lower grill Wings west, MP3 same?

[microbionic]

well i am a newcommer, but i plan on spending quality time here, for my first quest for knowledge, i am about to purchase the wings west kit for my 02 MP
i was just checking all the stuff i need


does the lower grill from the MP3 fit into the opeing in the wings west kit
id rather not cut myself trimming out some of my own mesh,

and the pic of the wings west kit looks to have the same grill as the MP3 , but some first hand experience would be apretiated.. Thanks all

i can answer that for you. no it is not the same.
i made a template with cardboard off my ww grill, then to it to the mazda dealership and put it on a protege5(same as mp3). and the mp3 is a little taller.
hope this helps ya.

if you paint it, make sure you paint it right. if you dont the road debris will chip it so bad.
good luck.

Dude man, I put my factory grill into my WW bumper. Takes a bit of tweaking, but I got her in there and mounted it real tight! I kept my factory fog lights too, but you need to put them onto the frame because the bumper has no backing on the fog light holes. A pain in the ass. I'd never buy another WW kit again. You need to copy and paste these links for the big versions.
