...I wrecked my 3000GT last night. Me and a couple of guys were on a windy road and i took a turn going too fast and lost traction. Slammed right into the guard rail. Now I'm trying to scavange the money to repair as much as of the car as I can. Luckily it's all body damage. But one problem. I'm having a very hard time finding a new headlight, driver's side. It's a '96 model, white. I'll also need a new driver's side turn signal. Any help?

:(

So good news. My dad and I worked on my wrecked 3000GT for a few months, got a welding kit, our friend to help us with the paint, new headlight, new fender... And it looks even better than before. Also, we got ourselves a new clutch and flywheel, so it's a great improvement. Costs us about 2000, a lot less than an estimated 6. So perhaps it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

yah to tell you the truth thats probably the worst thing to loose

i was looking for 99 headlights they dont make aftermarket you have to call the dealer unless you can find someones used parts

anyways the 99 headlights were 800 dollars but it varies where you live

your best bet is to look around online and if not call a dealership

youll probably spend around 300 bucks if not more

Yeah, it looks like just the driver's side headlight is gonna cost me around 370 used. Not even the right color either. I'm wondering how much it's gonna cost if I go to the manufacturer, or even if they'd be able to get them... Anyone here good at estimates? I'll need a new driver's side front fender, back fender, rear bumper, and front grill (or at least I think that's what it's called, it's right under the headlights, above the bumper). As of right now, I'm slightly too bummed out to take it down to a body shop.

Im thinking at least $3500 painted if it is all done at a shop.

So guess what? I got my estimate today. $6000. God help me.

Oh man, I would just cry if I wrecked my car.
Good luck with the rebuild man

If that is too much, and your looking for a cheaper fix, you need to start at www.3si.org for parts. Then you need to work out where to get the car painted. You won't save money there, but you can finding cheaper than OEM parts.

awww that blows!! i'm sorry to hear that. Maybe call up a junkyard & see if they got anything that you need. You never what they got cal a few.. sometimes they do have alot of useful stuff!! Just an idea, maybe you could check out craigslist, or even the myspace classifieds.. you'd be surprised what ya can find, and of course Ebay. Good luck, i feel for ya !! :imsorry:

Most junk yards are crap for GT's. If its a VR4 its shipped to Cali to be rebuilt. If its not, its parted out before anyone who really needs the parts can get to them.

if its any help at all there's a guy down here trying to get rid of his 3000gt, 98 black base model. engine needs work (about 1000) but other than thats its in tip top shape (see it daily)

if you want more just PM me and we can talk it over, if not, good luck with you situation :beer:
