I'm making the transition from aftermarket fiberglass bumper to OEM 99+ bumper. I thought I had everything I needed, but it looks like I'm missing the bottom part of the air guide.
I bought the air guide new from the dealer, but only the top part was included.
What's the part number for the lower part? Anywhere to buy one online? Is it the same from 93-2002?
Thanks!


I have the top purple part. Don't have the bottom orange part, so the bumper tabs at the bottom of the radiator opening have nothing to attach to.

 

Not sure what the dealer sold you but all airguides I have seen afe one piece

 

Pictures I've seen of the 99 spec rebar show a lower air guide attached to it that looks a lot different than the 93-98 guide.

I know there's a post somewhere with a breakdown of all the pieces to fully do the upgrade, may want to search around some.

The S8 version is just the top half. Supporting the bottom of the bumper mouth is done by the rebar on the S8. You could probably get away with cutting the lower section off an early model air guide at a guess.

The part number for the S8 air guide is F13850A21

Some old pics of my 2002 car when the bumper was off:

 

Ah, thank you
I have the 99+ air guide, so that explains why I don't have the bottom portion
I'll have to grab a 93 style one instead

 

I recently did what you are doing now. I believe only the newer version is available through Mazda. My bumper is extremely secure and I don’t see the reason for the lower air guide if you have the 99 spec rebar.
