Just packed up all my stuff and getting ready to head back home from college. Came outside to the parking lot to realized my car got hit and run. Sad sad day

ugh, sorry to see that bro

 

Did they have any security cameras?

Look on the bright side... if you have insurance, this may be a good excuse to get yourself an R3 front bumper.

 

^ That or an AutoExe. Looks like some damage done to the fender and light too.

 

Bastards. Few things **** me off more. I still can't believe people won't leave a goddamn note.

 

I would check with campus security about cameras. Some peoples kids. Sorry it happened.

 

Yeap I filed the report already waiting for the case to get approve by the police. If insurance does cover the replacement, I want to see if they are willing to get a MS bumper :D.

Some minor scuffs to the headlights but no damage to the fender.

 

You'll have to do more than the bumper to fit an Mazdaspeed front bumper to a Series II RX-8 like yours. Anyway, at least you didn't cause the damage as I did with mine.

 

If you mean MZ then no, i strongly doubt they will get you a mz bumper and ship it from japan for like 3k+ LOL

yeah i started a thread back when i had an S2. It should still be on the first or second page on the SII exterior section, nobody ever makes threads in the SII section lol.

in order to make it fit you will need to:

Modify fenders to accept the new bumper
Modify bumper to accept the new headlights
hood is the same on a S2 as S1.

That in itself wont be easy, not to mention any mounting challenges that go along with the bumper.

You are looking at 300-500 just in fitment. I DO NOT recommend buying a oem mazdaspeed S1 front bumper. The only reason people buy oem mazdaspeed is because they know its a direct fit and they dont have to deal with paying someone to fit it.

You will be paying around $2.5k for a oem bumper if not more after its all said and done. I want to say around 1-2k for a replica mazdaspeed bumper.

BUT DONT WORRY... it looks like those foglights are still working... which means there are a handful of people on rx8club who have been trying to get a set used for a few years now without any luck. They should fetch a pretty penny.

If your not looking to get yourself into all of that hassle.... just get the autoexe front bumper.

 

I hate those people when they don't care about other peoples property! They just leave the scene without thinking if they did the right thing or not...argggggg!!!

 

Do you think the perp had a trailer hitch?

 

I just went to one of the shops and they told me insurance might not cover it since it doesn't look like it was hit by someone but rather I hit something. Such bullshit
