i like the EVO bumper and the skirts, but the rear end caps are horrible IMO.

I think the GTX bumper looks best all by itself.

the gtx rear bumper corksport shows is on a hatch i always wondered if it fit the protege. or am i just not looking at the right bumper or place.

itzkcatz February-19th-2003 02:33 PM

I don't think it will fit on a protege. ,,Jon

scottie855 February-19th-2003 03:14 PM

what year of gtx bumper do i get?

itzkcatz February-19th-2003 03:34 PM

I had pics of mazda speed wests when i was gonan buy it off braden. and the side openings were alittle different one looked alittle more aggresive. Im not sure if his bumper is the more aggresive one or not. i think his is off a 91 ..Jon

ok
 
ight well this isnt a GTX its prolly a dx or maybee even an LX...in anycase this is a picture of a rear JDM bumper for the protege. Personally if i was doing an entire JDM conversion i would get my rear too look just like this with the GTX front bumper...but i got the EVOIII so imma stick with the combat kits rear bumper. Oh and the EVOIII side skirts have "EVOLUTION" etched into them thats why i wouldnt get them..pretty cheesy lookin IMO.

The combat kit has been coming out for the past year or so....
Corksport are damn slow .........:mad:

I e-mailed them about 2 weeks ago and this is what i got the other day.............
"Hello

That kit is still being finished. There was a problem with the front bumper and the design of the wheel arch which had to be corrected. We have spent a considerable amount of money to get this kit finished a perfect. The moulds for the parts are going to be finished up in a few more weeks. Once done we are expecting 1 month after that for the kits to be built and another month for shipping. Once the kits are started in production we will be posting the kit on the webpage.

Derrick "..........................
So that is what's supposedly going on now. I really wish that they would hurry up with this thing. What about bodykit.co.nz, did they ever really sell the combat kit, or do they just have pics of it??

suprastylin23 February-20th-2003 10:09 AM

yeah i emailed them last year cause i wanted some info on just the rear bumper and that spoiler and they sent some email saying they were taking deposits and wanted like 500 down for the kit. i was like fuck that all i wanted was the damn spoiler and bumper. hopefully theyve changed there mind about selling the kit in pieces instead of as a whole.

the GTX bumper is OEM urethane, flexible and curb friendly. Sits about 2-2.5" lower than stock. Requires brackets, but much more installer friendly.

So does that mean that you use the stock fiberglass crash brace or does it come with its own?

mazdaspeedwest: what years of the gtx have the same front bumper as the one that you got? i have been looking of the web and i can not find a place that sales oem parts for the gtx, do you know some where that does? one more question the gtx did come to the states right?

itzkcatz February-20th-2003 01:17 PM

No that year Familia/GTX did not get to the states or Canada. U will have to find one over seas and get it shipped. Or call corksport and see what they can do for u ...Jon
