Default Aftermath of being run off the road...

Down here in Houston (Home of some of the worst drivers) I was going down a road when a huge Tahoe cut from the far lane into the lane next to me and proceeded to move into my lane forcing me to crap in my pants. As I crapped in said pants I also instinctively moved towards the curb and scraped the curb pretty bad. Images are below...

I am 90% sure I need to get a new wheel and probably take the front bumper to the shop.

Does anybody know where I can get a new wheel in Houston for a decent price? Also does anybody know a good shop in Houston that I can get this work done at?








As bad as that was what was worse was that the Tahoe sped off as I followed and then ran a red light to avoid me. If that wasn’t enough I then proceeded to go to dinner with my wife, when I return I see that somebody has ripped off the Z in 350Z on my car. I also noticed that the @$$hole decided to use a crowbar and now just use a non-destructive tool. That being said, what should I do about this? Will touch-up paint even work for this?





Thanks All!

hit and run ftl. sorry that happened. hope he rots in hell, and the a$$ that ripped off your "Z" can rot in the same spot as the tahoe douche. maybe it's time to get new rims, new front bumper, and fairlady badge? =D

edit: wait, you need the stock "Z" when rebadging the fairlady right? or does it come with the Z? .. i forget.

hey an idea is to go get ur wheels power coated " painted " black. that may be the only way to do it man. yeah paintin is cheaper than new wheels but yeah there is nothin u can do about that grind that happened, i don think. i could be wrong but the paint seems like the best way to go.

sorry man.
