thats the damage, theres some blue paint. Based on the time it happend, btw 5:30-7:30, i was at work. I feel it was one of my coworkers, ive got to go get pictures of her bumper.

Some people just dont have respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im deeply hurt and saddened. This is my baby that somebody hit, i put my blood and sweat into this car. LAst week i spent over 20 hours in two days detailing and installing the interior and now this.

Im thankful i got to take photos of her in her prime but now life sucks. I cant afford a 500$ deductable so im looking on going a diff route to resolve the issue. I can pick up some fenders and have the painted to match and install which should be under 500. 250 for parts, 250 for paint? Anybody know the price for oems? I might get some aftermarkets but im worried about fitment.

any advice guys? Heres to hoping i catch the sob that did this!!!!

just go to a nissan auto wrecking yard with cash in hand and you might be able to get a discount. A nice color matched paint job shouldn't be over $250 installed.

im willing to go aftermarket, but worried about fitment.

You own a ~$30,000 car and you can't afford $500 for your deductible? WTF?

Not everyone is made of money. Alot of people that own Z's are kids who are working paycheck to paycheck to pay for them.

ding ding ding!!! Thanks for the support abyss. Thats pretty much what i do. I work check to check to live, my car is the one of my most prized possessions. Im not complaining about 3$ a gallon gas or 50$ oil for my oil changes and rubber isnt cheap either. Its crap like this that i cant afford.

Oh god buddy, it hurts looking at that, and even more that such people would do something terrible like this, and just leave! Oh man, I hope you really get the issue resolved, and your Z looking brand new again. The thing is, this incident always remains in the back of your mind...
Good luck with everything!

That must look nasty when you walk over to your car... Best of luck with getting a good price for the repair!

find out which co-worker did it and get on their *** to pay for it. That looks horrible, it hurts me to look at it. Sorry.

even after you get OEM fender, painting cost, still come out around $500. Why not pay the deductable and get nicer aftermarket fender and repaint it.

sexi z

it's unnecessary shlt!!!
that $500 is going towards something that shouldn't have been messed up in the first place!
That could have been a new mod ::thinkin the way you guys think::

I have a somewhat similar dent on my car too...hit and run also (2nd time) =(
do people just not see our car? or maybe they r so hypnotized that the don't realize they just hit it.
funny thing is, i always go out of my way to park somewhere "safe" and still get scr*wed
