OP... had a similar situation but made the best out of it. I hit a small deer on the PA turnpike on my way into work one morning like 2 months after I got my 14 Nismo... Only damage for me was to my front bumper. Decided it was time for mods... purchased a Stillen front bumper, G3's and the Stillen brake ducts/fangs and had the body shop do everything at once. I essentially bought all the parts and had it shipped to the Body Shop and the costs of the install and paint was covered in what the insurance paid out on the front bumper.

Maybe a gopro like Kenchan and others have is worth the investment for things just like this. I know I'm getting one soon myself.

Good luck to you whatever you decide and sorry to hear...

Just becareful with gopro's and other 'cool' electronics cause people will break your glass to steal them as necessary..

if i wasn't parked at the nice neighborhood's gas station in broad daylight with rich folks roaming around, would NOT have let the gopro in plain view.

hell, if it was some redneck station, would've just passed that gas station and all the wayz home.

Yeah I know I haven't had any insurance claims in over 10 years so I should be good hopefully my rates won't go up since comprehensive should pick up the tab instead of collision.

Oh and the bags are because of the camping chairs that I put in the trunk.

OP I can't tell what color your car is from your pic.

If it is GM let me know. I might be able to help you out with a replacement bumper cover.

Would anyone know if the 2014 nismo front would fit my touring sport. I know the bottom portion would need to be replaced. But is it a straight forward fit. I would love the new nismo front but I'm sure that is expensive and the LEDs would need to be done as well.

Actually I do have a (spare) bumper cover.

My car is currently in the shop getting fitted with a Varis bumper.

So I have the factory one that will be available soon.

2013 Gun Metallic off car with 2500 miles. Full clear bra on front bumper.

Cons:

1. Has front license plate bracket on it (OEM)
2. Has one minor scratch 1-2 mm wide around a quarter inch tall where a rock chip went through Clear bra. It is the only noticeable mark on the bumper. - Under the passenger headlight towards the bottom of the bumper.

3. Probably the biggest issue - I am reusing the Daytime Lights from the bumper for my new Varis one. So it would not come with those.

Anyway if all that sounds acceptable - Shoot me a PM.

The only real hassle would be how to get it to TX. Honestly, I would be more willing to drive some than I would to try to find a box big enough to ship it in.

I don't get it. Is either park or drive, but parking when driving sounds a bit of a contradiction. Besides, the reference as to "he never parks" when driving sounds like he goes for a drive but never makes a stop at any place. So in theory he drives and whenever he gets tired then returns home. Another theory is that he never does any errands on his Z. Maybe he drives, then gets out of the car and the vehicle has a auto-pilot program that keeps the car going around the parking lot in circles until the owner is ready to go back home.
Either way, it is very interesting how he manages to never park his vehicle unless he can fold the car several times (like a piece of paper), stuff it in his back pocket and be worry free.
