Wtb: 08 Mazdaspeed3 Front Bumper!!!

[D_Roc7822]

I know this is a really big long shot but I got into an accident last night cause of the f**king ice that was all over the road last night. I went to turn going like 5-10 mph and hit a sheet of ice that sent me right into the curb and into a fire hydrant. Things damaged were the front bumper (pretty much hanging off the car) and the front fender is rolled up. I need what the title says.. a front bumper for a 08 Mazdaspeed3.. doesnt really matter what color but silver would be preferrable. Please let me know if anyone has one or knows where I can get one for cheap. Other option is to get the auto exe front bumper but just checking here first. Thanks.

holy smokes just saw this!!!! hope you get everything in order eventually...personally i would go for the auto exe front bumper now, it is pricey though and can take a while to get... g/l...

 

[D_Roc7822]

yeah thanks.. just looking @ all the options right now. Got the car on tuesday and it happened on saturday lol. I swear if I didnt have bad luck Id have no luck @ all. But it will be fixed.

 

[D_Roc7822]

anything?? anything @ all. I got a quote for the Auto exe front bumper and its kinda crazy. With shipping & everything.. it be around a grand for it and id have to wait 2 months to get it. Just checking in to see if anyone has one or knows where I can get one.

Are you running winter tires?

Are you running winter tires?

considering he hit ice, it wouldnt matter a ton...

 

[D_Roc7822]

I only had the car for 4 days so didnt have time to do anything to it.. and yeah I hit ice. I could have had winter tires & AWD, BBK and still would have had the same outcome.

you might not have hit as hard if you had AWD but you probably still would have hit.

Here are some pics of the accident... The car looks better now cause I zip tied the bumper up and one my buddies unbent the front fender and everything. Its still noticeable cause the bumper is cracked and everything but it doesnt jump out @ you and be like hey I hit something..

 

[DubbyDoo]

oh you can duck tape that up np

 

[D_Roc7822]

lol actually what I did was almost as good as that... I just jammed a screw into the bumper to hold it on. You would never know the difference until you see it all cracked up.

 

[D_Roc7822]

I was wondering if there were any updates on this or anything? Anyone know where I can get a bumper? Please and thank you... really dont wanna buy one from the dealer.

for the bumper... I'd check on the other forum for "tiffany @ showcase" or "rontonkinmazda" both are dealers who help a bit with pricing. I know tiffany has her own thread titled "anyone need anything" so it'd be worth a shot to check out

other than that, I'd use it as an excuse to go autoexe bumper

 

[D_Roc7822]

thanks man.. I appreciate it. And yeah I would go autoexe bumper but Im not that rich to pay a grand for the bumper. Sorry Ill put that money towards a TBE or something else actually worth it.

 

[Falconx84]

I completely understand that one, I'm actually not much for the non-performance visual mods myself. I even have a hard time justifying tint when the AP is right around the corner. Figure the tint money can go towards stage 2 suspension/ap/tbe... and I can just wear sunglasses, lol

 

[D_Roc7822]

lol.. dont get me wrong. Im a big visual person.. If you saw pics of my Protege 5 I used to have you could tell it. But I like to have a car that has both the looks and the performance. Oh and by the way I pmed tiffany over at the other forum so we shall see what I get back. Thanks again..
