New to board, need help, and hey guys/girls

I am new to the board. So how you guys doing? Little about me. I drive a Sebring, but am on here looking for a part for a buddy of mine who has no computer. I live in Canada, and I have posted this in the F/S forum, and the Canada regonal forum, but there is not enough traffic to help me out. My buddy's neighbour
(so he thinks) backed into him on Christmas, and the neighbour won't own up to it. But that's not the issue here.

So I am in need of a 2002 P5 front driver side fender. Must be RED IN COLOR and be in great shape. I don't know how much they go for, or what my friend looks to spend on one, but I know car club members are useually really honest, as I am from a club aswell.

Here's a few pic's of my baby, I hope they work:

you do know that radiators need air to help your engine survive right?!?!?!

Whoaaa, had you not told me, I would have never guessed that was a Sebring.

Anyway, welcome to Protege Club!

Think its alright. It would look better to me if it didn't cover the front grill. I do like the hood, I had on like that on my 442.

Technically nothing has changed on the front. The changes that were made shoulnd't really make a difference.

The spot between the headlight's used to be a fake grill. It let about as much air threw, as it does now.....none. And at the bottem behind the license plate, used to be open, now it just has the mesh instead. So it should allow for roughly the same amount of air flow I guess. Also non of my Sebring/avenger board brothers/sister's said that there was any type of air flow issue, because it's still basically the stock front bumper, with a few things changed.


Also thanks for the welcome, I know some boards don't like outsiders comming in, but you guys seem like a great family.

Macdddyslomo I completely forgot about that sight, I haven't used it in a long time, I would prefer to find him that part on here, as usually forum's go a little cheaper then sight's like that. But it's not my money lol. And the car is as heavy as a dumptruck

Thanks again guys.
Terry

whoa, is that a functional R/A hood cause i didn't know it was a sebring either. when i first saw the second pic (which loaded first), i thought it was a firebird with a modified front clip.

another site you can try is www.mazdarecycling.com

finding a front fender is pretty hard to do... and to find it specifically in red is even harder.

It is a functional R/A hood, going straight to the air box. Only slight problem that someone mentioned, is that the air box was made square/rectangular. I heard that it will not allow the air to flow as fast as a more rounded air box would.

Also thanks for letting me know your opinion on the challange ahead. I will check out the sight's when I get an extra minute.

Later guys.
