Your car isn't undriveable. Don't be in such a rush to get the situation resolved. You'll end up unhappy long term.

1500 is everything together Parts/Paint/Replacement/ect.
Yea no rush im gonna take it to two other body shops and get estimates. And like i said before she hit me at under 5mph and she didnt hit it was more or nudge then CRAAAAAAAAK. I understand you chuck about future damages and the body shop told me that if they find anything they will let me know right away. And what i got was a PRELIMINARY estimate and i called and told the woman that im not gonna receive the cash for prelim but the FINAL estimate. and if not i can just go to the cop b/c he gave me his info and i can just put it up with him. Also how much is it for JUST the amuse rear the replica one. and the Spoiler as well just for giggles. Do companies just sell rears?

Good, take your time. Your car still gets you from point A to point B, so it's not like you're stuck. Go to good body shops. Definitely get a quote from the dealer's body shop. $5 says it's the highest. Make sure the shop that fixes it does a good job, even if it's not the cheapest one. CHeap bodywork looks cheap. Get something from the dumb twat for a rental car, since you'll be without transportation for a couple of days while it's being fixed.

The dealer will have a body shop they use. Go there. It's most likely the highest estimate you'll get.

it can't possibly be $1500 for a brand new bumper and taillight... can it?
replacement on my bumper was quoted at $1850, whereas repair was~$900. but mine was a Nismo. it's expensive because they will have to replace the new emblems and 370Z Logos |

Yeah seems too much for not that much repairs to be done.
If i were to self damage my bumper by accident, i would of hold of on the repairs and not dropping $1500+. But anyways, good luck |

$1,500 sounds low for parts, paint and labor. Emblems alone are like $50-$100. You can find a brand new unpainted Nismo bumper for around $800 plus shipping, so I'm assuming its a bit less. That's Internet price though, I see what the dealer charges.

Regardless, let's hope that check covers everything without any surprises. After my wreck, the body shop requested more money from the other insurance after finding out some things couldn't be replaced or there was more damage than initially thought.
Even though yours was a minor fender bender, who knows.
