mp3 or p5 stock bumpers
 
Looking for stock MP3 or Protege5 bumpers. Any color preferably white and preferably the wagon bumpers.

^^ for what car.. a 2000 Protege? The rear bumper would be of no use, the P5 is a handful of inches shorter and all in the rear bumper area.

As for front bumper, you'd want the MP3 over the Protege5 bumper because the P5 bumper has an additional reflector/light that isn't needed on the sedan. Alas, not available in white.

You'll also need the fender splash guards (both sides), bumper support beam (the steel part with the styrofoam over it), and of course the lower AND upper grilles. --but of course if you're doing this on a 00 Protege it'll be a lot of custom work to get the front bumper to fit with your headlights so I'm sure you knew that already ;)

yea i did, thanks for giving me that info about the rear bumpers cuz i was told different elsewhere. i want the dg motorsports lip and grill which is y i want the wagon bumpers, those parts are for the wagon. would those parts fit on the mp3 bumpers?

yeah the actual bumper cover between the Mazdaspeed Protege, Protege MP3, and Protege5 is the same. On the Protege5, they cut holes in the side to install orange reflector lights since the Protege5 headlamps don't include those.

The DG lip and grille will fit great with the Protege5 bumper but it is a lot of work to get the bumper to fit with your 1999-2000 headlamps.

wouldnt it be more cost effective(and look just as good), to get a sport20 bumper and modify a dg lip to fit it ?

_Kansei_ December-6th-2007 11:05 PM

basically, but it's a much more common look.

Actually with pretty minimal modding the 01-03 DX/LX/ES lip fits on the sport20 bumper. Saw a dude from Maryland who did it.

It's the upgrade route everyone takes. Kinda like with the 01-03 everyone seems to go for the MSP/MP3 bumper because it looks nice. Not saying it's a bad thing. Also fitment on the sport20 bumper won't be perfect without sport20 lights.

It's pretty darn good though...you know I used to have a 2000 with the sport 20 right ?

this is my car from the 2005 southeast mazda meet

nice.

it's the fender gap that kills me with that bumper. the one I saw in md had the sport20 headlamps as well just not the fenders I think. the headlights didn't perfectly fit the fenders but the bumper was able to be raised up to fit better.
