get ready for a fight. Let us know how it works out.
Just go thru insurance.....
The bumper needs to be taken off, and painted plus you need to have the impact foam and clips, checked to make sure the front bumper has not been compromised.....
my 2 cents....

yeah...spider-webs will be forming by guess. Hard to say if there is any other damage...you will have to take it to a body shop and ask them to take a look at it...but unfortunetly unless they remove the front bumper, they won't know what damage has been done. If anything maybe the foam absorber.

Unrelated, Deftones do you have pics of your 07 on the GT-S's without a drop? Trying to decide if I need one or not, didnt put my Volks on since I figure the cars gonna need to go in to get painted.

Dude, call her insurance company and file a claim on her behalf (not sure if it can be done w/o a police report, but who knows)
Just stop P***Y footing around and get your GD 07 Z fixed already. I would have flown off the fn handle had it been me.....christ.

Wouldn't feel guilty at all about doing whatever you need to to get your Z back in good condition. This coming from a guy who paid 660 to replace the rear bumper of a Corrola
few months ago(still think the person i hit coulda looked for a lower qoute....). But people deserve to not have there possesions that they spent hard earned money on tarnished by others.
Unless you live in Europe where everyone just buys POS's and bumper cars their way into parking spots.

well weeks later my car still isnt fixed.
Insurance company wouldnt pay for the repaint until they tried to buff it. Well they tried to buff it and it didnt help. Not only that but when the bodyshop looked at it they noticed there was a big *** gap between the headlight and the bumper.
The gap is present on both sides but more extreme on the passenger side. Further more they said theyy're not sure they can fix it. So I get a call from the adjuster and he starts bsing me telling me its probably due to the bumpers material and the heat outside thats causing it to flex. I proceed to tell him Im not buying anything hes saying and I want my car fixed. He tried to tell me he went to the nissan dealer to look at other Z's and the gaps were there, WTF ? These gaps arnt minor they are 1/4 inch in places.
After all that he tries to offer me an appearance allowance of $150. I refused that cause honestly anyone can tell the car has been hit. Either way I took the car to another shop they quoted the repair work including repainting and prepping at 375. I faxed that over to the insurance adjuster and am awaiting a response.
Oh a little off topic but apparently someone at my work tried to convince the girl that hit me to say she didnt and not pay. Wonderful people I work with...

On a side note... go here if you wanna see an 07 dropped with Tein S Techs. I know you were curious before about lowering your car. I'm thinking about going this route.
