I recently discovered that the shop that repainted my front bumper, prior to a clear bra install, basically reattached my bumper without putting all of the screws back in. Some of the clips must have broken when they were removing the bumper and those a-holes didn't replace them. So I recently had to go to the dealer and special order a bunch of clips and screws and had to reinstall the bumper myself.

This explains why I am leary of body shops and plan to do any repairs myself.

So here is what happened:
I was backing out of a parking space and the stupid lady across from me in her lexus gx truck said she didn't see me because my car is too low. Anyway we smacked each other corner to corner on the drivers side. Now I need a new driver's side rear corner panel and bumper cover. I am hoping to find these parts from a z that was crashed in the front, have them painted and do the install myself.

Does anyone know of such a Z or maybe just direct me to a junkyard that might have the parts I need?

Or even direct to an inexpensive source for a new driver's side rear quarter panel and bumper?

 

have you checked actuall parts prices yet? Try www.mynismo.com for good prices (Performance Nissan) on OEM stuff.

Usually bumper cover and fender are around $100 each, so you may be better off w/new. The paint is the most expensive part Good luck on the repairs.

 

isnt the rear quarterpanel sheet metal?
