Mine was pretty twisted. Ryan put in a new Mazdaspeed PPF for me last month.

i have a broken two . if i break another i'll probably buy a mazdaspeed!

Mine was broke when i bought the car, and bought the MazdaSpeed to replace it. Shaved off 2-3 lbs, more torsional rigidity, and painted a pretty red. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png Looking at the bracing on the MS PPF, you can see where the additional bracing has been done...and on mine it was right where the stock PPF was cracked / bent.



This was at the same time as replacing both engine mounts, and both Diff mounts, trying to find a rubbin / clearance issue....too bad it ended up being a bad exhaust hanger after it was said and done. Spent WAY too much money for something that I eventually fixed with a $2.15 rubber grommit.

It always seems to work out that way doesnt it.

BTW How much does the Mazdaspeed PPF cost?

Sivart_R1 05-19-2003 02:38 PM

Always seems that way lately. Shouldn't complain, I've gotten a lot of the little annoying things fixed on the car that way....fixing everything else other than what I was looking for.



Don't remember the cost on the PPF, and not having any luck finding a part number for it right now...think it was somewhere near $250 to $350.

Doesn't Jason have it on his site?



Yup....sure does Here we go!



Pretty pricey though

The RE-Amemiya PPF is $75 cheaper if you trade in your old one. So, I guess if you include shipping back to japan then mabe you save $50?

Whoa count the savings https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif
