Some old *** in a Ford PU tried to mate his truck with my VX. Only CF panels were damaged. Due to my deductable I am thinking of fixing myself. How easy/hard is it to replace the carbon fiber panels and bumper cover?

Yeah it searched and even brought up a recycler in my town. I called him and he does not have it. I have to say their search function is very user unfriendly and apparently not very accurate. Sorry

Front bumper cover is not difficult to change yourself, but he part is hard to locate. I waited 3 months for a new one from japan.
What parts are you calling carbon fiber?

Well if they have say a door its a safe bet the panel is still there? I have found a bunch of stuff on that site and i have not found better yet, but im looking>Originally Posted by circmand

Pretty much all the exterior cladding panels are once again available new - Merlin mentioned when I asked that the rear was showing 40+ in inventory, so I'm guessing a new shipment has made it over recently from Japan. Call St. Charles for pricing (free shipping plus 10% off to VX.info members - just mention that you got the number from here). 1-800-727-8066 ask for Merlin (he's the Isuzu parts guy).

Sorry not CF but exterior cladding. I already confirmed availability with Merlin and will use him but I have fund another site with same prices but probably not as good as service. I need to replace at a minimum the front bumper cover and right front quarter panel pieces. Is it simply a matter of popping in the plastic pieces and then screwing in the panel? That is all I see so far but figure others here have actually done it.
