Default Just got out of the movies and came out to this :(

Just left the movies and I come to the parking lot to this

Filed a claim with my insurance company because the person that hit me was nowhere to be found!

She's a 2017 PW base with only 15500 miles on her. Crappy thing is I just got her 15k maint service today too.

Is PW going to be a pain to match?





Got my car back yesterday 04/05/18. They did an amazing job!

Go back to the movie theater to see if they have any surveillance cameras. It may be worth a shot. Sorry to hear about this.

It's the bumper, Spoiler.

Yes, a crappy shop will have difficulty. PW is 3 stage and difficult to match. Good shop should be able to take care of you though. Personally, I would just pay for the touch up myself as I don't feel its enough damage to file an insurance claim. But that's just my

Yea, I spoke with the theater manager and they don't have cameras where I parked.

I did file a claim already. Just waiting for them to send someone out to look at it.

I assume they would have to repaint the whole bumper?

Insurance probably won't pay for that. They'll likely just touch it up and blend it. If you're not happy with it, you make them do it again until they get it right.

That's probably a better route than repainting the whole front bumper ya? I would like to keep the rest of the bumper's factory paint if possible.

It's probably easier for them to blend a small spot within a panel vs blending entire panels (e.g. bumper to fender).

But the Nissan factory paint is not anything to write home about. The clear coat is thin and pretty weak. A good shop would likely use a better clear coat. But that in itself is not a sufficient reason to repaint the whole bumper.

Sorry to hear that happened. Always park far away from the herd and walk a bit further. People just don't care, guarantee you the person knew they hit you. A decent person would have left their info under your wiper or elsewhere.

This is why,

1. My Z is not my daily

2. If I park it in a public area it's faaar away and next to a curb. Never park it with other cars.

You sure you got that from the movie house?

Did you go to a grocery store prior to that?

Looks like a grocery cart hit to me or someone keyed your car using a rock or any type of metal object.

No ****ing respect for other people's stuff. That's what bothers me most. Even if we're talking about a Civic. You spent something on it. This isn't the wear and tear you're supposed to accept.

I had a close call with someone nudging my license plate in a parallel area. Gave me like no space to exit. F*** that guy. Anything to fit in his space, eh?

It's the kind of stuff that make you to think in that ugly snobby way — like, you're too good to be at certain places with your car because the standard of literal class can get real low.

Either way, I always park far no matter what.
