Mx-3 a bumber car?

Post by gmuffb »

So at my work(car lot) there's a rather large paved hill where we park the trucks that are for sale. My boyfriend parked a truck right on top of the hill and forgot to put the break on! Amazingly the path that the truck decided to roll was directly into my passenger side of my car! Now I have an even more compact, compact car! And he's had a very large head ache since it happened thanks to me! :mad:

Nice pics of the car on your site! How did you get your tail lights to look tinted like that? That is sweet!

MX-TC you like the tinted tail lights? I haven't posted in the sell/trade forum yet. But I had tinted mine and now I've just replaced them with Altezza's. <BR>Stay posted if you're interested. I'll prolly post this weekend for everything else that I have to sell.<P>BTW gmuffb, I hope that you and your man work it out and don't let that be a hit in the side of your relationship. :D <P>one

Lil-law, go price the parts that i'm gonna need. Hood $200, headlight $250, paint work $500 to $1000, straighten core support $400, not to mention the labor(another few hundred) plus all the other small crap they have to do (emblem's, bulbs, etc). I'd get used parts, but they're impossible to find.

gmuff... My friend driving my car hit a deer last night, and the left side of my hood looks almost identical. I can truly say "I feel your pain." I may be taking this opportunity, however to get a Carbon Fiber hood, if the body shop wants too much to fix it. Where did you price a hood @ 200 dollars though? May be much cheaper to buy a new one and put it on myself.<P>-T

Yeah I guess your right, I was just saying it don't look like much, I wasn't saying that your getting ripped off or anything. Didn't mean to offend sorry.

Local Mazda dealership, they have to order it, and that's wholesale price. I work at a car lot, that's why i can get that price, your price shouldn't be much more. It would probably be worth your while to call your local dealership though! Let me know how you make out w/that. Sorry bout your bambi incident, i almost hit a buck in the rental this morning, could've been deadly! you're lucky that's all it did though.
