that sucks man =(

Quick question though, $8,100 for what? You can get a used set of the 370z sport wheels with tires for 2k or less. You can get brand new volks with high quality tires for 5k or less. I can understand if maybe there was damage beyond just what was stolen, but if that was for the wheels and tires then ouch...

the Gollila locks will slow them down so I suggest an after market alarm with an ajustable shock sensor that you can turn on and off when you need to use it or if the cars near the house add a video camera with low light visibilty that will turn it on if someone gets to close or a dog or security lights or sleep in the car with a 12 gauge and wait for them to come back

His info says Base, so i suppose he bought the sport wheels from someone who upgraded theirs. That might be part of the cost on the $8100. Just a thought....

Man, that totally sucks, there is nothing in this world worse than a thief. I wish I had some sage advice for you but thiefs typically get what they're after. I just hope for you that it doesn't happen again.

Be careful. I read some where that 7 out 10 places that get burgled, get burgled again after the insurance has replaced the goods.

Yo man... just set up a big box w/ a camera like thing on it... it doesnt have to be a real camera - just make it obvious that someone is watching ....

acceptable in texas (shoot someone who is stealing your car) dont think anywhere else.. i betcha where you live you whack some swine that are stealin your wheels you get charged with manslaughter..

as to the camera.. sure .. cops will take the vid and file it away with all the others..

unfortunately.. its a garage you're needin.. nice car out on the street in many areas is just asking for theft or being keyed etc...

New set of 19" sport wheels + new set of Bridgestone Potenza summer tires + new set of TPMS sensors + new set of rocker panels + Nissan labor + paint labor + all supplies + tow fee + tax = $8100

ouch, ya the rocker panels aren't cheap. did your insurance at least cover you?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that here in NY shooting someone for tampering with my car would surely land me in jail.

I will be sure to look into one of those fake camera things in addition to getting an aftermarket alarm when one becomes available.

Thanks for everyone's advice. FYE, I will post pics of my car after the incident occurred as soon as I get them uploaded to my computer.

My insurance covered everything minus my $500 deductible. So, for those of you who hate paying car insurance, you might want to change your mind. :bowrofl:

good to hear...$500 is not bad for all of that getting replaced.

Out of curiosity, do your new rocker panels paint match better than from the factory? PW side skirts look quite a bit darker than the rest of the car due to the material getting painted, but a paint shop will likely be able to match it must better.

Yes! I actually thought they made a mistake when I first saw them on the car, but then I realized the paint matches the rest of the car better than before.

damn, someone steal my wheels then, it bothers me everytime I look at the car...

Glad to hear everything has been fixed. :iagree: that would've been a nasty bill without insurance..
