Damaged Front Bumper and Front Lip

[lokalmotive]

I had a little run in with a Jack Russell Terrier the other day and all I can say is wow.... I didn't think something so small could do so much damage. I apologized to the owners for their dog jumping in front of me but it still hasn't fixed my car. I need a new bumper and new lip. I'd like to go carbon fiber with the lip but need to find a bumper cover now. Does anyone know where I can find one that looks like OEM but doesn't have that OEM price tag?

It's not like me showing my pictures of my dog is going to help the one I hit. Nor does it help my fix my car. I don't mean to sound insensitive or mean but I've just had some rough luck with the body of my MSP (starting with dad wrecking it on the way to get some warrantee work done). It's just getting old constantly having to fix problems on the outside instead of getting to tweak some power out of it. But once I get this bumper situation settled then I'll be good to go.

Try Mazmart, its here in Atlanta but they do ship things out and as you can see from my sig, I am in the same boat, need new cover and lip. I haven't checked with them yet on prices, but they can be a little over board there. You need to find out how much it would cost for a new one from mazda, call mazmart and find out how much they want for one, it will be used and possibly have one in your color, so then you will need to haggle the price with them based on milage of the used part and try to come to a agreement you can both live with. If they won't budge then it might be worth it to buy a brand new piece.
