If you don't have any luck through eBay. Check www.ronayers.com they have the cheapest OEM plastics that I have found.

If you don't want OEM, there are a ton of fibreglass companies out there.

Yes, you have to sign up for ebay, but it's free and only takes a minute to do.

You can look up the part number at Partsfish.com and then plug the part number into the part search tool at www.servicehonda.com They have some good prices, usually cheaper than Partsfish. But also check out RonAyers I've heard great things about them.

If your bodywork is race stuff, then it's probably fiberglass and can be repaired/repainted very easily and cheaply. Contact Mike Applehans (hcr25) at Morse Custom Fiberglass, tell him Alex sent you:

719-266-8630
http://www.morsefiberglass.com/

They do bodywork for a lot of the MRA racers, great work at great prices.

Yes sir, Mike can hook you up big time on race bodywork repair. I thrashed my upper and it was like $115, came primered and looking better than before I wrecked it. :shock: :bow:

Right, the shop is in the Springs but Mike lives in Denver so he may be able to meet up with you in town. :)

Scott Morse is the owner, Mike works for him. As was said they are located in the Springs but they have a dropoff location in Denver, or I'm sure you can work something out with Mike. I'm sure you'll be happy with the work they do, Hoopty's upper was ripped apart, and when I saw it later it looked brand new. :up:

yea That would be great. now maybe i can get it fixed in about a month instead of spring. :lol:

Yeah dude, my upper was pretty thrashed. The top part by the mirrors was flapping, barely attatched. Mike was proud of that fooker when he brought it by, he said it looked better than it did before I crashed it, which I agreed. He even said he wouldn't be suprised if someone thought it was brand new. Sure as shit, a few people asked me later that day if it was new! :lol: :D

sounds pretty tight. hopefully he'll call me soon and well get it fixed. :up:
how much did your repair cost hoopty, if you don't mind me asking. I'm asuming that yours would be considered a 3 on there 1-3 scale of damage

Hoopty
Tue Oct 21st, 2003, 03:30 PM
About $115, yes level 3 damage.
