Something bad happened, please help.

Thank you all for your responses. No luck yet on catching the perp, but I'm asking my neighbors if they saw anything. Again, thank you all for your time. I found a good body shop today, and they quoted me about 600 dollars for each panel. Luckily, my insurance does cover it, so I'm all good.

I know I sound like a broken record, but thank you so much for your responses! Have a great day everyone!

My friend had his rear bumper repainted at a reputable shop that uses quality paint. and they did it for him at $550.

At that rate, using quality paint (better than stock) you might as well re-do the whole car lol.

i agree with repainting the whole car and then clear bra-ing it. might as well, sounds like quite a few panels were damaged and this way you can get quality and uniform paint along the whole car. + might wanna make sure there arent any damages on the roof, i heard that roof damage could compromise the structural integrity of the car when u need it most even tho it may look light. chances are prob not cuz it just an egg but to be safe might wanna take a look urself for damage.

That must have been one mother of an egg.

Done at Nissan, get in good with the service manager and you can get deals done.

Man i hate to hear this news man, im currently going through the process of getting my Z fixed after some gypsy lady parked into my car, literally, take a look at the thread i started entitled, i got it-help

AS long as your insurance pays for it, i would paint every single damaged part. MAke sure to ask the auto body a lot of questions, go to someone who has been in business over 15-20 years
