Well I got keyed on passenger door, both doors punched or kicked, ML benz backed up on my front bumper, my rear bumper looks like Manuel Noreaga pocked marked face....All this in just two weeks of ownership....Thats what I get for parking on the street....

 

Just leave it. In another 2k miles of driving, there will be so many rock chips in the front end, you won't even notice that! J/K

Get a nice nismo front bumper buddy!

 

Well normally when you park in the back of a parking lot with no other cars around yours it's harder for theives and people to mess with your car. If you park in a crowd of cars it's easier for someone to duck down and scratch your car, rip off the Z emblem, break into it, etc. But if your car is way in the back by itself it's harder for someone to do that without being noticed.

 

Damn that sucks Ice. Theres a group buy going on NISMO V2 replica front bumpers for 300 bucks. Might want to jump in on it!!

Similar thing happened on my 3rd day of driving the Z to work, and the 6th day of ownership. $400 of damage. Ironically, it was supposed to go to the body shop that very day for a kit install, but I was too busy.

Sadly, both my prior cars were really old, but never received as much as a door ding. That Murphy guy is a sadistic one...

 

$625 + 2 day rental car... I may just have the 625 put towards that V2 group buy. I like what I see so far, I just need more pics!

 

Looks just like my front bumper right now. I plan on buying an aftermarket bumper instead of forking out cash for a stock one. This gives me a good excuse for another mod I guess.

 

Here's another bumper option for ya:

Good thing.. Atleast it wasn't a hit and run

 

+1, that it cost me, just over $500

 

The guy that even got a sorry letter and a 100 dollar bill was lucky.

I had my Z backed into and got nothing. Luckily the paint didn't come off and the bumper popped right back out.

 

That sucks. But, if you were going to get a body kit, now is the time. There are some good deals on ebay for some body kits with prices ranging from 400s to about 1500. I was forced to change my flywheel after my clutch and flywheel went out. I am going with either a Fidanza or Clutchmaster flywheel. But, that defenitely sucks.

 

sorry to see that
luckily it didnt do more damage.
it cost $600 for my back bumper to be repaired after someone hit me in rush hour traffic

 

That seems a bit steep, they must be charging alot for labor.

All that needs to be done is R&I of the bumper cover and 2-3 hours of repair to the bumper w/ refinish time. Shops around here can repair that for around $400, they also only charge $38/hr for labor & $20/hr for paint & supplies.

 

Yeah i didnt get hit by a semi but i did manage to be rear ended by an old jacked up piece of **** truck goin about 50 while i was stopped for a bus...10k in damage. happened 1 month ago and still dont have it, body shop says 2-3 more weeks. you never know how much you miss a Z till ya lose it.

 

but what i hate is when you do this and someone passes up the 50 spaces before your car and decides to park next to you for some unknown reason. it's like they do it intentionally to **** you off.

 

Just out of curiosity, how much does it cost to get forensic work done. If it's under 100$ I would get the fingerprints from the bill or paper and track the son' ***** down. LOL
