Unhappy Fixable or no?

Well I just got into a fight with a damn parking block and it whooped my Z's ***, literally. I just need to know, is it fixable? If so, where should I go? If not, who has a rear bumper they want to get rid of like yesterday? I can't bear to see my Z looking like that, not to mention I just got it.

lol damn that sux. its probobly fixable but probobly pricey as well. i dont know what the rest of your car looks like so i cant really give you advice if you have aftermarket sides/front just get a new rear bumper.

I'm working with the nismo replica so really all I need is an OEM and put the add-ons onto the OEM bumper cover. Here are more pics of my car. Any other rear bumper suggestions that will mesh well is also appreciated.

I would look out on the marketplace and the socal forum marketplace for some used OEM rear bumpers you can get for cheap.

just buy some super glue and glue that **** back on. There I fixed it. nah im just playing, you can go with aloh's route and buy a new bumper or i think.. it doesnt look to bad so it should be too expensive to fix.

Looking for OEM bumpers right now, but not so much luck. I don't know if it's fixable, the damage is pretty brutal when you actually look at it. It's torn, not just unsnapped so I don't know. Once I do find a bumper though, I'm going to have to find a good place to get it painted more than likely. Any suggestions?

sorry dood. i don't think it's fixable. with the oem being ripped... it's not like a fiberglass bumper where you just add a few layer in the back and bondo the front.

do what aloh said... just ignore wazhucks... he donno shieeet. hahaha

Nice Z, sorry about it getting hit.

Can you verify that it ripped through the bolts that were holding it?

No the actual bumper ripped at the seam where it has the bend, I'm pretty sure the bolts are still intact, I'll go check it out again in a bit, I'm trying to find me another bumper. =(

Contact DTM, maybe they have some extra OEM's lying around.

I remember them saying they had some front bumpers, not sure about rears though.

Does anyone know of any decent rear bumpers that mesh well with the nismo v2 front and sides? It's looking easier and less expensive to just get a rear piece.

If you are near us, I'd be happy to order you a new bumper!

i think the chargespeed rear bumper is turning into the next amuse or nismo v2 front bumper. seems like a lot of ppl are getting them these days.

Off topic but I saw you rolling on the 5 freeway recently. The reason why I noticed you because my friend sold those wheels to someone and I am assuming that person sold you this car. Sorry for the mishap but the car looks good.
