I started to cry when I saw those pics, I had to run outside and check on mine to make sure she was ok. All better now. Sorry to see that, i beleive it was 15mph. Lots of damage though. Think of the momentum, mass and all that hitting just the hitch. ow

The rear quarter panel and structure is VERY expensive.

Someone said $1,500 . . . . . I'd say $4,500

Sorry

Haha, don't we all at one point or another. Good luck man. Don't worry about your car, insurance will fix it or pay it off and you can get another one. As long as no one was hurt and you're ok (physically )

Sorry about the accident. That is a considerable ding. Statistics show that 90 percent of 350Z accidents occur within the first 12 months of membership. You almost made it.

BTW what kind of tires?

depends what nissan is charging for a 350z quarter panel these days ..


last time I checked the nissan parts department thinks stuff is coated in gold ..


could be anywhere from 400 to 1500 for that quarter panel PART ONLY .. then you got labor, pull time, paint, etc


just gotta take it to a local body shop and they'll give you a free estimate

I had the passengers side rear quarter panel replaced on my Z, took 6 weeks in the shop. My Z was the runt of the litter in the shop, all Porsche's and way high end cars. It cost the other guys insurance company $4900.00 plus the $3500.00 I got for diminished value.


Good ruck

well there is your answer ....


and thats a very good idea to take it to a specialty shop that deals with higher end and foreign cars like mercedes, bmw, porsche, etc .. may take slightly longer, but a whole lot better quality then taking it to a body shop that works on fords, dodges, and chevy's

That is a respectable tire for snow, but, as you know, anything can happen in snow and ice.

I DTW I

Unbelievable it could cost that much....I have no experience with this but, when I looked at the pic I was guessing $400 to have your panel bent back to shape...WOW I was wrong.

SORRY!

I'm guessing the parking lot was covered in snow when it happened right?? I have summer tires on front but have had no problems driving the cleared roads, at all. I think snow and ice on the road is the biggest problem.

Haha, thats funny because last night I went and purchased a $500 handicam type from sony, nothing special but the best i could find knowing that I might want to return it if not happy without any questions asked. So we are using it today at a series of waterfalls and pools where many of us jump from the top to the pools below. Well, low and behold my GF decides lets see how far the camera can slide down into the water. I just remember looking at it sliding down and then sinking and thinking OH SH*T how am i going to return a product without the product in the box??? F*ck. lol. I straped on my goggles, had a guy watch me (encase undercurrents were more than I expected) and dove down to go get it. Murky and scary but well worth retrieving my ART pipe money. REWIND PLEASE. ha
