Default Boyfriend wrecked my roadster. Need new rear bumper. HELP!

I have a 2007 enthusiast roadster. Auto. Boyfriend wrecked it last night and now i need a new rear bumper and right side panel behind the door. Any ideas what models/years would work? I am going to try to spend as little as possible on the parts. Any help is greatly appreciated

To the OP, why don't you just go to your nearest Nissan dealer and price the parts out? They can look up the part numbers and give you the exact price. Then you can shop around with several OEM suppliers like Slidegood or Courtesy Nissan.

Anyways, The rear bumper isn't difficult to replace, but the rear quarter panel can be a little more tricky - and pictures would really help us identify your options.

And I have to say that from your original post, I just assumed you were a dude with a life partner. Now I realize that there's a likelihood that you're a female and this thread will soon fill up with salivating car guys trying to help you out.

So on that note, I should have said this to be clear:

pics of the car?

I have changed my profile pic to the damage, but for some reason it wont let me attach. I will keep trying but thats all ive got for now. Haha and yes i am a female with no car knowledge, just figured a website like this would be better than trying to go through other options. Thank you all for the replies. If you have any other comments or anything please feel free to let me know!

One more question to anyone with a moment, what would you estimate the cost of repairs? Just a guess?

Shouldn't the BF be doing all the leg work to get this fixed? Either way craigslist for a bumper! The body panel damage is where the money in labor might pile up!

In for new boyfriend

Checked your album for the picture - Silver roadster wrecked, and black coupe with some crazy hail damage. I'm going to have to ask you and your bf to please not come near my car. I think that Z's may have some innate allergic reaction to one of you?

That rear quarter panel damage is not going to be cheap to repair based on the picture. What did he hit?

I ask, because that damage is in a pretty weird spot - maybe he was practicing for some Thanksgiving drifting until the back quarter decided to get up close and personal with a street light?

Tail light replacement needed too. There goes a couple hundred bucks. Possible exhaust problems as well.
