A very cool company in Japan is making sick parts for the NA and the NB. I was looking at the low profile NB trunk lid and front bumper and then I realized they also sell a Pitcrew like front bumper for the NA as well. It's sick! check it out Yo!! http://s2-racing.com/index.html

its been out for some time now, but I like it for sure, looks more like a AC Cobra front bumper though

They make a bunch of replica parts.
I just looked through their parts catalog. This is very interesting. I wish a company would do this in the states. I really want a Barchetta bumper style bumper, but I can't afford the crazy cost to buy or ship on.
Kinda looks like a fish about to gobble up some bait... what is the price difference versus a legit Pitcrew? I can't read whatever language that link is.

The S2 bumper is 55000 Yen or about 557.59 US Dollar.
I'm not sure of the price for a authentic PitCrew.

a Legit Pitcrew front bumper is close to $3000 USD, not including shipping!! I saw an invoice for one here from a local member that bought one recently. :shock:

Legit PCR nose is more like a Karmann Ghia.
The S2 racing is like a mini AC Cobra.
I much prefer the PCR.
If I wanted S2 racing nose I would choose something like their M2-1002 replica.

That's insane.
I just couldn't rationalize spending that type of money on a Miata. Not because the Miata isn't worth it! I'd just feel so terrible if something happened to the front end while I was driving it around, because I'd drive that thing everywhere! It'd look too damn awesome not to drive everywhere.

somebody go get a FactoryFive Car and just mold the front bumper onto a NA :teehee:

I've got a genuine pitcrew bumper waiting to go on a car and prefer that myself although I do like s2 racing products.
On my green v spec I have one of their products.

That bumper looks so awesome!
I think I'm going to start saving money and import something awesome from Japan. Too bad it will be in 10 years.

Would you need another good to fit the s2 bumper? From what I understand it's just the bumper and the hood looks a lot differnt

I like this.
It looks to have less front overhang than the Pit Crew, always a good thing. It probably looks better than the pc from the side. It's also cheap for a legit part that, as you can see, would totally transform your car.
On the minus side, when I look at it I keep thinking of a carp fish.

It appears the Y55,000 bumper on yahoo Japan has the std hood

Found the curved hood link too. It doesn't mention a hood in the ad.

It states that the Mini lights are an extra Y39,800

I like that it doesn't have any leftover traces of the pop ups (unlike the PC).

Its nice to see this company is still doing new parts for the mk1. I think one a wide arch 5 this pitcrew style bumper would work well.

There are also the Esqueleto kits, I'm not a fan of the one piece front on the NA kit, but I'd seriously consider the Briza kit if I had an NB and the disposable income.

I've only ever seen them called Shinkai.
Esqueleto seems to have some information on their site, but they don't look to be a reseller. Might be worth contacting them if you're interested in buying.

Thanks for answering that, Roadster7. Saw in an email that Rogue had quoted my old post. Did a search and found your informative post here http://mazdaroadster.net/showthread.php?14998-Karuizawa-Roadster-Meeting-2017
While I'm in a Pitcrewesque thread here's a couple of recent pic of mine
