Im so goddamn sad right now
 

I crashed my Nismo today and I want to die. I don't even know what to do right now but I need a new hood and bumper. I figure I can cut my losses and get a carbon fiber hood or something. I am looking to you guys for some recommendations on a hood swap, probably carbon fiber, for this repair. I'm going to probably go for an OEM Nismo bumper, but I'm open to some suggestions for that too. I've seen a few, but I figure somebody on here has some better experience to know what will have the best fits and whatnot.

Edit: Not so pissed off anymore, just focused on getting it fixed up. I've seen a few CF hoods, but I have no idea about fitments. Anyone with a hood swap have any input for me?

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Get a hammer to the underside.

It is not the bad man, could have been worse.

Damn dude, that sucks. The hood looks like it can be banged right out and some filler and a respray should fix it(from the looks of the picture).

how bad is the bumper? it's hard to tell.

I can't even open the hood right now. I tried for like 20 minutes with no success.

The bumper isn't so bad, but it has a gouge in it. I figure I can use it as an excuse with insurance to get a new bumper. Maybe the Stillen bumper with the vents for rotor cooling, since that seems to be a known issue with the Nismo.

Insurance??

You're quite lucky if this is the saddest day in your life.

Clearly, you've never met any of the women I've dated.

I wouldn't go through insurance. This is pretty minor and the bumper just needs minimal work and paint. The hood can be repaired.

Give the hood a good open palm hit near where the latch would be.

look up Z1 I believe they have a nismo front bumper in black for sale

Was this a hit n run? explain.

Who did you hit?

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

Not seeing anything on the search. It mainly comes up with results for hood struts.

For more explanation, I was getting on the highway and some jackass was trying to pinch me in when I was trying to merge. Long story short, I jumped into the lane, next thing I know there's a Honda CR-V at a dead stop in front of me. I couldn't stop in time. Report has been filed, but technically it was "my fault". The Honda had a tiny little scratch on it, which the girl driving it didn't even care about. She just wanted to go on her way.

I almost punched the dude in the car behind me but of course there were 2 cops that passed me right as it happened.

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

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.
