Okay, so I want to put a bpt into an SOHC 1.6L MX. What is the best front bumper fascia that will allow me to install the intercooler and keep my a/c evaporator core. I know there needs to be some extra space there and none of the manufacturers mention that. Anybody know? I know for a fact that I can move the whole thing back to accomodate the IC, but I'd like to know which fascia has more room in the back-side. Thanks for the help. BTW visit my metal band's site in you spare time if you like.

you're gonna have to hack up anybumper you get i think, if you want a decent sized intercooler. i went with mazdaspeed because it looks good.

Thanks again. You guys are the masters when it comes to the MX-3. I like the mazdaspeed fascia the best as far as looks, but the B-2 looked like it might have more room. The mazdaspeed unit has more clearance and the last thing I want to do is scrape the road eveytime I have to go across a speed bump or RR tracks!!! I made the really bad mistake of lowering my RX-7 and actually got it stuck on a RR crossing! OUCH!!! I won't do that again.
