So yeah I just bought my Z three months ago and I have never driven a rear wheel drive car in the snow before. Well on my way to work today it started to snow and the back end got loose and put the nose into the wall. So now I need a new front bumper, hood and fenders. Luckily I have friend who runs a bodyshop and he is going to let my get aftermarket replacements. I can get whatever I want!! So does anyone have any suggestions??? Im think the nismo front, cf hood and fenders (seibon) And who would be best to buy these parts from? THANKS FOR THE HELP!!

 

check CarbonLTD for the parts

haha....+10000000

 

I would also reccomend on top of your new parts, a winter driving course or something.

 

What tires were you using?

 

If it wasn't already March, I'd recommend winter tires first.

 

This thread needs some photos.

 

It actually happened in Feb. and I was using the stock tires.

 

So you tried to drive in the snow with tires that aren't rated for cold tempatures let alone snow and ice. With the right tires the 350Z is fine in the snow. You're asking for an accident if you use anything less than allseasons.

 

so it didn't happen going to work today because I was gonna say it def didn't snow today...what body shop does ur buddy run?

 

Same thing happened to me bro. I feel your pain and I'm in the same boat right now. I have a check for 4400 coming so I'm looking for a body kit too...

 

Body kit? Nismo v2 FTW.

You spoke too soon.

 

what the hell people...do you not look up your tires info.... why would you... what the..........WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE KEEP MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES?

 

Dozens of Zs wrecked in the snow this year all because of the stock summer tires. Once you get your car repaired, get snow tires on all 4 wheels if you're doing ANY snow driving.

 

i drove my dropped 98 civic in snow with bald falken azenis rt-215s. only problem i had was braking. and that was only if it was sudden..... i would just have to start tapping the brakes 50 yards or so before the stop lights/signs.
