I just got back from mitsubishi on sturt st in the city. i need a new right tail light, damaged after some one kicked it in. they told me that a new one would cost $508.... WTF!.... look i know FTO's are not your every day car, and hence forth things for it get pricey... hey thats what makes it a special sportscar.... but 500 bucks for a light, not both just one. sheeesh. i went there expecting 200 to 250. dont i feel like a nuff now aye.

how much are those altezza ones again... might as well get them both since im gonna be forking out that much, whats a little more aye. :?

sorry to hear dude... before you fork out ridiculous amounts of the folding stuff for the altezzas or get ripped off by those twats, i'd start ringing up Mitsu wreckers around town and you may just get lucky... ;)

that price is about right, but as Mikey said try a wrecker first.

You'll find parts which are common with other Mitsi's are a reasonable price (e.g. Galant) but FTO specific parts will be exy as they'll have to ship them in from overseas especially for you.

yeah first i rang 3 or 4 jap car wreckers that were listed in the yellow pages. none of them had anything let alone a light. so i went to mitsu and they asked for my soul :lol: it was funny even the dude who served me swore and anounced "what a RIP!" his boss behind the glass didnt look happy about that lmao.

no i havent but its cool, i spoke to fto12345, gonna buy his one for 300. its still i fair bit but id rather give another fto member the money then those blood suckers. besides i want them rather quickly coz the whole blinker bit is broken of and makes the entire car look crap. nothing worse then seeing a spot on sexy sports car and then a broken light lol
