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

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.

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.

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