So here is the story.... I work at a Mazda dealership (Ontarios Largest) and I was putting some warrenty stuff away when I came across a front lip that was just cracked and really dusty! So I asked my manager who's it was and he had no clue so I asked around and know one claimed it! So my boss said it's ure B-day present! So I went outside and put it up against the bumeper and it came really close except for the sides came up short! So I got it home and 2 days l8r it was on the car! so DONT ask what car it's from cause I have NO clue! but I am trying to find out!
So as some of you may know I am into making 1 off parts and original things! Since I did own the Copper 323! Anyway it fits nice ecpecially in the middle spot and it kinda looks like a dropped JDM front! I will post pics of it once I get it painted here at the dealership next week

You did a good job with that lip. If i had to guess i would say its from a miata. Which is funny cause the other day i drove past a newer miata for sale and was wondering if any of the miata front bumpers would fit the mx3.
from what i have found its an optional lip off of a Miata LS or SE not sure which. 2001-2003 i think i still havnt been able to find where to buy one yet but it looks sharp.

EUREKA!! GOOD JOB! I am the one who works at the mazda dealership and didnt even know that! ahaha ahhh well! anyway if anyone else wants to give it a try it is a nice piece! Looking at the book I got here for old parts it seems to only be $317 from Mazda! so my price with tax and all is only $288!! pretty good I must say!
