Sorry about your car Raf. It hurts to see it.

Sometimes I wondered if our 4th brake light actually makes people behind our car pay more attention.

Hey Bima. No. Nothing to do with the fog light. I've been watching the dude drive and he was doing something that distracted him. He was 60 feet away at least on a 40 that went to a full stop. Hurts to see it. I was cussing a storm until I cooled off. He was apologetic and admitted fault which helped me chill out.

damn bro i hope you are well and that you can fix your Z soon!

I am so sorry to hear about your miss fortune. I would have been raging too. You work so hard to get your car as near perfect as possible and then some jack wagon does something stupid. Well I hope he has insurance, and then it becomes the waiting game.

Thanks Carlos. It'll be a while because I want to get the best/fairest appraisal possible and the best shop for it.

Such a hassle to work on getting my car fixed. Numerous calls with the insurance reps and researching body shops to get the car done right. Have not started at all other than get appts with the appraisers and body shop (Cooks Collisions in Canoga and DTM Autobody in El Monte). Working on an amuse style CF bumper and skirt with Fly1 who I know is busy.

I have a brand new Sunline style skirt all CF still wrapped ready for sale. I am going in a different direction.

Until then, WELL ZED is not feeling well.

Zbrah · 01-06-2016, 02:25 AM

Just saw the pics

Sorry to hear Raf. I hope she gets fixed up and back on the road soon, with a new *** lift!

My car is going into the shop as too for a rear quarter panel fix. Stupid Socal drivers!

Zoren 370 · 01-06-2016, 05:09 AM

Raf try Carbon Signal, one of the best CF finishes Ive seen, makes fly1 fly away from being busy repairing returned CF kits. IMO

Hang in there buddy, I know it going to work out in the end and she will be better than she was before.

Dang Raf. I just saw the pics.

Hope you find a top notch shop!

Apoc370z · 01-19-2016, 05:34 PM

That is probably my biggest fear, hope everything goes well.

My car is all lonely at Auto explosion and needs a friend. wouldn't go to DTM but that's just my experience with them.
