Default Its wrecked!
Got lucky! No frame damage and hood isn't touched. The only things I have to replace is the bumper, fender, and headlight(RIGHT SIDE) The fender got pushed into the wheel and put a tiny dent on the rim and I think that threw the alignment off a bit. Geico said I could repair it myself so maybe I can parley that into a kit. Anyone have these parts for 03 base? Trust me when I say if it wasn't for the stop tech stage 2, it would have been hella worse! Another good note, the Rick's smoked diffuser and bumper lens were un-harmed. Here is the before and after!

While merging on to I-275 the lady 2 cars ahead of me freaked out and slammed on her brakes. My fault ultimately, but I wasn't driving bad. It was in a construction zone with concrete barricades on both sides. No where to go!

Those pictures look like an advertisement on how NOT to change your amber side markers.

Funny! When I started that install I was thinking something bad would happen, it didn't. Now I get to do it again!

I'd replace the headlights with the new '06 type, if that'll work.

I'm glad that no one was injured.

looks like someone took a bite out of your Z. You're lucky the frame wasn't bent.

It must be good $hit! Na, the hood is fine. I just threw the bumper with the smoked lens and ricks smoked diffuser on the hood to show they survived. Incredibly, the clear headlight housing didn't even crack...just the back side of the housing.

Yeah, It also took a bite out of me. As I was ripping off the rest of the fender I sliced my finger open.

Looks like you sawed off the fender and the bonnet. I'm confused. You said the bonnet was untouched.

Damn... sucks. Florida drivers are the worst out of anywhere I have ever driven. Bunch of idiots they are (except all of you, of course).

Hope you get her back up and running.
