Ya well i side swiped it front front bumper to the back.. can the body dmg be fixed? am i better off buying a body kit? where can i get used parts or cheap parts all i can find right now is the front panel for ok price and my buddy can do the paint.. the scratch runs from the front bumper all the way down to the rear bumper.. am i going to need a new Door??

should i maby just buy the 2 flares that go around the inside of the rims to hide both those dents?

Thanks if anyone can help out.

LOL that was awesome.

Do you have full coverage? If so take it to the dealer and have it fixed. Don't do a cheap fix as it will catch up to you in the long run.

HAHA ya the neighbors are all renovating houses around here.

taking it into a body shop tommorow i guess and see what he says. the passenger door wont open atm. and there more of deep dents then buffing but nothing tore thought the panels atleast.

You might have enough damage to be higher than your deductible. If its close sometimes the body shop will low ball the deductible so you don't have to make a claim and they get cash in hand. Try it out, go get a quote.

You mean fender flares? are you kidding me?

well i got a quote today for $3,000.. does that sound alright?? 3k cash he wants with paint.. a new skin for the door then work on the front fender and rear panel.

sounds about right. i had the same type of damage done to my 300zx and that was 3400 but i had more damage on the back end.

i work at a body shop...the fender really has to be changed and the door looks like it could get repaired as far as you can see in the pic.But $3,000 seems like a lot but then again all Z parts are expensive...Good Luck and make sure they use genuine nissan parts and good materials because you are paying a lot of money and a Z has to be perfect.....
