I’ve been shopping for one since the car went to the body shop. It’s been at the body shop for 2 years now, and bumpers aren’t getting any cheaper... :/ Why are these so expensive/hard to find?

Are they really that much ? There’s got to be a someone parting an NC out locally for less for that... Or a junkyard?

Junkyards are all in that range or more, aftermarket ones are still expensive and don't give me everything I need (little bits and bobs), and I've yet to find an NC part out near me.

You could buy 0 .78 Paseos in acceptable condition for that price.

I vote you give it an NA front clip.

It’s an automatic GT PRHT with low miles... I’m aiming to get some resale out of it.

Rats.

Do you fit in the NC any better than the first gen? I've never actually been in an NC

Oof. Can you hit up the Mazda Motorsports network? Those guys get decent discounts on parts.

It’s a little roomier. I still had to foamectomy the seat and modify the seat rails, but it still has seat rails... Those had to go bye-bye in my NA. The NC doesn’t get enough respect. I sold my NA after driving this one, and it’s an automatic!

I have a Pontiac Solstice front bumper if that helps
