so i ran into a girl yesterday, i hit her tire and caused minimal damage to her car, but my car i friggin broke my bumper, cracked it and the thing bent all up and cracked the paint on it.

she was across the street turning left and i was turning left onto the same street. she went after i looked and then bam i hit her pass. side. i didnt get a sitation (sp) but i need a new bumper. i found one on a site for like 27 bucks, but its not painted. I just installed my e-36s last weekend and i go and act dumb like this, im glad i didnt f them up.

is anyone around this area west ohio or indiana that has a parts car with a pearl white max bumper for sale? Ill drive to pick it up. im gonna check the junk yards 'round here but they are not pick and pulls, which usually means **** is more expensive. PM or email me please if you have a bumper or driving light for pass side.

here is a pic of the accident with the black tire mess all over my bumper

this is after i cleaned it up with simplegreen
AFTER

 

anyone............noooo....just tryin' it on.

 

that'll buff out.. and a dab of super glue and you're good to go.

 

i have a spare turn signal if you want

 

hellz jeah! mr gone you got pm.

 

theres this junkyard by my hometown in ohio (Steubenville) who had a complete maxima peal color, his prices are fair and the number is 304-527-2270 (yeah i know its a westvirginia number but its like 3 mins from the ohio border, or theres this place called zata's its in the same area, i dont have the number for that one though but i know that both of these places have a pearl colored maxima in good condition

 

thanks for the info dante! that might be an option for me, but i doubt it since its like a 3-4 hr drive for me. thanks again, ill keep lookin though.

 

have you tried the classifieds for 3rd gen ?

 

yeah, this guy said he has 3rd gen parts and if he didnt have a part he could prolbably get it. He asked me for a price, i said 30 shipped because i can get a brand new one for $27 plus shipping but its not painted. he said i should expect to pay like $150 for a bumper from a yard. and he said i would probably pay like 1 to 2K for a 3rd gen car from a yard. so needless to say i dont think there is anything in the classifieds. but yes i did look.

i dont see who in there right mind would pay 2k for a junk yard car, when i bought mine with minimal minor problems for 2k. I think i could find a find a car for like 2-3 hundred i would imagine, not 2k.

anyway yeah classifieds are a no, i found a pick n pull yard in toledo called spuds, im sure its state of the art equipment...lol.

 

2k?? Ridiculous. That's what I got my pearl max for with 73,000 miles.

 

Go to a body shop and have them remold the crack. Should be no more than 150. You could be ghetto and bondo it then find your color code and goto a auto store and get some touchup paint.

 

cause either one of those wont crack next time he bumps into something or something bumps into him. and $27 for a bumper shiped seems way cheap.

 

well its 27 plus shipping, but its not painted. but i imagine i will find a pearl front bumper at a yard which i imagine will be cheaper than $150. But i might just wait and leave it like it is and save my money so i can eventually paint the ***** black, because for one, the clear coat on my car is shot, i waxed tha car as soon as i got it, but it was the first time it had EVER been waxed. i think ill go with Black. i dont know. i dont think any other color would compliment my interior, plus i want black after what jadakiss said on cribs.

i got all cars black because when i take them out its like a funeral the way i be killin 'em.

 

$27 is still cheap even being unpainted, and changing the color on your car is probably alot more than you think.

 

well im expecting to be hit with about $1500 for a good paint job with engine bay and door jams but im sure i could find someone like awsm66 thats around this area to paint it for cheaper. but i guess $1500 is bout the right area, or am i wrong?

 

not sure where you live but $1500 for the paint job I belive you have in your head is unrealistic.

 

so is $1500 too low? or too high? im not talkin bout a maaco job, but im also not talkin about the super duper deally deluxe paintarific job either.

what price are you gauging?

 

at least $2500 Id say, around here in NY, and Im talking about a professional good quality paint job.

 

go to wal-mart and get u some spray bombs and epoxy..then go to local liquor store for a 30 pack of Bud-Light and slap the paint to her!!!

 

tripleGmax!!!
not only did i not see hot chicks (or any chicks at all) on ur cardomain site, i also saw a CAN straped to your y-pipe


... im not angry at you, just disapointed

 

yeah mr cheezer, the whole hot chicks thing was to get you go to my site, im so cleaver!!

and the tin can was because the day i bought the car the b pipe/resonator broke and i put it back together with an old can of peas it was on a sunday so that was my only choice, i got a whole new exhaust system now!!!
