Well I was at my sons track meet today and I went out to get some camping chairs that I had when I noticed a big azz hole on the front of my Baby.

Seemed ugly but it just looks like bumper only damage. Let me know what you guys think. I am thinking of tottaling everything that I need to fix it on my own or just my insurance handle it.

You sir have some good luck, from the pics above seems like they missed the headlight and the hood (barely). Wont cost an arm and a leg for sure, pickup a used bumper and go to a good shop for paint. shouldn't be more then 600 bucks for everything if you want to DIY. However personally I would go through insurance and get everything brand new the cost as you can imagine will also be higher but hey insurance is covering it!

Camping chairs fit in the Z??? Back on topic, that totally sucks. Hate to hear stuff like that.

If you do it yourself, you might take the opportunity to buy an aftermarket front bumper that does not have those stupid catfish fangs ;) It'd really improve the image of your car.

Sucks that it happened, but you are soooo lucky that it did not bend the hood or damage the headlights in any way. Did the dumbass that did this leave a note? Or was it more likely some foolish kid your son's age?

More reason why I never park my car in parking lots.

JC-Nismo 03-07-2015 04:16 PM

If you noticed any kind of pick up truck or SUV parked in front of you then that's who hit you definitely!!!

Where exactly do you park when driving your car?

i suppose if you want to change the front bumper to another design, now would be a good time. sorry to see this.

Looking I don't see any other issues I did notice a small scratch on the inside of the hood. I will take pics later you can't tell or see it. I probably will go through insurance to get this fixed.

The good news is that I had a lot of chips on the bumper and some on the hood. I might be able to get it painted to.

I was also thinking about an amuse kit but I'm sure the I insurance will not say the damage is worth 2k.
