New OEM Aero Front Bumper?

Unfortunately, that won't be enough to fix the car.

That said, I've got a new, in-box Aero Front Bumper. It's primed (white) and ready to be painted (as in the picture below), and has never been removed from the box.



Send me a PM if you're interested, calypson.

Yeah, what she said!! In my 330, I was always a nervous wreck when he would drive. I become the co pilot from hell. "please don't cut the corners, would you like me to parallel park for you.. please don't rub the curb, you are going to scratch the rims". Finally, I just gave up. Big difference between driving an outback and a 330. Now for the MCS, its a joint purchase... that means, he breaks it, he fixes it! Now, I just sit back and chill.

Wasn't trying to offend the ladies here... "She" is just a nervous driver. Should have bought the 79 civic instead.
Need hood, bumper, L fender and all related and attached parts. :(

THis is going to be a pain..

go to Realoem.com and you can get all the part numbers you will need. But you'll have to strip it down, and see how deep the damage goes. You handy with body work? Classic Auto Campus sells to NAM members at 20% off... Also, I think I saw a hood on the marketplace. No fenders though....

And think of the guilt lever you get to pull with your girlfriend/wife! Sounds like someone is in the driver seat now!

I actually don't know all the details...I have been away from home for a month now and should get back within the next few days. So I'm just going by word of mouth. She said somebody did a u-turn in front of her...no injuries at all. She was not at fault (but I do harrass her!!)so I'm getting a percentage of the claim in cash essentially.
Its a 05 baby blue MC. I was surfing on my lonely nights and came across this very informative site. Seeing as nearly all the front will likely need replacing I don't care if it's MCS stuff either.
Air bags anybody?? I can't beleive they went off!

One of his other businesses is air bag service! Even if he doesn't work in your area, he probably knows who does.

And some of the racers took theirs out... Maybe there are some floating around here?
