You just dont seem like the type of person to take your expensive, well put together car, and show off or something and drive over a curb LOL

Not to mention the fact that your car is so damn low, and those curbs are so damn high. You wouldnt go over, you would just smash your bumper/intercooler/whatever else is tucked in there.

When? It could have been someone else, I was rolling around in a V8 240z last summer but rarely took it out.



This is mine as it sits now, VG30ET in it.

well the Z is still at the body shop getting an estimate(been there since Monday). The guy is having a hard time finding parts I guess.

My question is, can I request or demand that they only use new factory parts and not used parts off of other salvaged Z's? or do I even have any say in the matter?

Yes, you can always demand it through your insurance claims adjuster.

My mom works for Allstate, and she says used parts are the way to go. Because when you get a used part, its coated in something from the factory, to protect it against snow etc.

When you buy a new part, its not coated in that, its just a door. Then they paint it and vuala, no more protection.
