I'll probably go the same route and put in supplied grills. Never use the fogs, anyway.

Cool, thanks Chris. I didn't realize that the MSP lip was different from the P5, I guess I never really looked close.

I plan on just pulling the fogs out of my P5 bumper...what do you guys think?? I think it's hotness.

Anyone give me pointers on pulling the fogs?

tee hee hee.

take the fogs out...unplug them. there when you look at the housing, there are 3 circles...and on the back of those circles are 10mm nuts. you have to go under the bumper to the backside of the housing. it's a pain. the two on the sides are easy...the one at the top sucks...there's very VERY little room to work. i'd just pop off the bumper if i were you. you'll also see a white plastic piece poking through...that holds the connector for the lights in place...just pop that out to disconnect the fogs.

to pop off the bumper, losen the wheel wells...you'll see two screws going up...take those out. under your headlights (to the side) you'll see a little clip...pop that off. and there are 2 bolts on the back of the air dam under the car...take those off...and get someone to help you pull off the bumper...ta da!

the mAZdasports sticker above the headlamp means he/she is a part of the arizona mazda club. i believe he posts on msprotege.com, but i don't know his screen name

man, I am not crafty when it comes to body work or electrical....those are not my areas...I'm not real gentle with stuff like that. I tend to break all of the little plastic pieces I touch. I just prefer manly metal things like engine pieces!!

you don't really have to pull your bumper allthat far back. there's a how-to for changing foglight bulbs I saw somewhere betweent eh forums, but basically if you scoot under your bumper, you'll see a couple of screws you can remove the get the plastic "shield" out of the way enough to see the back of your foglight. I believ eit takes a 15mm wrench from there. Now there's also a paracket, and I'm not exactly sure how those come out.
