as the title states, am i missing something? oem fitment is not quite there and there are these two notches in the bumper but i don't know what it's for.

 

do you have the plastic bracket next to the corner light? that's what those notches mount to.

 

really?!?! nowayyyy. i don't have them. i went to a bodyshop to get my bumper changed a while back and i guess when i took the stock back they threw that stuff away x.x there's also an abnormally large gap between the hood and the bumper too. is there supposed to be anything in between there besides the two plastic things?

 

Bring it back and call the body shop and ask them about the missing parts.

 

it's been like a year lol. not worth it.

 

on the top there is a metal bracket/brace that attaches from the bumper to the radiator support frame..all those parts will get you the fitment you need..and you can get those pieces from mazda or possibly used online

 

fuuuu. i'll go dealer and see what i need first x.x thanks for the help!! much appreciated

 

Oh, you didn't mention that.

Anyway, you just noticed it right now? lol
