Damn, that sucks. Shoulda got the sport brakes. I keed, I keed.

^^ funny joke...lol......so new but dented up already...sucks

Questions concerning picture.
1. Did passenger airbag break window?
2. Driver side airbag didn't deploy? ( I remember seeing another crash pic where the driver side airbag didn't deploy either. The arguement was, if you didn't wear a seatbelt, it wouldn't deploy. Was there any truth in this?)

Just curious if anyone can shed some light.

^^ it really does look like it...eh...strange

Damn, seeing that makes my heart skip a beat considering i got the same color lol.

How is the touch up on this color.
I know that in some colors its easy to conceal and on others, it's pretty hard.
And is it just a plain solid black, or are there some grinded pearls into it, like some lexus's have (can't really tell from the pics : /).

It is a solid black finish. I haven;t had to touch up the paint job yet, but you can get small bottles of the actual paint CourtesyParts :: Magnetic Black (G41 color code) 1/2 oz. touch up paint bottle

The seat, and seat belt, have nothing to do with the air bag deployment.

The sensor(s)(some cars have one, some have two) in the front of the car. The sensor(s) evaluates the impact(micro seconds)and deploys the bag(s). The collision, does not have to be "head on", for air bag deployment!

Oooooooooooooooooooooooh man, that sucks

Here's a close of the paint. It has a nice pearl to it.

Thanks for the response.

anyone find a verdict on the "self-healing" paint?

This?

Yes, but someone mentioned that Nissan may/may not have applied this to the paint on the 370z. I would just like to confirm this....may see a few black Z's after several washes
