Buy the parts new from Mazda, they are cheaper than you think and the repair will be better. The FD front end has an extremely tight fit with bumper, headlights, hood and fender.

On the advice of Turbo Jeff I called Ray @ Malloy about OEM sheet metal pieces. Wow, good call Jeff! The pieces ARE inexpensive. Much better than hacking up another car. In the future, if you damage your FD, definitely consider buying new OEM metal.
