Welcome and please update your location in your profile!

If you are referring to an aftermarket front bumper for a FC RX7 then I am not sure we (the MX5 fraternity) will be much help here. Maybe orx626 or someone truly into their rotaries will be able to help?

However, if you looking to put something on your NA/NB MX5 that is similar to that then I think S2 Racing do something similar.
See my previous post on this subject here -> clicky.

Hope this helps.

Looks like an FC RX7. Could it be a Mazdaspeed bar since it has a Mazdaspeed branding?

Did you take it from the MX5 thread on JDMST? I'm pretty sure there was some discussion just after it was posted as to whether it was an NA or an FC. Personally I think it's an FC but if you're really keen and had some reasonable money behind it I'm sure you end up with something similar.

Edit: Ahh, beat me to it.

haha yeah i wanted to make my car look like that one so bad. would've been nice if i had the money but im looking for one more in my price range. im looking at that autokonexion na GT wide body. the only thing i would dislike about it is the way it stops at the back lights.

It's a Mazdaspeed GT-C front bar from an FD that's been modded to fit an FC. Different!

Here's the original FD one.
