Red Light Accident

jdv5074 · 03-23-2014, 09:40 PM

So this is how my night went...

I was at a red light, soon to be green, when a lady rear ends me. Tried to talk to her but could not understand what she was saying. She seemed to be fine but def not with it. I called the police to report the accident.

They determined she was under the influence. Theres a dent in the bumper and a bunch of scratches. Accident could be worse but after babying the car for 7 months it sucks to see this happen. First time attaching pictures so hopefully it works. What do you guys think? will they just try to fix the dent and paint the bumper or will i get a new one? It'll suck knowing it was repaired if thats the case.

they'll get you a new bumper.

jdv5074 · 03-23-2014, 10:00 PM

Yeah they'll be checking it out Saturday!

They will have to remove the bumper and inspect for further damage like the foam or crash bar then replace and paint the new bumper.

Bummer & glad no one was hurt. Stupid people driving under the influence. Hope she was insured and the claim goes well for you!

Stick with the OEM rear and be different.

I doubt if they will try to repair the bumper cover. Shortly after I got my Z someone backed into me and put a small dent/scratch in the rear bumper cover. My comprehensive covered a new bumper cover. Looked repairable to me but I wasn't going to argue with them.
