i will be able to tell you exactly what it cost in a few weeks. i will also be able to tell what it would cost for oh say, a grill, lights, fog lights(199 a piece), hood, fender and some braces in engine bay. by the way lets say, hypatheticly of course, some lady decided to stop in the middle of the highway and start a four car pile up and messed up a lot of your parts, namely the ones that are only on the mp3 version, where would they get parts. would they have to come from japan or are there any in the states. also how long do yall think it would take, hypetheticly of course.
Well, My MP3 is parked outside a body shop in Central PA awaiting parts. Got tagged last week while down on business in Hershey by a Nissan Altima that came down an exit ramp 100 yards away from the side road I was pulling out of. Damage includes left fender, strut, rim (winter steelie), front of the driver's door, front grill, headlight, bumper cover and actual bumper ram. Total $6438.00. :mad:
I'm driving a rental Chrysler Sebring with a slushbox
For the next couple weeks until the parts come in. Hope the drivetrain didn't get hurt!

Check this out guys...This guy bought a wrecked MP3 and is making a race car out of it and is selling the Fog lights. Should be able to get them cheaper than stock. http://www.protegeclub.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3305

it's all good, my mazda dealer was like speedy gonzales, dropped the car off tuesday and today I pick it up. only took this long cause they had to call mazda to order the bumper, the computer said it was B/O. they wanted to put a p5 bumper (only diff is the P5 side markers) but I wanted to keep it a lean green mp3 machine.
so total is under a grand U.S. And that's mostly because I'm a picky person and asked that they replace the right headlight which was just slightly damaged. Very minor frame damage as far as I can tell (3mm skew from left to right), or, could be that the hood lock needs fixing. fogs are OK, new upper grill, and I asked for a switch to synthetic mobil 1 oil.
My dealer is real paranoid, they absolutely asked me to pick up the car today. Turns out the last time they kept an mp3 in the lot,
1) sound system got stolen
2) mazda 2-20 orders new sound system
3) while waiting for sound system to arrive, mags get stolen
Needless to say I would have been not a happy ******* camper if this happened to me. Actually I got lucky, 2-20 in DDO got their MP3s a little later than the other 2-20 dealers in Montreal. So when I started really complaining at the late delivery of the car, they had one driven down from there (hence the 40km on the odometer).
Overall I must admin their service is pretty good.
Thanks all for the input, I'll let you know if they really did a good body job or not.
