From the pics it doesnt look like there was enough force to do frame damage. I would have it fixed and go back to the dealer.

Did they ask you before if it was ever in an accident? As long as it gets fixed properly the only repairs will be to the rear bumper and associated electrical parts. Doesnt matter if it was a scratch on the rear bumper and it was removed to be repaired or if your bumper was slightly imploded from a durango front end.........the bumper had to come off for sanding and painting. Thats it. If they didnt ask the first time, than I wouldnt sweat it all that much. You need to be at the shop when they take your bumper off though. If there is any damage to metal behind the bumper, than you need to let the dealership know when you trade it in. If there is no visible damage to any parts behind the bumper, than its no biggie. If you have ever taken any part off of your car to do some sort of audio installation, its no different. As long as there is no structural damge, no harm no foul.

Sympathy isnt what you need right now, its patience that you need to have. Z or no Z, you can still be the coolest 24 y/o on the block......just have to wait two weeks or so to be the coolest with a phat azz 370Z.
