so a couple weeks ago I was pulling out of a parking lot and I couldn't see if anyone was coming my way due to an SUV parked along the side of the street. so basically as my nose is farther out in the road than I could see, a guy in a neon speeds by and clips my front end. after a quick gut check I cringe at the thought of inspecting the damage. all I can see is my license plate spinning on end in the street just like in "back to future..." luckily the damage to the front end was minimal...oh and the other driver and my gfriend were ok as well:P it was pretty much limited to a 3 foot long surface scuff. definately not something that you could buff out with scratch remover, but along not deep enough that I had to replace the bumper. and since I was gonna have to repaint the front bumper, I figured I'd go ahead get my back bumper repainted (it had some impressions and scuffs on it) as well as treat my Z to a new veilside V1 lip (thanks to dsmal for selling me his extra lip). I think it turned out pretty good and it ended up costing me about $800 for everything.

damn neons

 

yeah...but the guy was cool about it. I just paid him $80 for the small scuff on his plastic door ding strip and he went on his merry way. oh and these pics are also the most recent since I put on my s-techs.
