A tractor trailer bump into my Z and caused some body damage. It looks pretty bad and I'm concern that the body shop is going to do a good job. What you guys think it should be the proper way of fixing this hit?

 

looks like rear bumper, taillight, hatch, and fender will do the trick.

The thing I'd watch is your gaps around the new rear fender. Make sure they are consistent...

Sorry to see you got hit.

 

Find a good body shop- maybe from a recommendation here- and you'll be fine.

 

any GOOD body shop should make easy work of that...just a few new body parts and your good to go it looks like.

 

yeah, he fuxored you up, but could have been worse. parts mentioned above with a respray on the back half your car. Probably 5-7k they'll stick your insurance company for. The body work isn't what i was concerned with after a minor accident, it was the re-re's putting on the paint. I know the Z's paint job sucks, but people just dont do like the factory.. gotta watch for snake eye's and color blending mistakes. You think it would be easy enough to put in the code and blend the paint, but people mess it up with our DB color.

 

Time for a carbon fiber hatch!

 

As said above and watch out the shop doesn't try to bondo the hatch to make a buck!

 

So you guys think that every body part that got damage needs to be replace and not even attempt to fixed it. Do you guys think the insurance is going to agree in replacing everything.

 

what about insurance? if it costs too much to fix maybe hit up you're insurer for it... At least now you can get the 06 LED tails sheesh!
