Hey I came out of class today to see my car like this. Now I have to get a new bumper. Can anyone help me out? I don't care what color it is I just need a new one fast. My deductible is 500 and I don't want to put it through my insurance. Any help would be awesome. Thanks guys

Refinanced the ms3 today. Had zero credit when i bought it and got ***** on the interest. 7months of payments later, and i got approved for a 6% lower rate and 5 months knocked off the length of the loan. Wohoo!!!

Patrick, thats terrible. People suck

 

[pmartz16]

I'm pissed but I feel like I can find a bumper cheaper than my insurance can and I don't want my rates to skyrocket. I have plenty of points and this would just make it worse

Pack up and walk out? Jeez, that cat must have been pissed to do that...

yeah...it caught us off guard. They restructured our pay plan from a whole department to individual commission.

The price from Mazdaspeed is $269.11 + another $150-ish in shipping. You could check used parts places too (MazToy for example).

Sorry to see that Patrick. Some people really suck. I hope you get it all taken care of.

I've been looking on Craigslist for you. Does the regular 3 hatch fit? Are they the same?

So, last week our wholesale guy decided to give his 2 week notice. This morning, the boss decided to pack up and walk out...this ought to be interesting...if I wasn't stressed out enough...

Promotion soon?

ouch. sorry to see that

Honestly I dont see why not. I've been looking too but my insurance rates won't change so that's a plus. I just don't want to pay for my deductible. But if it will be over 500 then I will just get it fixed. But if you could send me link email is (never mind) and phone number is 330-not-for creeps

The regular 3 hatch bumper will probably fit, however the Mazdaspeed 3 has a completely different looking bumper.

^^^ I figured as much.

ps- Patrick, might want to delete your info from your post. There are some crazies out there...

I agree...I would just tell people to PM you and you can send them the information then.

Thanks, fixed lol. But it doesn't look to different. Just doesn't have that mesh looking stuff at the bottom. I'll look at anything though.

Promotion soon?

I don't want it. I make a better 2nd fiddle than top dog. I want enough "power" to make decisions; but if something comes along that i'm not 100% ok with, I have somebody to consult. I've always tried to make my bosses job easier.

I'm not an expert but that looks like the bumper can be repaired. The only thing you would have to replace would be the insert where your plate is.

 

[Perro del Sol]

Patrick, reach out to Fatti and see if he has one. I saw where he had a Silver Gen 1 MS3 and he has reasonable pricing.

Fatti is also in FL.. shipping will be a b****.
Hit up junk yards.
If you are planning on buying a relatively new bumper + Good paint match = you'll get close to 500 when everything is said and done. Insurance will take care of most of the stuff - shop, parts, etc.

Fatti has a red one FS on ebay for 400 shipped, bad part is that it is red and not black

For now I would just take the bumper off and use a head gun and apply pressure with a basketball or something round to push it back out. It should pop most of that back out until you come up with a better bumper.
