Okay, then I have the factory front. Any good online places to purchase the OEM front bumper?

Is this the OEM front bumber?

I really hope you haven't purchased the front air dam yet, because that is NOT the front bumper. If you look at the first of the two pictures above, the front air dam is just the extra piece that you see attached to the lower part of the OEM front bumper.

EDIT: oh, and that link you provided above is the front air dam... which, again, is NOT a whole bumper.

 

No, I haven't ordered anything yet...Is there an online website you recommend for purchasing the OEM front bumper?

Thanks,

David

 

I would try giving the guys a call at Rosenthal Mazda (www.finishlineperformance.com).

I didn't see the OEM bumper (or even the Mazdaspeed one) listed in their catalogue, but they have pretty good prices compared to most other vendors, so give them a call and see what they can do.

 

yup +1

 

as vampire said, the front air dam is just a skinny little piece of plastic, its not the entire bumper.

its $332, you could probably have it painted for another few hundred. you will save yourself money if you swap the bumpers yourself and just bring it in to get painted. although some shops like to paint the parts off the car.

 

try putting up a WTB thread in the for sale section. A lot of members here have bodykits and have no use for their front bumper, way cheaper then buying brand new.

 

already painted too!

but since there are a dozens different shades of of the grays (both tg and ss) the paint will be off just a bit.
