NJ Got the money!! Now to fix it...

A few months ago I wrecked my 8.... I now have the funds to fix it.. I know what. Not all the parts are mazda oem parts that I wana put on it as well.. Where is a good local place that I should get this type of work done..??

I also want to buy the body/cosmetic peice for the car myself the shop can buy the rest of the part thru mazda whatever if need be. I would like to keep the warranty on it as well if I can....

Any great advice to help my rx8 look better than it did when I bought it plz drop a line. I have already purchased a carbon creations CF-Front bumper(its hot and would like to get the side and hood carbon as well... I will throw some pics up but I just ran into the cash a few hrs ago and the phone I had all my Pics on is now lost.... but I will get some up ASAP so heads can see the type of damage Im speaking of.

Any advice I would be most thankful

Help a fellow 8 look its best...

ZIP is 07068 thats newark NJ. Local heads from the Tuesdays I know yall know where to guide me.... I have the dough so lets hook this 8 up....

Thanks All Yall

The car is not drivable it needs a control arm for the passenger side.. I need to have my AAA tow it so.... It cant be that far I would assume. The car has a lil frame damage on the front passenger side Im goona post pics of the recreation of my 8 on here as well. The headlight area is deformed pretty badly.. The body/cosmetics I am not worried about I will get 2 CF side panels for that and I have the bumper so no paint will be needed some suspension work and some frame work.... I was goona get the control arm and then drive it to a shop if need be... I kinda want everything done within 3 weeks I have a trip downsouth and woujld love to drive the 8 there since she has been sitting for awhile...

the majority of your warranty will be no good if the dealer sees/finds out about that. Your engine warranty will be fine but any suspension problems, wiring problems, and probably a few other things, wont be warrantied, at least not without some work. Having frame damage (it will always be visible, repaired or not) will give them "a way out" on lots of complaints.

not saying its voided, but if they really look and find it they can use it as a way out of doing lots of stuff.
