Default Mz3 - ms3 lower grille??
i looked in the search and didn't find anything to answer my question now before you all yell at my i did find out that if you want the MS3 bumper you need the fenders and hood i understand that now that leads me to my question. will the MS3 lower front grille insert fit the MZ3 front grille? i want to do the CS license plate relocation but i want to get rid of the holes from the license plate. if im going to replace the grille insert i would like to replace it with the MS3's

Nope, Your SOL. Different size opening. If you want to rock a MS3 grill you gotta rock a MS3. Mazda doesn't make it that easy to bastardize their cars. It's a good thing. No posers.

^ is right. Order a new grill from the dealer and specify them not to drill holes into it. Since you're ordering, why not just order the sky activ front bumper and specify the same thing for the grill? You get a more aggressive looking front end.

Why don't you just bondo the front and get some touch up paint and holes are gone that probably be Max of $30

My plan exactly. Except to paint the whole grille bar black mica or metallic gunmetal. I'm undecided.
