uncalled for...

 

no, I generally don't drive over islands...I was just trying to wrap my brain around the gas station being at fault. nothing personal.

 

Honestly I asked a question and everyone seems to have uncalled for responses.... I am not trying to be a dick here and I think my request is genuine. There are now pics up of the car and I feel like the damage is minimal. Personally if I had and 07+ and wanted a Nismo front bumper and sides I would be all over this. Like I said before.... What is a fair price?

Understood.... It was not maked and was the same color as the rest of the parking lot.... You could not see it and it is all cracked from people driving over it... It even has tire track through it from where someone did it before the concrete was even dry.

Chris

 

you're absolutely correct. my response had nothing to do with what you should ask for the minimally damaged pieces. I was just interested in why the gas station was willing to repair the car...was the island difficult to see or something?

EDIT* asked and answered...

 

pics of Island of Destruction?

 

55-60 percent of it's current retail value since there is no visible damage...

 

You could not see the island because the parking lot was all paved with the same color pavement and the idlasd was the same also. The sun was down but it was not ocmpletely dark yet so it made it even tougher.

Parts are $2,100.00 and being that it is already painted should that matter?

Chris

 

I too am confused now...

 

k, that was funny. it's my fault. i took the thread in a completely wrong direction.

I'd say like a grand or so....

And it's not even that bad... your lip is just going to get beat up over time anyway. I'd rather keep the OE bumper with the factory paint.

 

I understand it isnt that bad but still they are at fault here and it really pisses me off the way that the gas station handled the whole thing so yes it is either gonna get fixed or I am gonna get a check. So I wanted to know what price i should sell the old stuff for....

take the money and leave the car alone,buy some go fast parts! and get over it.

 

he won't drive it fast, he's worried about show not go!

 

I heard that the front and rear bumpers are a real pain in A$$ to take on and off. I had to have my back bumper resprayed a while back and the guy who did it told me it was brutal becaus you needed special Nismo clips to attach it with, and they were very tough to get, because they insisted he proved I was an actuall Nismo owner (which is actually a good thing).

But he also told me the factory paint is much better than any respray because they can use more durable chemicals due to laxer pollution laws at factories compared to body shops.

 

no, they are very easy to take off... just follow the DIY for the rear bumper (there are no special nismo clips, lol), as far as the front bumper, I didn't even have a DIY in front of me, I just read the DIY briefly and took it off without problems.
