So I'm driving my Friend to look at a Z he wants to buy and As i'm pulling into the dealer. BAM! Silverado. Not as bad as I thought though.

 

ouch. Not bad though like you said. about 5-600 in damages. It's just hard to get a good paint match on yellow.

 

Ouch, I thought this was another which should I buy thread/ Z vs XXX thread.

 

Yea I'm still worried about that. Well see how it turns out. Insurance Paid me 1075.00 for damages. I'm trying real hard to find a decent body kit. Nissan's gonna paint it so it should be ok.

 

I had my front bumper replace and painted by the dealor and the match came out better than factory. (Daytona Blue) Good luck it will come out fine.

 

Thx

 

same thing happened to me...cept it was some drunk dude in a ranger...then he tried to run, and that was a huge mistake on his part. All came out okay though, as I'm sure it will with you.

 

damn that sucks kinda stupid to run from a sportscar in a ranger lol.

 

lol i thought this was a street racing thread or a buying a z vs buying a silverado thread...

come to find out a silverado pwns your Z...ouch, not cool!

sorry to hear man. good luck on the fix

 

^^^ Lol.. Thought the same thing.

 

He probably didnt see you.........hard to spot yellow Z's.

 

maybe he thought it was a bee and he slapped it before he got stung... though I may be wrong...

 

atleast you got a grand for it.... 5-$600 will fix you up.

 

damn man...if you go to the nissan dealersship it might cost you around $850...
thats what it costs the ladies insurance who rear ended me...

sorry to hear about it man...

 

did u chase him down and lay a beating on him?

 

no big deal man, the bumper cover is $300, then you have to get it painted. about $600 total. good luck

 

Well It went pretty smooth all things considered. He pulled into the lot with me and It was this 18 year old kid with his dads truck. Once I saw the fear in his eyes it was hard to be mad. He actually said He thought I was gonna beat his A$$ when he saw me. I had at least 100 pounds on him! He was so scared.

 

 

What's this about dealer's painting? Do they have body shops they always use or something? This spring I have to get my side repainted for the key incident with the psycho ex-gf and I want the best match/finish available.

 

I made sure to find a body shop at a nissan dealer. I figured they would be the best at it not because they overcharge on everything but because I hoped they had sprayed my color before. So I called around and found one that had indeed sprayed my color.
