I need to get a new front bumper so was wondering if anyone has any idea of how many after market bumpers are out there.

I'm not sure if that's right... the hood, grille, and front bumper are quite different between the speed3 and mz3 hatch or not.

i know the hood sits higher, its 1 inch taller, but doesnt it come down to the same spot?

The regular 3 hatch has the about half of the grill incorporated into the hood (just based on what I've seen with pictures) whereas the hood for the speed is more of a... standard hood, and the grill lies entirely in the front fender. Look at where the lines meet on the headlights.

I just don't see how it would work out with the lines being so different.

so the sideskirts and rear will fit, not the front bumper..

I wouldn't assume that the skirts or rear bumper would fit either. The fenders are more flared on the mazdaspeed...
