ok heres my dilemma - on the way back from a snowboarding trip (i live in MI), i slid into the back of a suburban waiting to turn @ about 5 mph. Royally messed up the front end - i need a new right headlight, front fascia, grille, hood, fender, radiator, and coolant fan. My question to anyone on here is where can i find a place online for new OEM spec mazda body panels, and where can i find aftermarket parts that might be an alternative. im still debating if i might be able to fix it or not, ive fixed a front end before, but this one is still up in the air. Good news is that the suburban had NO DAMAGE - how come im not so lucky!!!!

There seems to be an epidemic in MI, everyone seems to think that painting your car isn't cool anymore, and people drive around with more primer than paint. What is the world coming to?Tags: None

If your looking for alternative aftermarkte parts then try www.wingswest.com I think they make a body kit for that year protege.

well i went to the dealer today - 3200 in damage. but i did opt for the MP3 front end, but now am looking for a reasonably priced set of mp3 fog lights. The dealer wants 300 for the set, but im sure i can find them cheaper. any ideas let me know. i have pics of the damage if anyone is interested

hey BigWoo, what part of Michigan are you from? What ski hill were you coming home from? We go to Caberfae a few times a season, we just got back from there this past weekend. Spent new years up there.
Sorry to hear about your car.. $3200... ouch.'I did nothing... I did absolutely nothing and it was everything I thought it could be!?'

i live downriver, near trenton. I was coming home from Mt. Holly and it all happened in their parking lot. thanks for the sympathy, im sure you know how bad the roads and driving are up here so you can understand where im coming from. Also, any idea on price of the PIAA fog lights and part #, i couldnt seem to find any doing a search.
ill post pics on the cardomain site and then link them to here in a few hours

I'm still amazed that this all happened at 5 mph.
