I'm sure all will turn out well..one other thing for the OP to watch out for would be the insurance company..they will try to settle this as cheaply as possible...the impact area is large but not severe...they might try to just pay for a repair of the sheet metal using fillers...make sure u find a shop that will replace the panels..the bodyshop might have to step up to the adjuster for you.
|
Haha..one other thing for the OP..u can call ur ins com n initiate the claim..take it to any shop u want..your ins company will attemp to subrogate all expenses from the other party including rental, deductible,etc...

FIY you can't get a new rear quarter panel over the rear wheel it's one piece. The other pieces are readily exchangeable hell I got a pair of extra skirts if you want them, they're red but you can repaint them. Hopefully there are no dings or dents in the rear quarter panel because those would have to be worked out.
|
Nissan doesn't sell quarter panels?...hopefully they do as well as the door skins...some companies will only sell entire shells which is complete BS...it'll be extremly difficult to convince the ins co to pay for a whole shell instead of a skin.
|
I've had the opportunity to take apart my Z and look at it pretty closely. The rear quarter panel is not an individual piece. It can only be replaced by some serious cutting. Concerning the door, I guess you could only buy the skin but when I took my door apart it seems really well put together, I don't think you could get the same sort of "build quality" changing just the skin, you're probably going to need a new door, lol OP get in touch with me if you need some oem replacement parts ie. door and skirts.
|
Damn that's not good...hopefully the shop will be able to work it all out..

Nissan paint matching is some of the worst I ever seen. Painting the whole car might have to be an option??? Possibly?

Wow, that really does suck. Hard to believe she ran the entire length of the car before she realized she was just " a little too close." Looks like she's played bumper cars before, there is pre-existing damage on her rear bumper!
It looks like you were parked in a shitty spot to begin with (shopping cart floating around the front of your car) No way the entire car will need to be repainted, any good body shop/painter can blend the new panels in with the old, and just shoot new clear. No need to try and get a new one...its a 40th anniversary and all but its no Enzo. Please post pics of the damage! |
I just had a horrible body shop experience where my deductible was less than what I had to pay for my TRD celica, my TRD spoiler was egged, and that was fine body shop dented my hatch, broke the spoiler, ruined the window wiper and enough overspray to spray on every child in ethiopia. However, from this I'm scared to take a car to a body shop, and that was the most reparable one in town, **** butte mt shops

sorry to see this cunno's. i would call your dealer for advise on which bodyshop to use and have your insurace claims adjuster stop by at the shop. |
holy crap. is this for real?
i am speechless. were you hit by a blind driver? |
I am with Mod on this any good reputable shop can blend and match the paint. Most dont know this but 60% of my panels have been blended and repainted with Pearl White!!! this is a 3 stage paint which is much more difficult to blend just like the anniversary addition. Trust me if you find a good shop you will never know it was even damaged!!! I now have one shop I go to for life! Artcraft worked on my s2000, my lexus, my dad's avalanche, many of my friends cars and my 370z and everyone of them came out flawless!!! They are now one of my sponsors and do all my bodywork!

IMO, that bitch deserves to be in the morgue right now. This is a crime against all that is right and wrong. If she does this in a PARKING LOT of all places, WTF does she do on the road?!?
Omg after seeing this, I'm totally flipping out man, i feel so sorry for you and your Z. I honestly hope everything works out well for you and that rat-faced blind/deaf granny dies of a heart attack real friggin soon. |

Couple things to be aware of... I just had my GTO totaled by someone running a red light.
Always call the police... expect the other driver to lie. Be careful going through your own insurance as you may lose the ability to claim diminished value. Its usually in your policy that they won't pay it. However since you have no agreement with her insurance, you have a better shot of getting them to pay it. |
Wouldn't GAP cover that anyway? I'm assuming since he bought a sports car that he has GAP insurance.
