Welcome to the forum!
Im looking to upgrade my grill too.


But for the festiva grille the festiva store sells several styles. On the website here: http://www.thefestivastore.com/
And on their facebook page this is the cover photo. Several styles there as well.
Mine is stock, so hopefully others will post their photos of some of these installed.

Here are a couple photos i have saved of some different grille styles.
Only one of these (the jdm aero grille i think its called) fits the festiva headlights. The rest involve using the 121 headlights as well.

None of your pictures there have an Aero Grille though haha.

There are 2 "Easier" to find versions of the Mazda 121 Grille, and Ryan linked them both. One is "early model" and one is "Late model".

These come from Europe and Austrailia, and are considerably rare in the US. Expect to pay $300-450 for that setup.

Then, on the flip side, you have the 2 stock Grilles in the US: The straight bar Carby grilles (88/9) and the bumped EFI Grilles (90-93)."

Here is an example of each.





A common Mod is to take an 88/9 grille and cut out the center bar, and add mesh behind it, giving a larger opening. This is what is in Ryans first picture. Here is another example.



There is also ways to make your own if you have fiberglass skill. I have seen one grille made by combining a stock grille with an Escort grille, and an Escort GT grille.

There are a whole host of different options if you are willing to import Kia Pride grilles and lights from overseas, but again, you are looking at $100+ just in shipping charges.

I can upload a photo of the Aero grille when I get home.

I am just happy with a NOS grille.
My grille was F2BZ-8200-D, green.
There are still two more available on Rear Counter.
I don't know what the other two 1992 model year colors are.

That's a Mazda 12 1 grille and headlights, and an ATH style front bumper.

Another front end treatment

I cut out the original Ford emblem and glued in a larger one from a Ford truck. I didn't need all of that air flow. I also installed a rear bumper cover from a Aspire for ground effects/less air flow and to cover up the fuel pump/battery.

Should be noted that mine is a purpose built drag racer were cooling airflow isn't that critical.

Not really a "grill mod" but I chopped the center bar out of an early factory grill and added driving lights.

Definitely a grille mod! The cheap and effective ones are the best.
