Default My Naked 350Z

Got hit by a Metro Bus that ran a red light in downtown Los Angeles. Both front fenders, hood and front bumper are being replaced. Here is what my N/A Z looks like without them. I think these pics are just fascinating. pic 1:

Ah memories of when a Ford Ranger ran a red light and took out my 03 Chrome Silver Z. Course my frame rails where mangled as if someone took a sledge to them for a good hour but the idea is the same. Sorry to hear about your loss I hope you get the car back as quick as possible.

P.S. Nice rims

Wow, a week before I picked up my Z at the end of June some PUTA ran a red light in Newark, NJ and she hit me and someone else in my 1998 Toyota Corolla as I was going through the intersection. The custom fiberglass front end was shattered and the carbon fiber hood got bent a little but held up well compared to the damage on the front bumper. Idiots.....peace all

Hey, at least you've got it at a decent shop. In the pictures I see a Porsche 911 variant, and a Jaguar XK-8. Not bad company!

kcobean -

You are very observant. My 350Z is at "The Golden Hammer" paint and body shop in West Los Angeles. It is the official body shop of Beverly Hills Porsche and Hornburg Jaguar/Rover. They do nice work. They recently repaired my S4.

Pretty clean cut of the front end. At least you dont have to replace those nice rims.
