Can you buy this from a mazda dealer?

Well I was wondering can you buy a brand new Fd front bumper already painted in vintage red from a dealer? Also if you can how much would it be?

Thanks

Not painted, but you can get the "skin" from Malloy for about 30% less than anyone else.

Other parts optional, and there are PLENTY of other parts in the front end. Don't ask me how I know.

IF you can get one painted I think you would be lucky if it matched. After 10 years and shitty paint to start with the red tends to fade.

My VR paint looks like new - after 11 years. It all depends if you garage your car, how often you wash and wax it, what climate you live in, and if you use a car cover when parked outside.

99% of owners don't take care of their paint - and it shows.

I just had mine professionally polished for the first time last spring and it looks awesome. The body shop guy (that charged me $175.00) remarked that it was some of the best quality paint he had ever seen on a production car.

The come brand new primer gray. About $450 or less. Pretty easy to have a shop paint it for you. That's what I did. The hard part is the new one does not come with the aluminum attachments. You either have to buy new ones ($350+) or drill out the rivits in your old ones. You can get new rivits from Pep Boys or from Mazda.
