But first, some carnage pictures...
That’s not gone well.
Goodbye tire and wheel.
Was hoping the tow company would send a flatbed, they did not.
Away with ye’
The car was ready exactly one week later, top job! Except the part where they reassembled the driver door assembly incorrectly and I couldn’t get in my car. Still very pleased with the service and result.
They even obliged not to drill holes in the new front bumper so I can run the front plate off the tow hook should I so choose. Another positive is the new replacement tire is within tolerance of the other 3 slightly older tires so I don’t have to buy new tires. Really lucked out there.
Feel free to guess what the damage estimate came out to be (bumper, fender, headlight,paint,labor).
And now it’s Nor’easter time. Already had to lift a fallen Ninja, not many times do you get to say those words...
Bonus Z06 Update: Took the Z to get inspected, but they wouldn’t let me through because I don’t have a square cutout in the windshield tint for a new sticker. ¯\_()_/¯

Probably $3k. Did your insurance pay, or did you kick in out of pocket?

Do you never drive the Z at night? I can’t imagine driving with a tinted windshield in low light.

Spot on. The other driver footed the $500 deductible, we both had Geico so it was painless.

I drive it all the time and the tint is surprisingly beneficial. Since you sit so low to the ground, it helps dampen the incoming headlights from other cars and trucks on the road.

I guess that makes sense. My e39 came with really dark side and rear tints and whenever I drove it at night it was like holy shit I can’t see anything.

It does feel a bit like a cave at night. The rear tint can be annoying at night but haven’t had any issues with the windshield, they could have different percentages.

That’s quite a nice two car setup!

Thank you! Took a bit of time to find each of them but eventually made it happen over the course of nearly 5 years.
