Holy Jesus, Mazda Parts Are Expensive!!
Hood Liner - $169.73 (This is close to what I expected)
Cowling (sp.) for front grille vents - $261.03
OMG! For two little freakin' plastic grilles?!!!
Anyone have any idea where I could get either of these things away from a dealership's parts division?
I'll fabricate my own goddam vents for going on $300 after tax.

Mazda will ask you to come in *** FIRST. Dont buy from them unless you have too. Search the net or buy used. There are lower prices. Email mazdaformance. They usually have it a little cheaper than Mazda will.

Just in case it matters to you, some people (if not just me) are offended by the casual use of the name of Jesus. But I do believe that if Jesus was living in body on this earth today, He would drive an RX-7!
Not the right forum for this, but ------ why is it that, although freakin' is more popular and acceptable than Jesus, we feel free to use the name of Jesus but not the real name for freakin'? Don't get me wrong, I think freakin' is better than driving my 7 (it's not modified!).

For the grills post something in the parts for sale section that you're looking for them. Or look for those people parting out FD's. I am sure someone might have some. 261.00 is a rip off..

that follows though. i asked a mazda service rep about one sitting outside...he said, and i quote "you have to be a rocket scientist to afford the maintenance".
yeah you do...if you go to mazda!

Yeah, that's almost as big a rip-off as:
new carpeting: $1200 - Gmonsen got Mercedes quality carpeting custom made for $900-$1000
oil metering pump: $1400 - covered by warranty, I bet my warranty company loved that one!

Passenger
Posts: n/a
here are the parts I replaced in the last 2 months...
Coolant over flow...$125.00
Drivers side door handle $212.00
Upper radiator hose $32.00...(Its a freakin hose!)
Lug nut 6.95
Parts I need....
Headlight cover passenger...80.00
drivers side window switch 209.00
I need the clamp that holds the cargo liner down on the passenger side cause mine broke, dealer said I have to replace the entire cargo liner at $177.00.
Bushings...75.00 to 90.00 EACH depending on what kind.
When I complain about the prices each time I order something they say "Dude, You drive an RX-7"
If mazda knew how much money they were going to make off the parts they never would stop selling the car here, LOL.
