I made & just recently installed a lotus exige style corner front splitters on my stock '02 bumper! I have them for about a week or two now with no problem. I have some pics but how do you post them?

Go to www.imageshack.us, pick the file on your computer and upload, then copy the "direct" link under Advanced Linking, and reply with:

topshop makes one for the stock 00 bumper and it looks decent ligns up nicely with it get in contact with them, it sits flush on the sides and will match up with the furthest outward point of the bumper.

actually they made some like the ones you posted with just the corners your pics for my RX7 they tried to sell them here but no bitters maybe you can give it a shot on yours and be one of the first with there version of it, you might have to trim some but give them a call on both of them the full one phhh not to many pics of that one cause it was on before my car was painted, and i dont have them,

You are right imatunergts! These corner splitters can be custom to almost any shape you want. To add more details about the splitters, it uses 4 stock bolt locations (2 on the wind deflector and 2 on the bumper) plus 3 additional mounts on the front bumper & support bracket per splitter. I made sure the splitter is not going anywhere with this additional mounts. This is a bolt on method splitters without cutting or drilling. Sure I can make this splitters for someone if they are interested but the only draw back is it would take me 3-4 weeks to finish since I only do this for fun. I'll give more details later if anyone is interested getting one.

I'm currently working on a front splitter that goes all the way across!!! I'll have the photos as soon as I'm done with it!!!

Imatunergts, how is the mounting of this splitter on mazda? Good or bad in terms of reliability?

every splitter i had from topshop (3) in my case 1. for the stock 00 front bumper, 2. for the kaminari front bumper custom for it, and 3. the split twins for the rx7,,,, which all 3 are availiable to buy from topshop all fit well and were very sturdy with scraps n stuff

1,3 are universally fit and mounted with screws n never had them fall off or anything
