    Hey guys, just picked up this speed3 yesterday. I’ve been wanting a sporty hatch for a while now, and this one checked all the boxes. It’s a 2009 GT car, all stock with the exception of a Cobb cold air intake. Needs a little here and there but I’m very excited about it! I wish I had more/better pics of it. This is the only one I’ve taken so far.

    Gorgeous ride! I love to hear you’re going to provide it some TLC. Are you thinking about rocking some modifications while you fix it up?

    In time yes. There are rock chips here and there as well as other minor cosmetic issues I’d like to address first before I move on to modifying it. It will be modified later on, but I’d still like to keep it very reliable.

    Even in that blurry pic it’s that noticeable lol. Yeah it’s got some blemishes here and there. The bumper being one of the main ones, the little clips on the sides of the bumper are broken so I’ll probably have to get a new one. I’ll for sure check out your fab section. Thanks!

    EDIT: I just read your how to and checked the website. Seems they are out of the black dual bumper kit. Is this the right link to the one that I need

    https://www.quik-latch.com/mazdaspeed-bumper-quick-disconnect.html

    I’d rather get the two piece per side kit over the one piece per side kit for added security

    EDIT2: could I start with the one piece kit, than add the other one later if needed?

    Those are the right ones. And yeah if not loose near the headlight, stick to fenderwell. I'll see how long he will be out of the black ones.

    They don't do white. I've seen polished and they look pretty nice. No eta for black, they are trying to refill inventory though

    Ok, I guess I’ll wait a little longer to see if they get the black ones back in stock
