Question Where is the best place I can get good replacement parts?

Black 2003 Mazda 6s Sedan

So, I got into a fender bender and need a few parts.
I'm thinking.... Ebay? idk... maybe someone will know good sites. Please help!

I need (hoping that parts for the body will come in the stock black):

Hood
Right front headlight
Front Bumper
Right front fender
Radiator
Radiator support

Those are the main parts I need... I'll add more soon.
If you have any advice for me that'd be greeaatt!

Sorry to hear that. I checked you out and can tell that you really like your 6.

For parts, and especially in black, you might check any local or online junkyard.
Other than that, a quick online search will bring up multiple sites that offer parts of all kinds. If I weren't currently saddled to this little Netbook, I know I have a lot of them saved to Favorites on my desktop.
Be careful about aftermarket produces sheet metal. It can look the same but not fit so well, or be as well reinforced. In other words, avoid AM sheet metal that has been produced in third world countries or from the "gray" market.

Thank you for your advice!

Yes I love my car! haha I'll keep that in mind when I get my bumper and hood. Most likely, I'll have to paint it. :/

You're welcome, but I'm sorry to still be tied to this Netbook so I can't offer any really good places to find parts.

One more thing though: Even if you were to find new painted body panels, they wouldn't have the wear and UV damage all cars experience so they wouldn't match so well anyway.
Any body shop worth its salt will tell you they would have to "blend" the new paint into the old panels in order for it to be undetected by all but other professionals.

So I ordered parts from a local auto parts place. New after market parts. Pretty reasonable prices. I'm satisfied. :] Thanks again.
