WTB: 01+ headlamps, taillamps, frt bumper cover

[ben91]

Looking for front bumper cover, headlamps and taillamps (both sides) from an 01 or newer miata. Thanks

Ben, Kris said that he'd be willing to see what your tail lights look like on his car. If he likes it, he'll trade you his '03 lights. Just throwing that out there if you want me to arrange it. :)

[ben91]

Sounds awesome to me.

[RotorNutFD3S]

I'll let him know and see when we can all meet up.

[ben91]

I scored a pristine used passenger side headlamp for a real good price. :)

[RotorNutFD3S]

PcolaNA?

[ben91]

No, and it's a standard lamp not the MSM one. I like the tinted MSM set up, but not at 3x the money.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Yeah no ****. Did you get my PM? :)

[ben91]

Yeah, no thanks though. They're so damn cheap new now (especially with the 30% off paypal special), I don't think it would be worthwhile for either of us...

[RotorNutFD3S]

Ah, I gotcha. Figured I'd buy it to give money to a person I know, and not a company. But it's cool. Was worth asking. :D

[ben91]

OK I now have both front headlamps. :)

[Doppelgänger]

might want to check mazda-speed forums, someone was parting out a car on there and someone on .net was talking about what they should do with a totaled MSM that they have.

[ben91]

I have been browsing there. But if you see a MSM front bumper cover somewhere, give me a heads up please, I'd probably take it. Otherwise, the standard cover is actually pretty cheap to get new.

[Doppelgänger]

haven't we already discussed there is nothing different about the MSM bumper cover? Now the front lip on the MSM, that's a different story.

[ben91]

I know the cover is (virtually) identical. It's the MSM lip that I'm interested in. If I get a MSM front cover, it's likely to come with a lip. :)

[Doppelgänger]

ahhhhh, ok.

[ben91]

Both headlamps are in posession.
Maybe this weekend or so I'll get those rear lamps swapped with Kris.

I'm thinking of installing the new headlights with the old bumper to see how it looks. As I understand from reading miata.net, I can make it work but there will be a gap between the bumper and the inside corners of the new lamps because the new lamps are smaller than the old ones towards the inside. However, supposedly both types of lamps are the same size towards the outside. I dunno, I'll give it a shot; I'm ansy to get HID again.

Speaking of, I need to order a ching-chong HID kit and some wiring connectors to make harnesses.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Yeah man, he is still interested. It's just a matter of meeting up again. Sorry again I didn't know about that. Don't know the intricacies of NBs.

[ben91]

Still am looking for a front bumper cover, 01-05. Everything else has been sourced.
