Back from the body shop!

Nitex · 10-27-2010, 03:26 PM

And finally i can drive my car again! The repair looks good, a few minor flaws ive noticed. I will bring it up with the shop.

All four wheels were re-powder coated. They replaced the driver side fender and front bumper. The same side head light was also replaced. One positive side to this was a second chance to get the cuts right on my core support for my intakes. As it was also replaced.

They sprayed the new fender and bumper. The driver door, A pillar, and hood were blended. Only the passenger side fender to bumper was not.

Before

After

Area not blended is where the fender meets the bumper.

One of the issues i found in the paint...

Good to have the Z back!

On the hood were it joins with the other 2 panels. You will notice streak, its not the light. Starts at the join, and ends were there is a random dot of water.

Looking good, congrats on getting her back.

I had similar damage to my Z when some distracted lady backed right into it while parked. I used the money from the incident to buy a new aftermarket bumper and stock fender and pocketed the rest
