Here's the pic of the base and the pic of the r3 on the site. I think you're right it's a front bumper but when I was clicking back and forth they look identical except for the corners (you can tell more on the left side).

Completely agree they're not that much. I'm guessing Mazda is just charging that much to ensure the R3 is unique. I wanted a loaded up GT with the wheels. That's why I asked.

Thanks!

Options are really limited. Can only get beige interior on maybe one color and only red interior if you get black. Also no blue exterior color of any kind? No spoiler unless you get the R3 trim?

Visually there aren't much difference between the regular front bumpers and the R3 version. There's a little air dam piece under the body as well.

Now I realize what you meant is to use the R3 front on the new non-R3 car. That should work with no issues - those headlights are the same of course.
You mentioned Mazdaspeed, so I thought you mean to use the existing MS front on the 2009 - that's why I wrote that the headlights have a different shape.

In the video you can click buttons , like in the static pages, that then take you to otehr video bits describing the car

I like that, but it's still showing 2008 models vs the 2009

R3 Wheels = Acura TL Type S Wheels. Yuck.

The Acura TL Type S wheels look nothing like the R3 wheels. The TL Type-S wheels are basically Weds wheels.

See? They look almost nothing alike.
