Exhaust Shroud Gnomes

These guys have been at it again:


Only this time, they've taken my right side exhaust shroud...

Pulled into my carpark today and noticed it was simply missing! No broken tabs or anything on the rest of the bumper, so I don't have any idea why it isn't there. I retraced my route that I drove tonight to see if it had fallen off, and couldn't find it (I didn't retrace my trip north from SD to LA, though, for obvious reasons)


Anyway, got any suggestions where I can get a new or used one, for cheap?
Are there any aftermarket pieces that bolt on as exhaust shrouds? Not looking to replace the whole bumper, just curious if I can upgrade to anything while I shop around.


Help me out!

Step 1: Steal exhaust shrouds
Step 2:
Step 3: Profit!


Nothing really out there that replaces that piece that is cheaper than just the piece. You can check the for sale forums for anyone parting out a car, mazmart sells used and new parts, or search google for online mazda parts (first link) if you can't get a used one. Looks like its about 40 bucks new.

**** it, for ~$40, I'll just get another stock one. I imagined them being more expensive, glad they're cheap.

Thanks for the link!


I was interested in the ings+1 rear pieces, but would look out of place on my otherwise stock body, and $$$. Likewise for the Mazdaspeed rear.

That would be great, any idea where I can get them cheap? Don't have to be OEM, or even painted (unless they're already galaxy gray, which seems unlikely).
