Question my car was hit...again :(

To make a long story short i got hit on the side a couple of days ago. It got ascratch and dented on the quarter panel on top of the rock protector sticker (look at the pic) I was able to buff it out and push the dent out but i was wondering if mazda sells the piece of sticker shown on the pic.??

thanks in advance!

thats basically clear bra so if mazda doesnt sell it you can go to a store and buy a piece and cut it to fit ... i would recommend putting it back on though coz that place is prone to chips

They sell the clear piece. But I believe you have to buy both. Not positive. And I know that they are not cheap.

sorry to read you got hit again.

and if you were to buy 3m clear film then you'd have to cut it perfectly to match. IIRC someone took theirs off and it left like a silhouette or something.

Mazda sells them but they are like 80 bucks. Go to your local body shop and have them cut one for you. They should have some clear bra laying around

i took all of that off. all mine did was start to collect dirt around the edges and was impossible to get it clean as possible. it didn't take much at all to clean off the residue and now it looks much cleaner. it is all personal preference though. to me, it is worth the risk of getting a rock chip.

yeah that would be nice, you should do a subtle two tone, not a high contrast like most people get,,, maybe a satin silver and white or something,,, when you wanna start planning it out let me know and I can photoshop some stufff,,,
