need help fixing door among many other things..



what is this piece, name/part#? where can be bought and fo rhow much? how to put it on properly?

car was victim of a hit and run, and then a 'wanna-be thug rican with a baseball bat'-and-run, took out the mirror, door, and nice kicked in dent on quarter panel all on drivers side as well as cracked in the oe poly bumper

so now im riding around with a halfassed buddyclub 2 kit and halfassed molded m3 mirrors (gotta finish sanding/bondoing that), fix the door, fix/finish body kit, as well as swap out interior for a black interior im working on obtaining all of, hookup my new system im plannign ot obtain soon as well, and get it all painted a nice new color

If anybody knows where to hookup the wires for the m3 blinkers thatd be great, theres no blinkers listed on the wiring database that i see here

anybody got a DIY shaved doors price/guide ??

Your wires for the turn signals should be seperate behind the hazard switch?? I would imagine that would be easy access.

You have to run the m3 wires to the headlights. There are three wires that come from behind the turn signal light. You will have to tap one wire from the m3 lights to the black one behind the headlight. You have two options: 1.) If you want the m3 lights to remain solid like the running lights, then you have to tap the other m3 wire to the green wire behind the headlight. 2.) If you want m3 lights to remain solid and blink with the turn signal, then you will have to tap into the red wire behind the headlight.

I put mine throught the fender. I didn't want to drill a hole in the firewall. A guy at best buy also told me that you could do it in the steering column, but I'm not sure what wires. I would assume a green or red and black wires coming from the turn signal switch. Not sure though! If you go that route, good luck.

The wires may not be be behind the hazard as i suggested, but that was just a guess... I did M3 mirrors on an F150 and thats where i got them... but why are you guys running wires through the fender??? Use the big grommet on the passenger side to run your wires through the firewall... its easy and you can hide stuff so you cant see it.
