Nope, I found them on ebay.co.uk The seller had "eunos" and "roadster" ones, he sold mostly mx-5/miata parts.
2 new parts for me
1. eunos/euro front bumper support; courtesy of SuperK
2. B-pillar bar ; courtesy of JWMX3
stock support (top) vs. euro (bottom)
What a difference having the right part (euro support) makes when fitting a eunos front bumper cover
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
both fender-to-bumper gaps line up perfect, fog lights aligned perfect, tow hook fits perfect...it's almost like the two parts were made for each other; ie factory
In case anyone was wondering
Stock / USDM bumper support:
11lbs
2.4oz
Euro / Eunos bumper support:
6lbs
11.2oz

wow the car is looking phenomenal! I really like how the hybrid altezzas look...
Also I've updated the thread here with your weights in the differences in the USDM/Euro front bumper support:

Hey I just picked up an MX3... I'm from the Allentown area as well. What the heck is that rear window spoiler(?) thing? I've seen it on a few cars.

Near the top of the hatch is a oem rear hatch shade. Corksport makes FG replicas.

I like that tiebar! Let us know how well it works, and whether it bottoms out.
