It's far from done, and it needs quite a little bit of work, including paint, but what do you think about the new bumper?
How does it look?

I have some mint blue replicas in my laundry room that I am debating putting on. They just need a good sanding and painting. Honestly, the more I look at my irl the more I like it like this. I think I might paint the side skirts black too. I need to do a mockup first and see how the mintblue sides would look with the ms bumper.
And GR-8, I don't think it is authentic. It took me about 4-5 hours with a dremel fitting it. It still has a lot of imperfections but I might leave it for a while at least. I think it is pfrp. Seems like plastic on the outside but you can see some fibers on the inside. Anyway, its a lot more flexible than the old mint blue fiberglass bumper I had. I'm kinda looking forward to showing it off saturday at the movie.
BTW GR-8, it is black. but nice black with shiny specs in it.

The bumper looks good. Are you going to show it off tonight?
That miata doesn't look all that bad.

I told you tonight, and I figure I should post for others to see
Your car actually looks really awesome with the bumper black. I think side skirts and a rear bumper in black could actually look really good. I think you should leave it black

nonono. Unpainted bodykits look heinous. Your car will look awesome painted with that MS bumper!
