Black 03 MSP
Crap. I was going to sell my 03msp fogs and put grills in their place. I didn't realize the holes are completely different. I already removed my fogs, and I just received the grills today, special ordered from mazda. This sucks, I was trying to make a little money, since I figured I could sell my fogs for more than the cost of the grills, but now I have to put my fogs back on. And I don't think mazda is going to accept a return, since I had them special ordered. CRAP! I guess I'm just an idiot.(pissed)
 
Oh yeah, I also bought a porting kit for some intake manifold work I'm planning on doing. I only have a dremel which takes 1/8" bits, and my dumbass goes and buys a kit of all 1/4" bits. AAAAAH!
 
The lip, the sockets are completely differently shaped. I think they would fit a p5 or 03.5 msp.
 
I think I'd be better off heating my apartment with burnt dollar bills. And no, it's not cold outside.
 
they make the grills you are looking for.. except i dont think us US guys can get them.. I've been trying to find the easiest way to get them shipped here from canada, but its gonna be a huge hassle. Unless someone on here could find an easy way to help?
the part numbers are:
B32E 50 C11 cover R, Lamp
B32E 50 C21 cover L, lamp

these parts have to be ordered individually to get the right ones. The US dealers all seem to get this number when they put either of the those numbers in: 0000 86 C09
This number is wrong. It is the mazdaspeed 3.5 ones which are too small probably the ones you ordered. So I dunno, there are at least 3 guys that want to get ahold of these that I know of. So we should all work together to find these things.
 
FUCJKKKKJKLLJLKJ . Those are the numbers I gave them and they told me it would be cheaper to get them as the set. So I went ahead and ordered the WRONG set.

I got the info from this thread:
http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=81440&highlight=B32E

Dammit, ok, I am going to talk to them tomorrow about this. I'm pretty sure they are capable of ordering the part for me, they just tricked me into ordering the wrong one. I think the hard part will be convincing them that the computer is wrong in showing them as the same parts. I can already hear them "but the computer says..."

I might be able to get some extra sets and ship them to you guys, but I gotta be damn sure I'm not wasting anymore money first.
 
These are what they got me: 0000-86-C09

They are hella square shaped, and the holes in my bumper are hella circular.
So these ones I got are designed to only fit 03.5 MSP and not any other model? I gotta know what I'm talking about when I go see the dealer. Damn, I just remembered the parts dept. is closed on Sat and Sun. I have to wait till monday to sort this out then
 
yes the ones that u got will only fit the 03.5 lip.
p5, msp(03and 03.5) have the same bumper, the only diffrence is that the 03.5 has a lip that makes the holes smaller, so the p5 and the 03 fogs dont fit cuz there too big and the 03.5 grill wont fit the p5 and the 03 since its too small. but as it was mentioned earlier there are available grills for the p5 and 03 msp which can be ordered from canada
 
Yeah man if you really can get ahold of those bigger fogs(which are a solid closed piece by the way) then let me know cause you could have a lot of happy people sending you money. :) I told them about the two different kinds and like you mentioned they just said to me... "but the computer says there is only one kind" .. and I was like ... yeah.. nevermind.
 
Does anyone like GrillCraft make stuff for us yet? My buddy has an RSX with a GrillCraft grill and foglight fillers and it looks really nice. Great quality.
 
you guys might wanna try mazdastuff.com

someone send an e-mail with the part numbers and see if he can get it for you
 
Yeah, mazdastuff is my dealer, and I'm pretty sure they can order the parts if I just insist on the correct part number. If they will not ship it to you, I could order them for some people, and ship them to you myself. I don't see a reason for anyone to have to cross any borders. Unless there is something about mailing things to canada that I don't know. I'm trying to think of how I can prove to them that these parts are different. Maybe I'll print out the grills from that other thread.
 
i made my own pieces of black sheet plastic to fill in where my fogs went. also drilled the drivers side out to allow some airflow to the CAI.

wasnt too hard to custom cut and mount them.
