Mazdaspeed Scoop: Price check

I don't remember how much I paid. It was a few years ago so the amount escapes me. I'm gonna guess $200ish and I also had to toss in a spare OEM scoop I had on hand.

Don't worry I thought the same thing about the people saying it's not that rare. I was surprised I didn't get a PM from people saying "it's not that rare, I can paypal you today."

It's worth more than $200 to me. The reality of it is that I don't have alot of good connections for parts. Hell I'm one of a handful of rotary owners in my city. Other than an FD that's V8 swapped I'm the only rotary that's been modified in any way....at least that I know of. Point being, this is probably the only authentic one I'll ever see.

My hangup with it is that I'm not sure how much I like it. I think it looks killer on a modified body. But my vert is staying mostly stock looking. I've got some TII sideskirts and I'm deciding which of four front lips I like.

Corksport's Odura/Odula replica
Corksport's Mazdaspeed replica
FEED replica
OEM turbo lip

I had an OEM on the car and it got snapped from a deep pothole. I took it off to repair it and it got mistaken for trash and thrown out.

The only other thing that might go on the car is a carbon fiber replica of the S4 duckbill spoiler. Though I'd paint match it.

Eventually I'll do some rims, but that's way off in the distance. For now I like my OEM BBS.
