Just joined the mazda community. Have some questions about my mazda!

Hey guys, i've got an '05 Mazda 3 Sport GT Hatch. Which has been in the accident (not too bad tho). I like the car and already have some big plans for it.

Im fairly new to the Mazda community (you can ask me anything about Honda tho ;) ). So here are my questions (i've looked for them in search but didnt find anything after 20 min of browsing) :

- Are the front bumpers for the '05 sedan and '05 hatch the same? Meaning would a sedan bumper fit my hatch? because im really stuck with finding one for the hatch except getting it from a dealer (which is kinda unreasonably overpriced)

- Are the fenders for '05 sedan and hatch the same or different?

- How do you remove the OEM sideskirts on the '05 mazda hatch? Is the only way to take 'em off the clips is to break the clips?

- Are the parts such as radiator support/ washer fluid tank/ reserve coolant tank the same for all '05 mazdas?

Sorry if thats too much but i've tried to be brief here. Appreciate any help with those.

All i can say is Sedan and Hatch are totally different...Theres some parts that might be actually the same..maybe the emblem? Lol..

Clips should.... well.... unclip. Shouldn't have to break.

I believe the engine stays the same yes.

hey i'm from winnipeg, and yes the hatch and sedan r diffrent, the bumper on the hatch goes up between the headlights and grille , where as the sedan runs straight across under the headlights but if u wanna get a good used bumper for a fair price checkout action auto. i believe they r on day street

oh and yes the fenders r the same only thing really diffrent on the front is the bumper hood and grille
