HELP : Panels

Does anyone have a website of a place to get body panels, such as a bumper, front fender, front valance, and header panel.
I know VB has them but they are way overpriced.

if you think VB is way overpriced, try mazdatrix or the dealership...

VB is actually a decent price. I'd be leery paying less for some unknown non-Mazda part...

Trouble is VB wants $100 to ship a fender! There's no way it costs that much, does it?

Your economical solutions will be junkyard, parts store or mazda dealer.

Sure the dealer will charge you $100 for the part, but they should not charge you any shipping. YMMV

That's rediculous. I can't believe they sell any. I would have a hard time buying something knowing shipping was 50% of the cost...

Does anyone know how much a fender, for example, is from a dealer?

I can get the fenders for about $100 CND here because i got cost plus 10% at my moms work. But thats all they can get in. The bottm valance is hard to find other than VB and MazdaTrix
