the bottom "spoiler area" as a guy at mazda told me has broken off. some of the latches have snapped off and I need to get it fixed. What would be the cheapest answer.

I remember last time my father swerved into an animal with my 8 on the highway, and it cost nearly 1k to fix. That would suck.

jus get a completely diff front bumper :D, mazdaspeed would be the most common route...

neil? that sounds indian? are u of the brown skinn? lol

yessir I am. guess what the p stands for.

also, I am just going to let mazda fix it. they said 230bucks approx. ( a little less).

one place tried to replace the whole front bumper (and they told me they couldn't buy separate parts) so it would cost 500+. screw that.

but I am still out 230bucks. I guess it is time I paid back for all hte leeching I have done.

however I reallly want some of those silver streaks that people attach to theirs. they are really expensive for a little piece of metal. I should mold them myself.
