Atleast it wasen't a hit and run . In 2011 a s2k was T boned in an intersection while i was stopped. The s2k slid into my front bumper popping out my fog lightbulb and causing few mild dents and scratches.. Well it turned out that the s2k's owners insurance only covered $10,000 and the total damage to the car that t boned the s2k was $20,000+.. I went to a well established body shop and gave me an estimate of a lil more than $1000 which included a new bumper And 2 new complete fog lights which was unnecessary.. Anyways out of the s2ks $10,000 insurance money they were gonna give me 500 and the other party 9500 i agreed but the other party dident so i waited for i think more than 2 years with a ugly front bumper till they accepted... I spent 300 for one dude to fix it up with a repaint and heatgun to pop out the dent.. Bought a fog light bulb and popped it in. Pocketed the rest $

Sorry for the boo-boo on the Z. hopefully it will all be patched up soon, not only that it gives you a chance to get any mods done too. Maybe in the process a nice diffuser. Just an idea.
Lets see some pics when everything is fixed too!

Lets see what happens! Thing is investing in a rear bumper would also mean investing in side skirts, front bumper, front lip, etc. to make it all come together. Truth of the matter, and unfortunately, there are some other priorities that i need to take care of first, but believe me im itching to buy new parts for the Z
Tomorrow im taking her to be inspected and get an estimate of the damages.

Glad you're getting her back P.
Shouldn't be a full replacement. What should be inspected and replaced are the pieces you do not see and sitting behind the bumper.

Finally, got her back! Nothing had to be replaced, the shop was able to fix the existing bumper and repainted. They even painted the valance, in case anyone is interested... (Mr kenchan)
Very happy with results, the shop did a good job. Ill even get $100 in return Sorry for the huge pics
