Hello. I have a 94 touring with fog lights. My front bumper is sagging a little in the middle which I guess is common. After further inspection around the inlet it looks like some of the fasteners are missing. I've been studying the diagrams online to figure out what parts I need but I cannot find a drawing that matches exactly what I have.

I'm missing two middle plastic screws and the rectangle pieces that mount upwards from the opening (last pic shows one of the existing I removed). There are four of these total.

Plus two of the fasteners and triangular mounts that fasten downwards from the opening. Picture two and three. There are three of these total.

Hopefully the pictures can show what I'm explaining. Appreciate any help!

 

Is it these?

the 3 lower ones are NA01-50-101A, they are like $1 each
the top ones are the BF82-50-233. this one is cheap from Mazda, but also findable aftermarket

 

Thanks for the help! Very much appreciated.

 

I have these

 

Sorry I missed this. I already went and ordered. Thanks though.

 

The mystery deepens. I went to use the plastic fasteners (BF82-50-233) that go in to the top portion of the opening and they won't seat properly for the middle two holes. The outer two holes have those exact fasteners in place. I took a look inside the bumper from under the hood and there is a bracket that has two threaded cage nuts to receive a bolt. Could this be part of a license frame bracket or something? Definitely not what I was expecting. I found a bolt with the right threading but I need a (rectangular) washer to make it seat properly. Trying to stay as close to stock as possible which is why I'm asking if anyone has see this before. Appreciate any help!


Looking down into bumper from under the hood

Looking up from opening through plastic bumper flange to see threaded nut. Greenish glow is the light hitting the fiberglass.

 

looking at the parts catalog, https://foxed.ca/rx7manual/manuals/p...203%20BODY.pdf
there are two of those BF82 clips, and then the license plate bracket uses the two center holes.
weirdly the JDM cars look like they do something else and those two center holes are just open? https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-c.../exterior/5000

 

Appreciate the response. I looked at the parts diagram for the front bumper and could see the two bolts referenced with the license plate bracket but wasn't sure what went there when bracket is not installed. Maybe nothing as you mentioned with the JDM version? I'll make some rectangular washers out of the extra plastic fasteners I have and find two bolts that fit. Thanks again.

Curious if anyone else with stock front bumper without the license plate bracket has anything in the center two holes?

 

There should just be plain 10mm bolts with a washer or captive washer to keep it tight there.
