Help! Wrecked my 8...

Well i was backing out of this long drive way, and i was about to go on the main road, and i started to go in the grass a little bit, and then bam! I hit a freaking fire hydrant. It only really messed up these two pieces of my car, and basically, Can anyone link me to where to buy these parts? or am i going to have to go to an auto body shop and all the ****?

^.....go back to finishline and select accessories...think you mean the areo flares right?

http://www.finishlineperformance.com...me.php?cat=267

Either that or try to find some in the "FS" section. Maybe someone parting out a car?


FYI.................I just ordered two exhaust shrouds last week and if you can wait, I can sell you one of my old ones(which will be in great shape) for cheap. Only reason I am getting new ones is that they are very slightly faded and I'm sooooooooooo ****!

They only allow us to fingerpaint.............wait..............what.... who said that?

Truth is...I probably wouldn't paint them, yuk!
They've been bugging me a little bit and I needed a coil bracket, plus a door switch.............so I threw them in there as I was going to have to pay shipping anyway.

Was going to keep them as a back-up of course, but if some fire hydrant accident guy needs'em....and I can help him keep the cost down.........what the hell.

That aero flare isnn't gonna be cheap for him, unless he can scrounge one up at a junk yard or something.

azpartsexpressonline. Ask for just the rear flares. They have a solid reputation, as far as I can tell...

Woah, Thanks man! these are only 77 bucks compared to the 250 on other websites.. How much do you think it would cost to get them painted?

You think they'd sell me just one instead of the pair? Hahah.

You don't need to get them painted!
They have pretty much every color Just ask for what you want, and what color (and I doubt they'll sell only one lol)

I called them and asked them if they had the black ones, and they said they did go check the ebay store, but i went and checked the ebay store and it wasn't on there.

az partsexpress is notorious for chipping away paint and having lightning yellow underneath dont buy from them theres plenty of threads around showing the chipping at one time they used to have every color but now they paint lightning yellow parts to whichever color you ask and they chip within a few months resulting in a black piece with lightning yellow chips showing through

Confirmed my exhaust shrouds shipped last night, so in a day or two I will be in touch and let you know about shipping you the left one.

Make sure you read the post above this one!
And make sure in your WTB thread, you don't end up with an aero flare that's gonna look like **** in two months.

Added Exhaust Shrouds to my For Sale Thread.

https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...97989#poststop

Don't worry you got dibs, but the pictures are in that other thread. I just like to keep track of most of what I've sold.

Check your PM's as well. I am just now going to send you one.

I have bought the entire appearance package over the past year or two and actually have a scratch on one of the rear aero flares (not the flares fault, was road constructions fault) and there isn't yellow underneath... not sure if he used to do that or not but i can assure you he doesnt anymore. I got the whole set for prob half as much as if I were to go elsewhere... I am in no way affiliated with him i've just had really good experience going there.

ps. if you shoot him an offer thats lower then the buy it now price he will usually accept it... only prob I have with him is that the parts usually take a couple weeks to get to your door but thats negated by the low prices.

just "ask the seller a question" and say you're looking for this part in (insert your color)

for parts, I like ordering from this site because they have the diagrams to locate the parts.

For accessories, like the aeros, finishlineperformance.com is fine.

don't buy from azparts unless you want repainted stuff.

this hardly qualifies as a "wreck"

I've rolled the dice 4 times and came out lucky every time I am not a frequent e-bayer by any means and 9 times out of 10 i will avoid it at any cost... but the price difference is immense and as far as i cant tell they are completely OEM parts.
