    Have you considered painting it yourself? You can get a whole kit with spray can of adhesion promoter for the plastic, primer,  color matched paint, and catalyzed clear from paintscratch.com for around $90 (less if you don't want the other stuff in the kit). It won't be 100% perfect, but could be worth the savings compared to paying a body shop.

      I liked the fact that I could pay someone and the job not turn out bad. I have one more contact then that is probably the way I'll go.

                      Man. I guess when I buy kits from ECS I'll keep an eye out. I bought a shifter bushings kit too with 2 uro parts. Ah fuck now you guys have me paranoid.

                          I mean it is pretty hard to mess up the shifter bushings so I wouldn't be too worried about those. I upgraded all of my stuff to delrin so that it took all of the slop out of the stock design.

                            Bought an E36 m3 lip for my lux bumper today. Sanding it down and painting it black. Found it under a sign. I also finally got my shiftknob and side markers from @wasnt m3. For those of you who didn't know spider got into a really bad head-on collision going to buy a new Miata. He was in the hospital since the 12th when it happend.  I plan on trying to rewrap the knob in suede.

                                    Texting and driving or speeding in residential areas is a great way to awaken the Snapsquatch

                                      Accident description sounds like a mess. Equinox lane crosses and pinballs off the semi (?) rather than everything ending there, and likely no way to see it coming until it's too late since he was behind and vision blocked by the semi. Glad he's ok and recovering.

                                        Sorry to hear about your friend, that's terrible. Hopefully he recovers 100%.

                                          That’s scary.

                                          Glad he’s alright and has a full and quick recovery.
