Default Before and After.......
Well I've seen a few threads on here of everyone's build and thought I could/should share mine. I previously had the Nismo V2 Carbon Spoiler, and a carbon diffuser that I have no idea who made it (bought it off another member). About 2 months ago I got t boned by some idiot who took a stop sign and the whole right side was damaged. After going back and forth with the other guys insurance company for about a month. I got fed up and filed the claim through mine. Although I was livid it was a blessing in disguise. The car was actually going to go into the shop for a new paint job and kit already and I actually ended up benefiting from all of this. Well enough with the chit chat. Here are some images.

Since the car is already getting worked on I decided to just go ahead with a full color change, Nismo V2 front, sides, and rear add ons. I'm also getting the wheels rebuilt to add an extra inch to the lip (from 5"-6"). I also decided to black out my headlights and take the paint off the rears. I'm looking for an interior guy to re-upholster my seats. If anyone knows a good guy in the SoFla area please let me know. What are your guys thoughts?

Why didnt the insurance pay to have the quarter panel replaced instead of filling it up with 20lbs of bondo?

They need to tape/plastic off the interior of your car before they ruin your seats and interior. I'd be pissed.....

It's simply uncalled for and the inside of your car IS NOT for storage of other parts.

+1 with all the comments, looks like they're making a mess with your car. It seems like you probably don't care since seats & wheels will be redone but I'd still have them taken care of(covered or removed)

this is true. any good shop will not do this. i did a full paint job as well and i would come to the shop every other day to check on progress and it wasn't like that.

damn man this is exactly the same accident as mine except mine was on the driver side. good luck man and check the door aliment before signing any thing check any window leak " u need to be on a highway or so driving at least 50-60" they will show up if there is a leek some where. Go over the front bumper fitment and fenders. I think deleting the side emblems would look sick. any way keep updating wana see how it ends up hopefully will end up nice.

Based on those photos and the OP's lack of response at the Z community's outcry, it makes me think he is just trolling us. Anyone else get that feeling?
