My turn. I hit a raccoon tonight. Not as severe, though; permanently dislodged the driver's side of the lower air dam. Between that, a squirrel chewing on it, and the crack in the middle, I think it's high time I start looking for a new front bumper. Recommendations?

Looking around at prices, I'm getting sticker shock. It seems that options are slim for a fair deal. I may try seeing what I can repair / replace of it this weekend instead. Failing that, I might bite the bullet on the MS one. Is Mazda the only place to get them other than 2nd hand?

Make an insurance claim, maybe? I've done this twice before, sadly.

lol almost 3000 i want it too but i dont think that they actually make it anymore...

masked check out the corksport MS replica its really a quality piece I just didnt want it because it has no room for side markers

Masked be aware... I've read that the MS Front is too low for AutoX and Tracking if your car is lowered more than 2 inches I think.. But if the suspension is real stiff your ok Topgear races his 8 with the MS front and hes running bilstein PSS9's which I will pick up eventually or the Stance GR coilover system

Well it looks like the ms is out of the question from the dealership so who else has a good replica? I looked at the cork sports one and im not really digging the silver and such.
