Talking What is this part (HOOD) and what purpose does it serve?
No idea what this does? But I'm trying to bring the car back to stock (clean) as possible. See the green arrows

Hope you don't mind me using it. I'll try the dealer as they still make every part for our cars.

Yep, I bought those new a few years back for my car. You will also need some pop clips that hold them in place, also available new.

Ooo and this retainer clips are pretty universal , almost the same for all Jap cars , check you eBay, you can buy 100 for like 5$ shipped .

I can tell you they are pretty damn identical to OEM, I mean you can found thousand in junkyards.

It's easier now that the flames of hell melted all the great white snow.

Oh man, if only. Lots of little parts for these cars are no longer available from Mazda.
