, did he feel as though you were tailgaiting him ? Up here in NY people will slam on their brakes to try and make you hit them if you are to far on their a$$. Not everyone, but if someone thinks they are tough, and has no regard... Anyway, so sorry to hear about that man, i would be so angry.

Sorry to see that. Looks like your Z emblem poped off from the side. Is the hood bent?

Did you get the license plate number? He fled the scene of the accident.

Damn, looks almost the same as my car did when some dumba$s backed into me.. Only my hood was untouched and my headlight only had a scratch in it.

BTW, it cost about 4,800 to fix it ( Quality job, and blended hood + door even though the car is black ) Also shaved the front badge off which I think you shoudl do as well

Oddly, many people think I have an aftermarket front end and all I did was shave the badge, and get clears... Have gotten many positive comments.

I've heard a similar story from one of my friends, but no wreck. She was on the left lane, and another driver was on the right lane. She wanted to get on the right lane, but the driver kept pacing next to her. When she had the opportunity, she tried to get on the right lane. When her car was in the middle of changing lanes, the other driver slammed the brakes for no apparent reason. My friend quckly hit the brake as the person behind nearly hit her. Then the driver up front started moving again as if nothing happened.

well... as much as it was confusing why the **** head fled, remember i hit him so maybe it is better he did;I also some shm**k stole my side emblems like 2 weeks ago the crash didnt go that far back to pop it off. if anyone knows wheter they think i should just get a stock bumper, or the nismo replica from performance nissan chime in and let me know. Also anyone have a headlight???

Sorry to be off topic, I notice you had your tranny replaced. I have just as many miles as you are right now. I'm having trouble getting into 3rd when revs are high, and most of my tranny problems occur when it's still a lil cold outside. How did the dealer check to confirm you needed a replacement?

Headlights are now under $700 each from Performance Nissan Parts.

New bumper? It would be be nice to get something different, right?
