if you want the front, I won't stop you!

 

I'll be giving those who claimed a set to respond in 1 way before Tuesday, then I will open up sales to those kits.

 

Ordered tonight, thanks Ken and Eric

 

Any possiblity of ms6 brackets in the future? Currently struggling with passenger side bumper sag

 

So far, everyone has been using the single latch and working fine Have you tried it? https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/navys-ms6-bumper-fix.426/

 

Just in case this will help. Brackets and latches were out of stock. Wanted 4 latches and was going give up. So tried discount code and worked for latches only. Great discount code!!
