ok so i bought a new frount mount ic, its 33x12x3.5 wich is twice what my old one was so when i mounted it my bumper needed to be trimmed or buy a aftermarket frount bumper. after twisting and turning at nite tryin to think of a way not to trim the bumper i desided to trim anyways. but now i have a new problem. the center part of the s5 bumper when trimming out the grill area becomes rather week and flimsy so i needed some suport so it would not drag on the ground when driving over 20mph. i was lookin and lookin all over for a nice looking lip but only found ones that would not help or just didnt look right except the factory mazda areo parts. i am in the middle of makeing a frount splitter/ belly pan combo but untill that is compleat i need something there to suport the bumper and dress it up some. so i come to work thismoring ( i work at a mazda dealer as a tech) i go into the parts department ask to check price and availabuilty of the factory aero lip that was an option for the s5 t2s and gtus and found olive branch has only 3 left in the warehouse in SQ red . list was 389 or some **** and sale price was 472 in my dealer, i got it for 269 . hehe got to love workin in a dealer hjehehe . now that i get it on thursday i still need to make a suport plate that goes under the bumper out of aluminum. anyway just needed to post this usless ****.

yeah the factory lips look good!

there was 3 in olive branch and 2 in cali in the color SQ red . he may have gotten a differnt color.

 

they seem to keep 2-3 in stock, but sometimes they run out until the next boat shows up

 

great now ive got to order one for the evntual stock s5 t2 i will own.
