'92 4-cyl. Tho I don't think that makes a difference what bumper came from which engine. I have a front GS bumper on my RS, needs to get replaced tho.

keep in mind its "remanufactured" aka used and who knows what condition its in. youd be better off grabbing a painted one from the wreckers if you can color match.

Ahh, color matching has had me screwed for so long. I want a creek blue mica hood and front bumper but it seems like that's the rarest stock colour around. Never seen one at the wreckers.

You're lucky you SEE MX-3s at the wreckers... I've seen 3 in the last 3 years. :(

Seeing an MX-3 at a junkyard is like catching a solar eclipse :mrgreen:

Last time I saw one even 30 miles around my area must have been 4-5 years ago. There's just not enough incentive for wreckers to keep them around, they just end up getting crushed.

I remember I got my windshield from an SE (and had i known more about these cars at the time I would have taken a lot more pieces from the car).

really? theres one like 15 min from my house with atleast 10 mx'3s if not more. they are horribly overpriced thow. the one i goto is about an hour drive and usually has 6 or more mx3's at any given time and has awesome prices. usually the majority of them are that creek mika blue colour too.

i found some halo headlights at the expensive one close by and they guy wanted $150 per side for them lol. they also wanted $400 for a drivers side door which made me laugh in their face and walk out. only thing ive bought from them was a raised rs spoiler i actually got a semi fair deal on.

Vancouver. theres dozens of scrap yards in the area and most of them have 1 or more mx3's. not to mention parts cars pop up on craigslist every month or so. this guy is even selling new bumpers for $150. http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rch/p ... 19998.html that add has been up for like 2 years, im sure you could get one for $100 or less even.

I don't head that way often, but the next time I do I'll definitely pick one of those up. I really want to get some exterior parts that will colour match my car hhaaha

well the supply, price and shipping rates you america folks get for new parts makes up more then enough on the used parts we have up here. parts are on average twice as much up here as they are down there, not to mention most things need to be shipped in because they arnt common stock..

To be honest, most of the things I've bought recently have been used. :lol: Many things I had to buy new, when used would have been WAAAY cheaper. :/
