well, that price for the bumper alone is rediculous. unfortunately with the scratches, if you can "feel" them with your fingernail, then yes they'll have to be repainted and depending on where they are on the door they'll have to blend it with other parts of the car to get it to match colorwise. depending on your deductible I wouldn't bother claiming it, you can find a MUCH cheaper bumper replacement elsewhere, and in all honesty now might be the time to go aftermarket anyhow, I did see a SMB ings bumper on craigslist you might wanna look into.

 

damn haters. Any sort of repairs on a z is going to be expensive unfortunately.

I just got my car back from the body shop last week after getting hit by a guy who ran a stop sign. Total damages almost $14k

 

Thought i would pass the word.

IIRC doesn't that particular NTB have an in ground alignment rack?

 

Yup it does have an in ground. I have the 5 yr. And have used it 3-4 times already. You can also transfer it to a different car if you sell the original car it was purchased for. But you can only do this one time.

 

Brandon moved to Cali...you can also ask for AJ

 

There, I fixed it. This is the way it was meant to be done.

that sucks same thing happened to a friend of mine not too long ago

 

hahah if that happened to me then I would be looking in to some custom paint
hrmmm

 

Wow, that sucks to have that happen on the Z.

You could almost have them turned into some kind of flamed graphic in the paint.

 

that's when I tell people I was driving so damned fast that the paint started to peel off the car.

 

Damn, I just saw some clips from the Hershel Walker MMA fight and he Kicked some A$$ !

He is either 50 or almost 50 ! And in some damn good shape for his age.

Anybody see the whole fight ?

 

If that happened to me, I be looking to tear some a$$ .40 hollow point !

There is NEVER any reason to jack someones property like that

 

haha I guess I see the brighter side of things

 

+1, I just get pretty sturred up when people work hard for what they have then have someone come along and just tear it up.

Need to work on the half glass thing I guess

 

rcasas83,

Sorry to hear that man...damm looks like you will need repaint the whole car..

 

now's a good time to think about respraying the whole car, unfortunately with where those scratches are there's gonna be alot of blending and whatnot.

 

Good morning DFW, how was everyone's weekend?

 

Happy February 1st

I had a great weekend.... slept in and watched a lot of TV.

Watched MJ's " This Is It " DVD.....and was actually kinda cool to see him in the rehearsal's for that show.
