^ awesome, see this is a perfect example.......
cause once installed and car is on the ground you have to see if you like the height....
if not, you have to jack the car back up, remove wheels and discount coilover from the bottom mount point and turn it X number of times (ON ALL 4 COILOVERS) then reinstall all 4 wheels, and down jack the car again and see if the height is better or if you want to go raise or lower again.....
this is the part where you can learn how to do this, cause later down the road you can do it on your own if you chose to raise or lower the car more...

new in dfw
Hey guys new z owner in dfw area. Not really a new owner ive had my z for about 5 months now. Ok, here is my story i work at Texas Nissan Of Grapevine as a sales rep. I love my car more than anything else in the world and on my way to work about a week ago some cell phone talking ***** hit me then after i get to work and im about to leave and go on lunch i take a look at my front bumper and go WTF apparently someone hit me while i was at work and messed up my front bumper. Now i always look at it like the glass is half full and i figure ok so for about 1k more than what insurance is probably going to pay out i can just get a body kit put on and paint matched however, I havn't got a clue of any good reputable body shops in the area that will put on a body kit. So any help or suggestions as to what body kit (if I do get one seeing as I can get OEM parts for practically invoice) and what shop to take my car to (whether with or without a body kit) because i quite frankly dont want my car to go to a OK shop it deserves better than that.
thanks for the input and im sure ill be on here alot more.

Body kits = it's all about personal preference and how you're going to mod your car, so only you can decide
Body shop = https://my350z.com/forum/texas/21056...xperience.html
I think there are other threads that talk about body shops, but the above contains majority of them (or it should).
