Default Damaged Z

Well as the title says last night was a bad night. I went over to a friends house to go watch the soccer games (Brazil V Ireland) and (Mex V USA) one thing leads to the other next thing i know a bunch of people are there and playing beer-pong. I end up leaving at like 3:30am as i driving back to my place i notice it sounds like spring is blown on my left front...as i get here to my Apt's to check the front left i see it , someone backed up into the left front fender and messed the crap out of it and a lot of the paint is chipped and is dented. Then the whole little "gap" under the left headlight is also chipping and the corners where the screws are on the sides seem to also have some minor damage. To top it off it was a girl-friend of mine that is i would consider her a good friend . Ok anyways can someone point me in the right direction for a shop that does good work/matches the paint??? I'll post pics later today...

Sorry to hear that.

I know places in Houston, but I'm sure there are body shops closer to where you live.

Jack's Paint Place in Converse did an awesome job fixing my Z. They were able to match my Daytona blue paint perfectly.

Same here... when i had my Civic my dad and i drove it to el paso to see the family...

i was parked in the street on my uncles side... (within 12 inches from the curb) the street he lives on is wide enough to be a three lane road (two directions and a turn lane)

this lady that lives right across to me somehow managed to back up right into my car denting the left rear fender... I had just bought the car too!!! bright red in the middle of daylight... how can you miss it!!!

i didn't hear it, my aunt comes back in the house and tells me someone hit my car... i thought she was joking... i went out there and the lady's mother was there telling me that her daughter was too embarrassed to come and tell me...

then tried to say that it was my fault because i was parked facing the wrong direction on the street... I was like WTF??? then you would have just hit the other F-in side... whats the difference... You Still hit my car... dumb B****

anyways... her daddy gave us the money to get it fixed after haggling with him... cause he wanted us to take it to the cheapest place i could find... i said... sorry you hit my car so either you pay for where ever i go or we'll claim it on your insurance... f-in jerk!

sorry for the thread jack, just saying i know how ya feel... good luck on getting her fixed...
