My roomate rear ended someone while driving my 1990 300zx TT about 2 years ago....i was soo upset, but after I was dne repairing my car it was better than ever. Sometimes a fender bender will work as a motivator to get the things you wanted done on the car. Such as a upgraded front bumper/valance, new foglights...headlights, and carbon fiber hood like in my case...i also upgraded to some 3 piece 19 inch wheels! Insurance money is always easier to spend. In your case i hope you will gat some insurance money. | | | 09-14-2006, 03:54 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: SOUTH Jersey Posts: 1,085 | well, if you want. In a month I should have a used Calypso red Front bumper I am not using. I am expecting my Mtech front bumper this weekend, once I get it painted, it is going on and the stock will be redundant. | | | 09-14-2006, 08:15 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Southern California Posts: 456 | check out my thread...700 dollars painted _ parts from dealer too! http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12257 __________________ SPEED IS NOT AN EQUATION CONSISTING OF DISTANCE DIVIDED BY TIME.

The body shop just called and told me they have been told to do the repairs - will be getting some other minor work done while in body shop, so she will be PERFECT when we get her back - can't wait to get her back on the road. thanks DnD Quote: Originally Posted by davendeb It happened thursday - my son rear ended a gm while driving my ti hood - new needed bumper - new needed fog lights - new needed kidney grill, trim strip - new needed etc, etc no rad damage, or fluid loss my best guess, for parts costs from RealOEM is about $1600 can.
