Car hit, need help on where to get cheap parts

Any help appreciated. I'm sure I need the rear bumper cover, rear side marker, the driverside rear turn signal? and that quarter panel I dunno how that works or what needs to be done for that.

Aside from the regular online dealer parts places, I have two suggestions:

eBay - Seen em on there occasionally.
www.car-part.com - might luck out and find one that's already painted your color

Sorry about the hit. Good luck in the search!

That rear quarter area is probably the worst place to get hit... its never going to be the same.

i think that rear 1/34 needs to be welded back into place. I know its no 240sx but thats how my 240 was. that within itself is liek 1500 right there everything else you could probably find in a junkyard, here, or ebay

Thanks guys I'll check out those links. Finding a rear bumper cover for our cars is the ishts. Anyways I'm trying to have one of the fastest repairs ever. Me and a buddy pulled the dent out and bondo'd the quarter panel so now at least the jerks at the shop can't keep my car for 3, 4 weeks talking about they're welding. Now I just need a bumper and the outer rear tail light with some sanding on that bondo and the car will be ready for paint. Well that's the major stuff. I still need a side marker light, but that's pie.

If you know enough to pull dents and bondo, you probably already know this - but just in case: put some primer on the bondo as soon as you can, you don't want it in contact with any moisture as that can cause bubbling.

Well to be more specific it's not really bondo. It's bondo-like. My buddy is the one into body work. It's some isht he brought from the job. Seems tough enough and I really didn't need a whole lot.

Well hopefully it works out for you. I have been less than impressed with bondo.
