    Interchangeable bumpers 90-94 protege?

    Ive got a 91 Mazda Protege and am looking into putting another front bumper on it because of a new intercooler setup.
    i know this has probably been answered thousands of times but im trying to get things straight.
    I went to the junkyard today and searched for a mazda protege frount lip but there wasn't one. What are all the interchangable bumpers that i can throw on my protege with little to no modificaions?

    I know some have a bumper support with a skin over it, And some have a bumper support and skin all in one. Specify if its one or the other to make things a little clearer. Try to be as specific as you can, I can make red look blue if i stare at it long enough lol.
    Im a noob, help me out my fellow brothers.

      I just cut my bumper and support until I could fit the intercooler. It's kinda ghetto, but I don't care.

                  Im pretty sure escort GTs have two different body styles. I came acrost a gt front lip at the junk yard and put it side by side with a stock lx wagon front lip and they were the same. Ive got an escort GT with the "sportyer" body kit.
                  I heard with the escort front bumpers you also need the lights because of a slight lip on the inner bottom of the light that follows the curve of the bumper. Sooooo unless you want a gap you need lights because the proteges lights are just square. Anyone have pics of mixed and matched lights with bumpers? Like escort gt bump with protege lights. Or stock escort bump with protege lights.

                  that Isuzu Stylus lower section looks awsome haha. i like.

                    lol thanks

                    Escort GT only has one style front bumper for the BG chassis, you may be thinking of the Mercury Tracer, they have a front lip on the bumper.

                    People have modified the Protege/323 grill and lower headlight trim to fit the Escort bumpers btw, looks good from far, but far from good in my mind lol.

                      I think I've seen the raised section removed from the Escort bumper. That's the route I'd go if I wanted to use one on a Protege.

                        And here we have his ugly cousin, you can see the escort gt front grill and the bp05 snug as a bug. There is pink spral gt rims on the other side (can't see them), Full gt interior in red trim, escort gt badges... my guess its a escort gt lol.
                        I know im like wtf aswell never saw one like this. but the interior is identical.


                        Ill figure something out thanks for the advice.

                          I see it all the time. Escort Lx bumper replacement. Gt's that get damage often get Lx bumpers as replacements if a GT one isn't easily found or if GT ones cost more...

                            The whole body kit is different, not just the bump
