Rear Ended!

kidkotic2001

KettanLadd, I just did a quick search on the courtesy parts web site and I was able to look up the Rear fender. I am pretty sure that they can replace it and I cant see why they would have to cut it out.

Here is the link so you can check it out.

The fact that they list a rh and lh item means that it's a replaceable item. Don't let them bs you on the repairs.

I feel your pain, I bought my 2012 Z Roadster on Jan 2, and some idiot pulled out in front of me this past Wednesday. My car will be in the shop for the next 3 to 4 weeks being repaired. His insurance is covering everything since he made an illegal turn across 2 other lanes of traffic.

Thanks for the advice guys, really appreciate it!

Spoke to Nissan earlier today and made them agree to replacing the panel.

They said there was a lot of damage to the floor and to the center part of the exhaust. I am going to the dealership tomorrow to see the full estimate. Fingers crossed the insurance will give the approval tomorrow and they can get my car into the queue of jobs for repair. They said it will take a month to fix! That's going to be 5 weeks without my car.....maaaaaan!

Driving around a 1.3 Yaris at the moment, a small piece of my soul dies everyday!

Always add at least two weeks to the estimate.

It sucks, but it seems every time I've had something at the body shop they've taken two to three weeks longer than "expected".

The insurance companies can not dictate who fixes or how your car gets fixed.
If Nissan is fixing it, then they have no room to argue.
If they try and argue tell them to go talk to the driver they insured.

And make them give you a better car. The deal they work with the individual they insure has nothing to do with you.
