Yeah there was a good bit damaged. The replacement of a Nismo wing isn't cheap either. The ins company wrote the estimate low 3100 but that was soon changed when they pulled everything off and saw everything else. So that plus the wing made it jump to almost 5k.

Opinions on wheels anyone?

Umm 5k was cheap for that kinda hit. I was surprised about the estimate when someone forgot the yeild and I got paint cratch, no body damage.

Basicly he didnt yeild, I caught it last second and swerved. Hit mirror and a little bit of his side pannel scraped my car, which this detailed pic is evidence of that.

Bill for the accident?

$1,273.43 this included no body work. Just sanding, painting, and blending and replacement of the stripe. So your 5k esimate doesnt seem bad in comparison. Note to self and others, dont hit pre 2001 explorers... there costly.

 

Yep its tha labor thats the most expensive part... add up quicker than people think. The important thing about mine was no one was seriously hurt and its fixed now with a lifetime warranty on the molding and paint. Can't complain about that.

 

I just noticed you don't have a font license plate....lucky bastard!

 

good job for changing the tail light back to stock!!! tho id think a pair of 06 or JDM 06 would look awesome on the white Z

 

Yeah they are going back the JDM actually getting the 06 style just not in yet. The g/f got the clears for me on X-Mas lucky for me they were on and took the hit that way I didnt have to tell her I didnt like them!

LOL... Shew... I heard a guy lost his ***** recently for something like that!

 

if i see a Z on the road with those lights.. id rear end it and make sure both gets damaged.. then demand him for damage $$$ and make him thank me for a favor well done..

 

new rims please.

 

Hey. The car looks great. Good work!

 

I'm guessing it looks better now than before the damage?

 

Sorry if you don't like my (honest) opinion, but I think the kit's not to my liking... I would have taken the opportunity to get a CF hatch (and depending if it's driven in snow / the winter, a lexan rear glass replacement) and gone from there. At least you got rid of those tail lights

Overall though, taste differences aside, I'm very glad to see you have it back / intact, it's never fun seeing a fellow enthusiast's car damaged

 

looks nice...

 

I think the woman who hit you did you a favor, you dont have those damn alteeza's on it anymore....shame on you
