There's a whole thread on ClubRoadster listing all of the available NB bumpers. Once you have the name, finding the bumper shouldn't be that bad.

Holy crap! That was my friends car. He inherited it from his 80ish year old father who built it.

He just sold it a couple of weeks ago.

Actually the Predator extreme and the hardtop Miata look pretty good to me.

It's "black" and "carbon fiber" (after Tuesday's impulse buy), and has blue on the wheels, if that helps.

I once refused to sell someone an '83 Z28 after learning that they planned on turning it into a fake Ferrari. You're welcome.
