Te junkyard would be a good place to start. I can be a lot cheaper that way.

No, they've changed quite a bit over that last 15 years, but I practically built the Honda I used to Road Rally and AutoX with many junkyard parts. I researched, and took a few educated guesses, and discovered that many other parts from Hondas and other cars would fit and work. i.e. I was using VW and Renault mags, Accord seats (the '86's had very nice side bolsters and fit the Civic pretty well,) bigger brakes from a station wagon, and shifter and steering wheel from Preludes.
You could ask to get on a call list if something comes in? Or perhaps they could search it for you on their network? Junkyards have had their own network for years now and swap parts all the time.

It is indeed. The MazdaUSA web site is very deceptive, it has really nice effects in sunlight though. My priorities were the Manual Tranny, then the color, and it has not turned that bad, except they get dirty just by looking at them
Anyway, to keep on topic, here is the Stormy Blue Mica color on my car (and me in the pic, LOL):

You can never judge a color based upon a swatch from print or internet. Even pro photography can not fully reproduce what the eye can see.
Also many colors change in effect with different light. Like my velocity red which has a deep metallic sparkle in direct sunlight. In overcast all you see is a dark red, same with night time. Makes sense right? The hardest thing to capture is that sparkle in sunlight. I can never do it.

Yeah, I agree, that sparkle in direct sun from the metallic mica colors is really cool. Yet, the stormy blue mica adds more craziness. Check this out (I posted one of mine to keep it on topic, LOL). Oh well, me still likes

Home Depot. It's a bottom garage door seal stuck on w/1" wide 3M gray tape. Am I right?
