I just got back from the dealer/service center.

This is what they came up with:

They are going to replace all the damaged plastic pieces, They are going to replace the transmission cooler which he thinks it is an oil cooler :eek

Hopefully he orders me an oil cooler and installs it by mistake.

He measured the ride height on both sides and said they were equal (I must have been on a sideways hill when I looked at it)

He said there was no noticeable noise when driving the car and told me that this is a sports car and it is going to make noise.

I asked him if I could drive the other z and he was not to fond of that idea. I will ask again when I go back to get these parts installed

I also attached a copy of my alignment it shows a before and after. The front right toe was way out of spec.

this just shows that somebody hit something hard and now I have to live with it.

Also to I asked him how this could happen and he said he doesn't want to speculate. I replied this happens from the car sitting on the lot and not moving.

i would have them grive you a new car not that one because what they did was not legal. All the repairs they are going to have to do to you car will instantly drop the resale value. Just repainting the bumper will reduce resale.

I looked at my alignment sheet a little harder and looked at the specs in the fsm

It says the front camber should not be greater than .55* from side to side mine is .6*. Is this fixable? Is this bad?

Also my front right caster is 4.4* the fsm says a min of 4.42*.

I am upset because I have had horriable alignment problems with other cars and I am not about to deal with it again.
