    Hit a deer in winter, looking to repair now. 93 Stealth

    Back in winter I hit a deer. I have a dent in the front bumper (no hood damage) and it smashed the left headlight (my lights were on). Luckily, the lights both still flip up and down but the left headlight cover is broken and the light is as well. I was just wondering if I could order parts to fix these things easily. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    That really sucks about hitting the deer. Anyways, if you absolutely have to have a brand new OEM snake eye/turn signal assembly, 3SX has several on hand the last time I checked...Just be prepared 'cause they're something like $180/ea. The easier route would be to just find the left-hand side on eBay or maybe one of the members here has a nice spare they're willing to sell you.

    As for the front bumper, a body shop could probably heat it up a little with a heat gun & get it to revert back to its original shape. The only thing that I'd be a little concerned about is whether or not the paint will end up holding up to the additional stress of reforming it. If you're also in need of the headlamp bezel/surround, then here's what I was able to come up with for part numbers:

    LH Upper headlamp bezel kit: MB698907
    LH Lower headlamp bezel kit: MB698911
    Check out Cherryhilltriplexparts.com (Cherry Hill Mitsubishi) as they are usually able to locate some of these harder-to-find parts & their pricing is very reasonable.

    GL with the repairs!!

    Real sorry to hear about your car man. I've had my share of run-ins with deers.

    From the look of it, you could probably score most of those replacement parts for cheap here in the classifieds. Getting them all off a gen1 partout car could be your cheapest bet.

    Looking at your pic, the bumper doesn't look damaged. I would pull it off and take a look at the body panels underneath and see if they're damaged. You'd just have to bend everything back as straight as possible and mount the bumper back on. As far as the marker light, yeah, check the part out ads and see who has one.
