My new Z got rear ended!

BuckeyeZ · 01-26-2016, 07:17 PM

I know it doesn't seem like it now, but the damage doesn't look that severe. My guess is a new rear fascia and probably a new crash beam underneath. Hard to say until the fascia is removed......

It doesn't appear to be any damage to the fenders, which would be more complicated to repair. Looks like the hatch is good too. I think it looks skewed due to the fascia being shifted.

Let's us know how the repairs go....hope to see you back on the forum soon!

Sorry to see the damage OP. Good thing is now you can upgrade your rear bumper to the NISMO bumper or any of your choosing.

You mentioned being sore (which is bound to happen when you're rear-ended). Make sure their insurance pays for any medical/chiropractor bills incurred.

On that note, I'd recommend going to a chiropractor. I got rear-ended 30 years ago and went. Within a few months, everything was back in place where it should be. My neck and back were messed up.

Sorry to see this though. It's bad enough when you've had one for a few years, but a few weeks is rough.

I did, hope to get better soon with the treatment.
Thank you TreeSemdyZee
