I've been looking at a few options for front bumpers and have been swayed to the side of simple JDM or OEM US mazda options. And because I don't want a fiberglass kit.
I'm leaning towards the Feild break bumper if it fits.

If anyone one has any other sugestions I'd be happy to hear them, but as I said I'd like to stay away from fiberglass.

just do a mp3/p5/msp conversion. oem fit and quality and there's options from there (dg/autoexe lip, msp lip) it may cost a bit, though. do the 01's have the newest headlights?

01-03 are the same... well the 03 have smoke lenses but they are the same other than that... i am lookin for a msp/ mp3/ p5 bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper (i know the p5 wont be the same though, for the rear bumper it will be too short)

not really the best looking kit i have seen, and fiberglass is a pain in the as$!!! usually never fits, because it doesn't like to bend or flex and if you hit something or something hits you hard enough it could crack, and repairing would be very expensive, plus body shops don't like to deal with them. stick to something urethane because it bends and twist all you want and it won't break.

OEM bumper will fit much nicer. You may end spending a lot just to get the bumpers to fit on there correctly. If you want you car to looks like a MSP why not just buy a MSP. Oh look I have one for sale HAHA

he meant that his "CAR" is for sale, he's saying that if you want to look like an MSP why not just buy one... like his (thumb)

No bumper or sides sorry. But the whole car is 8500. It can be yours.

Yeah I think you would be a lot happier with the MSP bumper than the Field Break.
