Hey guys,

I just bought a Speed 3 and all I can say is WOW!!!! Anyway, when I backed the car out of my drive way tonight the front skirt dragged the sidewalk. The scratched the black rubber piece that goes around the bottom of the bumber. I would like to know if there any aftermarket skid plates available??

Thanks,

No skidplate will go to the point where it will cover that black lip thats at the bottom of the bumper. Most if not All (the stock one included) starts just behind that lip thats about an inch higher. So really no skid plate will work. That black mini lip is expendable and you could probably get a new one from mazda.

Actually I just looked at my pics, seems like that black lip piece is riveted into the bumper. So that may pose a problem...
