Default [Help] My 350z is falling apart.

Sorry if this is the wrong section. Please move to right section if it is.

The right-side of my 350z has a loose thing that connects the front bumper to the car which is located under the tire.

And my car has a few scratches with dent.

Please look at the pictures, how can I fix these? Which bolts do I need to buy? What do I need to do.

And zipties, lol.
But yeah, like JCITY said, 10mm bolts (which is the size of almost every bolt on the car, lol) and the trim clips.
The fender liner you should be able to pop back in by just pushing it back and having it tuck into the fender. If it's really so bad though you could always just buy new fender liners which are only about ~$50.

As for the scratches and dent, you have two options. You could pick up a paint pen and try and cover it up, or you could leave it. If there's any chance that you'll be putting on an aftermarket body kit then you should just wait until you're ready to get that painted and have them do it at the same time, but if there's no chance of you ever getting an aftermarket kit, then just get them repaired whenever you think you're ready.

Sorry, I'm new to all this.

I just want to confirm if I'm buying the right things.

for the outside... no. just go to autozone or someplace and get the ones where the middle part comes out and then you insert the outter part into the splash sheild or whatever, and when you insert the middle portion it spreads out the other part in the panel..... make sense?

If I was going to go to the dealer, why would I bother posting here for help.

I see. So, the parts that I chose out from eBay aren't the right 10mm and trim clips I need? I'm going out today, I'll ask autozone about what I need. Thanks.

Don't get 10mm bolts. Those are far too large. IIRC they are a M5 or M6 bolt, but I don't remember the thread pitch.

And as for the plastic rivets, go to napa and get a bag of part number 665-2388.
