I've been meaning to replace my mesh as well. Can't we just buy universal mesh and cut it to the same size as the MS stuff? I was just going to get some from customcargrills.com . Should be better quality than what came with the MS bumper in the first place...

if you have a local buddy with a mazdaspeed front...
take the black plastic piece out and vacuum form the piece using plexi(plexi might not work, sometimes it makes bubbles) or another type of plastic and form the piece. Then just cut it out and bam.
you could probably do it in less than 10 minutes, and this achieves a near perfect replica of the bar. Then you could even sell it to people who have replica bumpers and make bank.
Just sayin'.
Just replace the truck in the video with the plastic piece from the bumper.. assuming its small enough to fit into an oven. You may need to make friends with a pizzeria owner

I went to my 3rd body shop yesterday (a Porsche/BMW shop) and they told me that they could probably fix it. I'm gonna take the piece off the bumper this weekend and see what they can do. They did say they'd probably paint it a matte black afterwards to hide any orange peel effect from the heat, or whatever.
BUT, I'm still on the lookout for one of these, so let me know guys!
