I hate Squirrels

Coming home from putting on 4 new tires and I see a squirrel leaping across the road, cant avoid it so I end up hitting it. Dont think too much about it until I come home and see this. Broken driver side roadlamp, scratches, and chipped paint. Now I i need new housing or 03 inserts.



Where could I get some 03 inserts? Would they even fit? Help

Yes they are a direct fit.
Ebay, black market your local dealer or an online dealer. Links are in the FAQ.

Should just go with the inserts, they look better IMO. You can get a set from acuraoemparts.com for around $30. Here are the part numbers

regardless if he's offering 03 inserts/road lamp housings, or even both TOGETHER, this is a rip-off.

It looks like whoever painted your bumper didnt do it correctly because the paint shouldnt be flaking off like that so bad just from a squirral..it looks like its just going to peel more now too..most likely your going to have to repaint that

So thats not factory paint? As far as I know it is.

Its got 130k miles, maybe that has something to do with it?

Are you the original owner? If not its most likely been painted and you just didnt realize it. Youll definatly know its a repaint if the paint starts bubbling and flaking off everywhere. Plastic bumpers take a different prep procedure than metal and alot of shops, specially cheaper ones will skip these steps.
