I might be wrong, but i have heard that you can use the front bumper made for a 92-95 civic on a second gen escort. It does however need some modifaction.

Corksport.com sells a bumper for the Mazda Protege, which fits the escort. it is called the evo 3 and sells fro $381. I belive this is a direct fit

The Civic bumpers are not identical to Escort bumpers, however, they are similar. This means that any aftermarket kit you get for a Civic that you want to put on an Escort will need to be modified (mounting points, wheel wells, headlight and grill area, etc); how much you will be charged is up to the body shop you get to do the work. Get at least 3 different quotes from reputable body shops before you get anyone to do it.

1991-1996 Escorts have identical bodies. Any kit designed for a 91, 92, 93, 94, or 95 will fit on a 96.
