Smile New Z owner from Oregon

Just got my 07 Z with 60k miles. Got it wrecked, hit in the back.
Won the car yesterday at an auction from Florida, already picked up a fresh bumper today and looking to get some taillights too.

Here is a pic of the Z:

I am not 100% sure, but I need to change the bumper cover, straighten out the trunk, 2 taillights, and get the fenders done. Lots of body work. No mechanical issues. Carfax are great on this car! Regular maintenance performed at dealership, original miles, etc.

welcome to another local!

i'm certain your spare tire well is dented up pretty badly, and probably the rear "frame", i quote frame because there technically is no frame as our car is a unibody.

regardless, good luck with your fix. Precision Auto Body in Beaverton does GREAT work if you're looking for a good body shop.

Thanks everyone for the welcome!
I have a body shop that will fix it.. I am trying to get it done before September because I will be out of town in August.
Do you know where I can get taillights in PDX area?

Also, since I am new to the site I don't know much about Z's so I am getting educated. I have a picture of the engine bay, can anyone tell me what kind of cai is on the car, or any parts that aren't stock?
