  • My Girlfriend wrecked her car....

    kinda .. nothign serious she just backed out of her driveway and hit her dads truck ...she was pissssssed .. her dads truck doesnt even have a scratch but she cracked her bumper pretty good one one side and broke her corner light .. she wants me to fix it which i dont have a problem with but u guys have any idea what would be the cheapest way for this? where to get a cheaper bumper and light and **** .. and any idea how much a bumper will cost to paint... shes on a really low spending limit and might not be able to fix it till spring if it cost to much ... any ideas? btw its an 03 Eclipse lol

    call up junk yards.. things like bumpers and corners are fine to get at places like that.. and if you call around enough, you might even find a bumper cover in the same color.

    besides that, ebay..

        Junkyards get a bad name... literally. Salvage yards are better for getting parts from newer model cars. Usually parts are half of dealer retail and in decent shape. The bumper, I would get one without it being beat up, and have a body shop reshot it.

        Oh.. and I would just fix the tail light now.. wait on the bumper until spring... wouldn't want to have someone tag a freshly painted bumper when snow falls again...

              i'd call around to see if any of the local yards have a few of that type of car in stock.. hell man, there's probably 3-5 yards in our area.. if all else fails, there's harry's u pull it in hazelton.. they got pretty much everything.. id start with any place that has more than one of the car (if possible) and just pull the cover that is the nicest. I've seen some decent looking stuff in the boneyard. and those cars arent that hard to take the cover off of. Its def. worth the time to check, seeing as it could save you a hundred bucks or more to have it painted.

              i would have no qualms with puttin a salvaged bumper cover or tail light on my car, as long as it was in good shape. its not like they wear our or anything..

                Find the local ricer board and ask on there. I'm sure someone with another '03 has bodykitted theirs and has the original laying around somewhere.
