UPDATE:

the door skin is getting replaced. Quote is $3311. The skin alone is $1300 from Nissan, then the labour and paint. The repair shop guys sound very confident about their painting skills, and also provide full warranty on their work in case Im unhappy.

So far so good. They say it will take 5-6 business days, so I should get it back at the end of next week, hopefully just in time for an oil change and I should be at the next meet on the 11th!

oh man, i cant wait to hear what happens to that little fucker. Congrats to you for having restraint, I would have beat the kid bloody and probably pissed on him.

Thats great that you got the damn kid:tup: Serves him right for whatever consequences he receives. I do hope you get your car back soon!! Hope you can make it to meet as well.

Well I just got my Z back. Brand new door, looks completely flawless. I couldn't be happier right now!!!!!!!

sweet!
