I went to Mazda in Akron,OH today... my best friend is a head service guy and in charge of the aftermarket parts store there. I had them look the car over and they are replacing the front and rear bushings. They are also purchasing a new rear lip and getting it painted Titanium and will install it. My current lip now sags and thus, it is touching my hot exhaust and looks like hell. Most of you know my car has just about every mod out there. They did not say a thing, but knowing someone there helps. I think the entire workstaff there came out to see the car.... I guess they don't get a lot of MSP's there. Of course it got a bath too (thumb).
It is all getting done while I am in town for my bachelor party in mid October.

Nice! I have to fix my rear lip too! I was gonna do it myself but maybe I can just get it covered under warranty. Hopefully my dealer is as cool as yours.

Park Mazda on Arlington. Its just over the top of the hill if you take 77 South to Arlington. Its on the left. My buddy is Seth and is usually at the front counter near the aftermarket performance shop. If you are not stock, don't say anything about your parts, and don't ask if they can 'hook you up'... lol. I said hardly anything :).

The dealer should definitley cover it!! The way I see it, you have a fairly new car with the fuckin' bumper falling off.....it's an '03 Mazda, not an '85 Cadillac.

I have a modded suspension, an exuahust that probably moves/rattles much more than stock because it is so damn heavy (hangs way low). The tip of the exhaust actually hits the rear lip. I dunno, for as much as it is going to cost to buy the lip and paint it and pay to put it on... I could have gotten screwed. The bushings are known to be bad, but the MELTED lip resing on my 3" exhaust... I was happy to get that one covered!

my dealer is the same way. this is how my warranty goes "So long as you return here for scheduled service then the warranty remains. We replace only stock parts though"..thsu my bushings again, my rear lip, my sub/amp, my deck all just this week..lol.
