The front bumper is the same on the P5 and the Mazdaspeeds (I'm assuming you want the Mazdaspeed front lip since you specified 03.5). The only thing you need is to find someone selling a lip, which mounts over the front bumper. Then get the smaller fogs or the fog deletes for the lip (good luck).

Yeah that's what i figured, but like protege5smoke said the hard part might just be finding someone to sell the lip to me

Yes you need to be Johnny on the spot when someone posts they are parting out there 03.5 speed. The lips are usually the first things people ask for.

Search "Mazda speed" www.iaai.com its an auction network. The condition photos are usually fairly good. Found a few msp's in current runs for minimum bid ( 100$ ). Depending where you are, you might find one near you. But you might notice lips are gone off most of them ( front end collisions) .
For us Canadians I recommend impact.ca

All I can say is to keep up with the marketplace section on the forum, a lip pops up for sale every once in a while. I don't know anyone currently selling one, but I know forum member Jperera is a vendor here and breaks down a lot of cars so he may be able to find one for you. He's also on FB, JP Parts International. I have to give him credit, I bought a ton of parts from him and his service is top of the line.

Hate those fog lights huh?
Ray Crowe is the go-to guy for hard to find OEM RX-7 parts. He may be able to find you that lip. Ray is the parts manager at a Mazda dealer on the east coast (Malloy Mazda) and specializes in FD3S stuff, which, like MSP parts are made of Unobtainium. I've never hit him up for anything other than Rotary stuff, but maybeeeeee
....send him an email and see if he can help. (drinks)
