that sucks but actually, pretty lucky. lost a headlight, fender and bumper, but the hood didnt get hurt, and the lip looks pretty ok on the grand scheme of things.
might hang onto the bumper to put on each winter or even for trips to autoX if you do that. somethin you dont mind sliding into a curb or a cone with.
does look like you barely nicked the door though, that sucks, will they just bang that out? or did they say theyd replace that.

wow richie...even though it looks bad at least it was only your quarter panel..that was reaaaaaly close to all other parts on your car..unfortunately i wasnt lucky enough for my damage to stop at the fender
actually..i wish it was only my hood and bumper that got damaged cause i had a replacement for both of them waiting to go on
but of course it had to be my headlight and fender....im going for a quote today and from the looks of it they should be able to easiy pop out the door...my rim didnt get damaged ...at least i dont think it did...it was close but far enough
im actually going to take my car to the shop right now...if i decide to put the body kit on now then the car is going in the garage until it gets nice out...i ordered special canards for my esprit kit and i would hate to bust the bumper before they even got here
anyway...drive safe...and be good....

similar thing happened to me recently. I was trying to stop at a red light and the car just skid right thru. Luckily no1 hit me. Then I had to make a turn on the last street to get to my house. The car spun out and hit a mailbox. I was only going 10mph! I learnt my lesson. The Z is not worth driving in the snow. Its too unstable....Now if i had tire chains it would be a different story.
Sorry to hear about the accident. I too will be buying a body kit to replace my damaged front end. Good luck!
