Default CRASHED! Anybody know where I can get used 1998 body parts in the NYC area??

Anybody do any mods that left them with spare fenders?? LOL

I need to find a place with used parts - or discount parts. I took it to the body shop and they said $2200USD to fix it -

New bumper, Drivers side fender, headlight and turn signal.

Default ouch...

bumper $350 shox $79 each
fender $249 headlight $308 (e codes from AWE)

so...about $1000 for parts, usually $250 to paint bumpers, and another $250 for the fender= $1500

i would say that the shop's estimate is pretty good, add on labor and your around the neighborhood of $2200....it costed me almost $5000 to replace the hood, S4 bumper, and fender + paint install etc.

if your talking about the signal on the fender those are on ebay all the time.

just mho

Thanks for the numbers.

A guy turned right from the left lane.

It was "minor" - Some small damage to the front of the fender right behind the headlight/turn signal but it pulled my bumper off.
