About the latches:
Only 1 latch will be needed for the fenderwell kit per side. If the area is popping off under the headlights as well, you will want to order a pair of full latch kits as well, which will be in the link sent when you order. You can even order our fenderwell kit first, then if needed after, order the front latch later.

The goal is to go from the bumper falling off, to this:

The how-to will be updated to reflect the final design as needed, but overall, it is pretty similar to the prototype.

And for GenPu, @Faeker and I are working on something that I hope will have a solution for you. It's the last modern Mazdsspeed bumper fix left to develop.
 
I have sent a PM to those on the waiting list for the latch kits with details on how to order. I have 5 total unclaimed, but 1 did email to get a set. ,so I am holding that for him. 4 open spots, and they are first come, first served. If you want to order a set, PM me. I need to ensure everyone who RSVPd for their kits, gets them.

I forgot to post pics! Here is the final product!

as @Raider said, I'll be working on the Pu solution soon. I ordered the parts needed today. Once they arrive I'll start laying out a plan. I have a couple of ideas I'm going to try before posting much about it.

Keep me in the loop on this, I am for sure in. My bumper has fit like shit from day 1.
 
Christmas in July! Brackets and hardware have arrived early!

I will process each one as they come in, for a next-day ship. 3 bracket kits open for $45, add $20 per decal if you want any.
 
Totally found this thread and forum as I was specifically looking for a fix for this exact problem. Even after getting the OEM hardware/brackets I was still having the problems. So, count me in and send an invoice? I'm totally down.

Also, hi. Haha

Pm sent!
 
OP updated, 6 sets paid for and shipping today! I got 2 unclaimed sets, First Come, first Served.
 
@Raider,
Apologies for first reserving and not responding. I'm not going to be able to swing this for the first batch, so if you haven't sold the bracket set I reserved go ahead. I should be financially tidied up for the second batch though. :)
