Hey folks,

I let my teenager drive my RX (big mistake!) Needless to say, my car returned to me with major damage to the front valance, fender wells, and all support assemblies. I have no Mazda dealer within 45 miles.

Any suggestions for reputable sources for replacement parts?

Thanks

 

did he say he hit a cat? If so, throw out the B.S. flag
damage to fenders and support assemblies? WTF did he hit?

why not file it through insurance? The cost will likely exceed your deductable

 

Maybe it was this cat

 

^lawl!!!!

 

lol frikin punks

 

Should have got a Land Cruiser.



No seriously contact mazmart, they should be able to fix you up. www.mazmart.com

 

For used parts but good shape parts I just found these people www.partsgroup.com Only rx8 and miata parts.

They have EXTREMELY good prices and are very helpful. The website inventory might not have what you're looking for, just give them a call and ask.

 

pics?

 

As usual, You guys rock! Good ideas and yer right on the BS flag. That 's exactly where I went with it. Thanks for the possibilities. I'll check 'em out!

 

what did he really hit then?

 

Well, he stuck by his guns . . . said it was a big cat . . . guess like the one above.

Mazpart had an engine bottom shroud at a good price. That was cool. Still need to find the trim piece between the bumber and the shroud. (whatever it is called)

 

Pics of pieces?

 

We were all teens at one point
Think maybe teen was having a little to much fun and just lost control - Simple--

Big cat???? haha I could have thought of 100 better excuses then that. Like a deer ran out in front of me

Kids kids kids Good Luck with the fix

 

post up pics and ill tell ya what actually happened... im 17 and i know the dumb **** we do. lmao

 

Yeah, I was a kid once! (who am I kiddin, I drive an RX-8! Still must have some kid in me) . . . anyway sorry no pics, I started my own fiberglass bandaid on the lower shroud before I took any pics . . . wouldn't show much now. I'll remember better next time.

Thanks again folks!

 

shouldnt there be blood everywhere then?

 

a big cat?


you might be able to find the parts here on the forums.

 

well speaking of teens doing stupid stuff...
i was dropping my friend off, i see a group of middle schoolers and two of them were pushing each other. so i started to look at my mirror to see if its a fight. all the sudden BAM! SCREECH!
yes I hit the fking curb... scratched the hell out of my rim. again... from the looks of it, it doesn't look bad , but i think its time to get new rims and pay more attention to where im going and not to some idiot kids... Y_Y
