Like I said before...its hardly noticable. Its not like its black and white difference or anything. And besides that.....i didnt pay for it the first time either....well just the 500 deductible. My insurance took care of it.

wait...if insurance paid for it, why did u have them paint it at that shop? it would of been cheaper for you going to them privately (assuming they're cheap since your first bumper chipped and peeled off as u said). insurance should be taking care of this for you. you pay them for a reason and if my car got into a accident i would like my car to come back as how it was. then again...if u're satisfied with what you got....cool

Well, when they took the front Bumper off they found more damage. The right headlight housing was cracked, core support was cracked, had to get a new rebar, and etc. The total came out to be $3000 plus. So I went to my insurance and filed a claim that somebody in a parking lot backed up into my front bumper and ran. I only ended up paying 500 out of pocket because of the deductible.
So basically everything that was F-ed up before is all fixed now. The original owner was also a female.
So dont let women drive your car. I also had to replace the tranny as well when I got my Z. Not a suprise. I was lucky that was still under warrenty. Anyways I hope this clears up any confusions.

nah no confusion. i just hate it when insurance try to BS their customers. state farm tried to pull a fast one on me before a long time ago. they said they had a "good friend" that worked at a body shop and said they were good and what not and when we got the car back it was totally put together like crap. then u know...had to file a law suit and what not and that took forever but long story short....waste of time. just dont want the same thing happening to you thats all.
