Default Still waiting

It's been about 3 weeks since my ZR was damaged at the dealership when I took it in for a recall (fuel hoses). One of the service advisers ran it into a curb or some such thing. Now I am wondering what is taking them so long. I know this is coming out of their pocket so I'm guessing they are working on the car when someone in the body shop gets some open time. Any thoughts on this?

Call them over and over. I had a similar issue, call them and make sure they're working on it because the dealer that was working on mine actually forgot they needed to fix a simple issue that took 3 weeks for me to recieve.

Spoke to the service manager, she informed me that they were waiting for the bumper to come in and it would only be a couple of more days. Not sure but I didn't come away convinced that things were happening with my ZR.

My experiences with this dealership have all been positive up until now. Looks like I going to have to lean on them a bit.

Sucks to hear that man, but dealerships are dicks like that.
Make sure they do a proper job!

BTW, what rims are those? They look good!

Call Consumer Affairs, it might help to expedite the process. They'll keep in contact with you until you're fully satisfied with whatever you're doing, at least that was in my experience (airbag light - got a new seat covered under warranty, consumer affairs helped expedite the item order).

I got a call from the GM yesterday, my ZR is expected to be completed today and he assured me I would be very pleased with the work.

The wheels are XXR 521's

Good idea, if I'm not happy about how the repairs look I will most certainly follow your advise. However, after speaking with the GM yesterday I am hopeful the quality of the work will be as promised.

Hopefully you're getting rid of that terrible looking front lip.

When the general manager first spoke to me about the repairs, he informed me they had to replace the front bumper and asked if it was okay to put back to stock. Not being that overly pleased with the look of the splitter I agreed. So yes, I am getting rid of the front lip

Looks to be an authentic Nismo V1 front lip.

I picked up the ZR today. It looks very good and stock. Now I will put on the mods I prefer. One thing the ZR does have is proximity sensors in the front bumper, reinstalled by dealership, has anyone else installed distance sensor, if so, do they work well?
