Nice to see another fellow yellow Z around. Sorry to hear about what happen. Hope you find out somehow.

 

^^^This.

I was going to say the same thing until I saw your reply. Probably not a dualie as the wheel marks come together in at the end as seen in the first picture. Also the tire tracks seem really far apart for a dualie.

But I definitely agree that it looks like it was intentionally pushed back. Not collided with. The nature of the damage and remnants of the taillight plus the lack of skid marks seem to suggest this.

 

Bodywork turned out well. Fit and color match are spot on. Thanks to Bob Bell Nissan, Baltimore and State Farm for the hassle free fix. Dropped off the Z and picked up a rental. 7 days later dropped off the rental and drove the Z home. Out-of-pocket cost $250.

NOTE FOR THOSE WITH OR CONSIDERING DISCOUNT AUTO INSURANCE: My premium is $1,048/year. Considerable for someone born in 1949. Still, you get what you pay for.

 

looks great!! glad its all worked out and looking like new.

still sucks you have to pay 250 for someone else to be an *******

 

Congrats, Glad it's fixed. Good job on the color match. I was rear ended last year in my dd and as hard as they tried, couldn't match the color of the body to the bumper.

 

This is still a new car, so the paint hasn't faded much if any at all. Color matching is much easier on newer cars.

 

wow, repairs turned out great. Looks like brand new in those pics. Still hope they catch the bastards who did it though.

 

my dd was new as well....

 

Yellow being one of the hardest colours to match, they've done a great job. You almost couldn't pick that unless you knew.

 

looks like something big pushed ur car.

 

That's what I was thinking. If there was a sudden impact the bumper would have more damage. The damage that I see on that rear bumper looks like someone intentionally nudged or accidentally pushed the car. It can be that a snowplow or garbage truck or some kind of maintenance vehicle got too close to your car and grazed/pushed it.

I would look for your paint on utility, maintenance, and co-worker vehicles. If you suspect a maintenance type vehicle, then you should be able to find out what services or maintenance was done on that day or night and hunt down who performed said service and which vehicle was used. You can easily narrow down the possibilities.

Brainstorm and process of elimination.

 

repairs came out great david! hope no one messes with your sexy car anymore

 

Repairs came out great. Glad everything went your way (minus the incident in the first place).

 

Hard to believe that was a plow, I would imagine there would be far more damage from the plow itself. Looks like someone purposely pushed the fkn thing.

 

The 370 looks great David!

 

Good to see the 370z come out okay davidv! Paint match looks great.

 

Looks good.

 

It always sucks to see a hit and run.

Glad this turned out to be a relatively easy ordeal.

 

looks great!!! now put her away in the garage for winter, anyone driving a Z in winter weather is insane.
