Not taking it as a threadcrap, but this part of the highway has a split between 4 lanes, 2 and 2. Left side continues down the highway, right side goes to another one. It was obvious I was trying to get to the left and continue down, but in this case the guy was just being a douche. He could have easily let me slip by and been right where he left off. He was at a stop and when he saw me trying to merge, he started to pinch me in.

I know I ****** up though. I'm over that part already. I'm just looking to get it fixed up at this point.

Who did you hit?

Find a paint less dent repair place, they'll heat up the hood & pop it back out

shadoquad · 04-26-2014, 10:32 PM

It could be worse, but I know that pain, man. Hope the repairs are quick n painless.

Zbrah · 04-26-2014, 10:42 PM

Ouch. That sucks man, I hope everything works out for you.

Z1 had a thread up selling misc nismo parts, including fronts and rear bumpers, I just saw that same thread getting bumped earlier today, maybe someone here can help you find it, or just send a pm to a rep at Z1 motorsport.

Glad you're OK, and the other "guy" is OK too.

Thanks, it was like a 5mph collision. I'm just sad for the car more than anything.

Silver lining is no one got hurt.....and you get the CF hood that you wanted.

karotZ · 04-27-2014, 01:11 AM

A few suggestions OP, and this is assuming you are at fault and going out of pocket and not through your insurance or whatever.

For the hood, go CF hood or occassionally an OEM hood is sold here for a magnetic black.

For the bumper, to do a budget squeeze, I'd do the Ings+1 Nismo style bumper for now until either someone sells their Nismo MB bumper or until you accumulate the proper budget to get brand new OEM one.

Or, find a really good shop that can fix and repaint both your bumper and hood without getting ripped off.

Don't go through your insurance. You rear ending someone will kill your rates.

N1atmax · 04-27-2014, 02:39 AM

At least you have no suspension or frame damage. Wait till you total a car or end up in a hospital, that's a bad day.

synolimit · 04-27-2014, 02:48 AM

New hood, new bumper. Done.

Chuck33079 · 04-27-2014, 10:42 AM

A fender bender is the worst day of your life and you want to die? Come on, man. It sucks but it's a car and it's repairable cosmetic damage. Have a drink and be thankful it wasn't worse.

Riptide67 · 04-27-2014, 11:17 AM

I have a magnetic black hood, should you decide to stay OEM.

But if police report is filed, the insurance company will know anyways. So might as well just get insurance involved.

As for OP, if you want to replace the bumper and hood, do with the OEM ones. Aftermarket ones will decrease your car value and potential buyers dramatically if you ever plan to sell your car. But the nismo front bumper plus hood replacement won't be cheap. So get your insurance involved.
