^Well, thanks for for being Glad! I will just say one thing, I obeyed all the laws and drove like a safe driver.
Here is an update on the car, it took a month to get fixed, the whole bumper was replaced and some panels needed to be replaced underneath the car, as well the exhaust was replaced. Also, after getting my exhaust installed at S & R performance here in Tampa, FL, I decided to have them change my Oil, well that was an adventure of it's own. The Oil filter was very hard to take out, the piping from the Turbo was too close to it, once off, to put a new one on was impossible without disturbing the piping, so we decided to install an Oil Filter Relocation kit, Bobby at S & R was very cool in trying to locate one around town so that I would not have to wait till the next day and leave the car over night, he called a bunch of places and finally we found a used one, but when we tried to put it on it did not fit, so he overnighted a Greddy one. I came in today and Taylor installed the kit. The car runs great, there is a little oil seep coming from the Oil Pan we belive, we are not exactly sure at the moment, but we will address it soon as it is very minor and does not need to be fixed right away. Here are some Photos of the Z after the repairs, the Oil Filter Relocation Kit and some other shots from under the car.

Bobby, Taylor and pretty much everyone over @ S&R are awesome!
How well did they match the paint?
It looks perfect from the pics.
I had my front bumper repainted when they put
the new rear bumper and painted it.
With PPW the factory paint had two shades, body
color to bumper color. I did not want to have three
shades of white...so I had them respray the front with
the rear, and I think it looks way better than before
They color matched the PPW almost perfect to the body.
