fender bender, god i hate this. i was at a show yesterday near soho area, parked on spring street, behind a SL500. there are alot of nice car parked near, so i though i'll be safe during day light, but by the time i came out, my front bumper was cracked and the front fender was also damaged slightly. in addition the front wheel was scratched too. i'm really up set now. none of the other cars near by was damaged.

anybody has any idea how much would it cost to get a new bumper? anyone selling their CS bumper?

 

that sucks man, I would bet about 3-400$ for the front bumper, might be a good opportunity to just get a body kit if you wanted one.

on friday Im gonna have a single front rim that might be for sale. if its still in perfect condition, I gotta go over it front and back to be sure.

 

Wayne, sorry to hear that. NYC just isn't the ideal place to own a Z I think... Just 3 days ago, I slammed into an 8" indenture on the cross island... I just figured it was a way of saying that I needed to buy new rims. I'm going to have my stock front bumper handy in about a week or so (nismo kit), but its redline, so I don't think it would do you any good.

 

thx guys. themyst were you on the cross island pkwy/ van wyk this morning? around 11, i was 2 car behind a red Z, though it might be yours. did you get the replica or the real kit?

 

Sorry to hear about your car. That sux! -m

 

wayne, 11:30ish, but yes i was. the kit i got was the kcaero knockoff. I may have heard some bad things about it, but its too late now, and from the pics i've seen, its not bad at all. I think people are expecting the world out of these kits... I know from past experience that replica kits NEVER fit properly.

 

well now since my bumper is gone, i may as well get that nismo kit , themyst, do you mind if i come over and check out your kit when it arrives. thx

 

Sure... whenever it comes. They say the kit is drying at the body shop (since i am ordering it prepainted, big mistake), but I will probably receive it this week along with my TE37s... I'll let you know when they come.
