Redneck P5 VS guardrail

[rednecks_r_us]

You know that part in the Dukes of Hazzard theme song where is says some day the mountain might get'm but the law never will?

Mingus Mountain on Highway 89A has 158 curves in a 12 mile stretch.
Mingus Mt took a bite out of my left front fender.

I was in a 180 left curve then a quick 90 degree right. As I was in the apex of the right curve I hit washboards (ripples) in the road and lost traction and bounced into the guardrail with my left headlight.

So far it looks like I took out my left headlight, left fog, left fender, left fender support, radiator support, lower grille, and the front bumper.

Not to mention having to redo my custom paint up front. Laser blue Mica with blue pearl and the black with blue mica stripes.

I'm price shopping. We have a clubmember that works for Jim Click Mazda in Tucson who gives us a great discount. Avondale Mazda is also an official sponsor of Arizona Mazda Club.

They guy that did my paint job is going to redo my car and I get parts at his cost.

So between Revenant ( on here) at Jim Click, Avondale Mazda and CVT Auto Care I'm hoping to get parts cheaper.

I have also left a message with protege garage.

What PIAA lights fit in the P5 front end? I'm also planning to get a MSP bumper to get rid of those ugly marker lights.

So much work put into the car . Nice to see you having a positive outlook. Glad the rims are okay, such a rare rim (and the people, of course ).
