vendor for 99 front bumper

I'm looking for a place online that I can buy the 99 front bumper, but there's a catch, I want it without the license plate box. I don't think they ever came from mazda like that so I assume a replica is my only option, or could it be shaved off the factory piece?

I'll accept a replica as long as it's very high quality, please post any links you may have.

Thanks.

SOme have shaved it, but its so not worth the cost.

This is $550 off their site, but it doesn't come with the lights, lip, or rebar (to make the lights fit).

Check this out. Its an aftermarket piece. I like that this one has the lower lip molded on and that the front mouth is larger than the stock one.

RotaryExtreme was the only one who was going to do this... unfortunately he wanted all the money up front before he made the part, and nobody (understandably) was going to go for that.

I'd even settle (or even prefer) one done in that new, flexible hybrid fiberglass that C-West and INGS are using... someone just needs to find the resin.
