Ya Henry, watch out. Haha. We were leaving the underground parking lot and getting on the freeway. What kills me is that I was gonna take surface streets home, but wanted to cruse with some homies for a min. and followed them on the freeway.

:eek: Damn sorry to see that. When I bought my first Z, 24 days after I bought I get hit by a blown semi tire. Destroyed the passenger side of the car. So I feel your pain.

Ouch. That sucks. Some things we just have no control over. I hate looking at the damage then I get in and start her up and see the 4500 miles on the odometer and start to cry.

Bummer man.. hope she gets fixed up soon!

To make it worse and a bigger kick in the nuts from Henry Fords ghost ( former ford guy)...2 weeks after the damage from the tire was fixed, we got softball size hail. It beat the hell out of the car. That Z was cursed and was gone shortly after that.

Damn that sucks. 2 months after I got my Z I got caught in a hail storm. Luckily the 370 is built like a tank and no damage occurred. I also pulled over as quickly as possible but there were no overhangs to seek shelter where I was at. I got sit in the Z and listen to the pellets ding off the car. Worst experience ever!

I would shave the front emblem and incorporate a lip into the front bumper if mine ever got damaged like that. In your case you get to skip the front lip part.

Was thinking of having the emblem filled in, but for some reason I like it blacked out on the white Z.

I had a nitemare about this happening to me last night! haha only it was a washington road gator haha seeing the nismo damaged like that hurts inside :(

I almost S**T myself today! I walk out to my car after work and there's a nail sticking out of the back tire FML. Wasn't in far and no leak yet, but I guess I'll find out in the morning.

That's just a scratch,I fix stuff worst than that at my shop, fix that bumper so the color match is easier plus you can fill in the license plate holes and the fit will be spot on.
Just cause you may get a OEM new bumper doesn't mean the fit will be the same as yours.

Realale 02-06-2013 10:49 PM

Not much of a choice. There's a chunk of the grill missing also. You can't see it in the pic.

Oh OK then replace the cover :tup:

Realale 02-06-2013 11:38 PM

I really wish it didn't have to get done. Trust me.

Shave the bumper and delete hamburger. Then sell me hamburger so I can experiment ;)
