You can get new lights, but I think u'll also need NB8B wheel arch splash guards. Okibi could shine in on this.
edit:
The NB8B bar uses different inner wheel trims and has a different main fastner on the sides.

SE front bumper on a NB8A
The SE bumper comes from the NB8B, so no it won't fit the NB8A unless you change the headlights.

The SE bar is an NB8B with a stick on lip.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

you could always source the NB8B lights, and spray the inside backing of them black.. it's been done before.

Bumper is about $300, dunno the cost of the inner wheel trims, headlights will cost $600+ you could also get the connector the NB8A bumper uses at the sides as it's different to the NB8A one.

Also, for everyone worrying about getting the specific HB4 connectors for the NB8B headlights, don't bother. Just crimp on a couple of spade connectors...
At least that's what the experts at the mazda dealer I last went to for a service did, to 'fix' an electrical fault that was causing me to blow headlight globes at an alarming rate (2 or 3 weeks per globe)
The fix didn't fix the problem, but the spade connectors work quite well...
