on your youtube, or whoever that account belongs to, it states a gt wing is coming soon?
if true, your car will look like (youtube account name hyunsoo im) his Z, imho, i love it with the INGS GT WING, hyunsoo has that.

ive got some more questions to ask pertaining to parts and price, may i PM you?

Zeetah

it hurts looking at your car video..........

yeah i was on the fence about the amuse wing so i didnt pick it up when i got everything. i test fitted a GT wing a little while back and im still undecided. The INGs GT wing is one of the most expensive GT wings so im still not sure. the only difference between that a regular GT wing is the mounting bracket. it sits further back and i like the look, just not sure if its worth that price.

phil = Elite Concepts
barry = Velocity
harvin is just a friend who also owns a Z.

the damage was very superficial it turns out. it was a single control arm and just some body panels which are cheap. i didnt buy the body kit from Velocity, i have a lot of friends in the car scene and i had one overnighted from japan

as for the camera control its another friend. he runs a youtube channel... yeah he does stupid **** like shifting with one hand, controlling a camera with the other and steering with his knees while following me weaving through traffic lol he drives a G35

Hey Zeetah,

I'm the dude with the blue Z (that got smashed!)

Ummm as per "write off" I guess it all depends on your insurance? Who knows how it works... all I know is my damage is 24k and they are fixing it .... and I took it to an autobody shop of my choice - not theirs.... but when I told them I am taking it there they said thats fine they have done work with them before anyways...

I was also worried about the work and the paint job and all that other stuff that follows... unfortunately its too early for me to give any feedback as to their quality of work - I just signed the paperwork for them to start and they have to order all the parts bla bla bla - I am guessing it will take 4-6 weeks for them to repair it total....

The best advice I can give is talk to the body shop owner - make them feel good ... no lie (as corny as this may sound) I brought them some snacks ... lol if anyone knows what Samosas are ... you get like 4-6 of them for like $1 and everyone seems to love them.... so I bought $5 worth when I went in .... I mean I do that everytime I go to Nissan Dealership for my car and they always knock off the tax or something - so I spend $5 but get back like $20/30 in savings just for doing that...

Anyways I am going on a tangent - what I am saying is work with them. The shop I am going to, the owner agreed after the work is completed he will tow my car to the Nissan Dealership of my choice and pay for the full inspection - and that way I can feel all warm/fuzzy my Z was fixed the way it should be ....

I got everything in writing... maybe because I watch too much Judge Judy.... but better safe than sorry....

Sorry to hear that happened to you - I can relate... I miss my Z a lot ... and I'm stuck driving my moms Buick now.... well... at least it has A/M FM radio... lol... and a casette player!

Good luck!

Your paint will just flake off as soon as you drive off the lot.
