Ok I need to rant... I have my own VR curse going on
Wow this is getting ridiculous. Last August my dad backed into my car while it was parked in our driveway. $2500 and a week in the bodyshop. About a month and a half ago some idiot backs into me while I'm waiting behind him in a parking garage. $2500 and TWO weeks in the body shop.

My car has not been out of the body shop for little more than a week and guess what. My dad backs into my car in the driveway AGAIN! I can't even enjoy my car its always in the ******* bodyshop. Stop backing into my car retards!

This one looks pretty bad too.

yeah that sucks, im guessing another 2500 dollar bill, atleast.. I just had mine backed into, needed new grill and bumper and it came out to like 850 I think (luckily it was under the other drivers insurance).

Maybe you should start parking in front of your dad, or get him a bigger rear view mirror haha

He's always back before me at night. He has a Jeep SRT-8 with all the backup sensors and backup cameras yet still manages to do this.

I'm goin to get an estimate today... I'm pretty sure the fasteners and stuff that hold the bumper on are fucked up too or else I'd just order the Mazdaspeed and put it on my self.

Hood isn't that bad it just needs paint.

Mine looks about the same. It drives me crazy to wash the car, then the next day it rains and makes it just as dirty as it was.

Best prices I have found are from www.mazda-parts.com/speed

I have a VR hood I dont need. It has 1 small scratch in the middle near the back.

Why would he wash it if it's going to be at the shop most of the time?

Try living in the midwest and keeping your car clean. There was a tornado yesterday.

VR is apparently an invisible color.

i've had no less than 5 insurance claims (all comprehensive) in less than 2 years.

Just got estimate.

$2200 total. $205 for a front bumper cover and another $485 to install and paint it so going aftermarket or MS isn't really an option.

uh if its thru insurance, and your paying the deductable on it?

I believe you can just order a Mazdaspeed since it is a Mazda part.....
