I feel bad for you bro but from the looks of it, you are in the "thick" of it in that lot. I mean by far away like the other guy said that means NO MANS LAND. I will not even park in any normal spot in a parking lot. If I can't get a spot with at least 2+ cars on each side I will not even park it. Call me OCD but the parking lot is where most of your BS damage happens. It's just downright ridiculous for someone to hit a car in a parking lot. You have a parked car and the driver has all the time in the world to stop and check the positioning of their vehicle. I would probably be in jail for beating that old lady's face in. Fvckin' unreal man. I hope it all works out for you.

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.

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!

YEa i will be calling the dealership tomorrow for some auto body advice. I am still going through all the paperwork, filing a police report, waiting to hear back from my insurance and setting up an appraiser to come by tomorrow. So not much of an update, but i will be speaking directly with the auto body manager about the blending process, what his procedure will be for my vehicle color, whether or not he has ever done this on another 40th which i doubt, and also what the policy is if i do not feel it was a proper match. ANY OTHER HELPFUL QUESTIONS would be helpful

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.

This isn't a Honda Civic., besides the OEM body panels aren't that expensive. Paint the whole car? I think not. There's no reason a quality shop can't do a perfect blended match. Can you tell mine's been painted from the doors forward including the hood? Thought not. In person the finish is better than OEM. Don't scare the guy!
