Yes it is great to be back in a hot new Z, thank god everything worked out!Can't wait for a Z run near the NYC/NJ area this summer! yes CameronSF , lots of bondo on the rear, he used sheet metal, fiberglass/bondo for the wide body, not how I wanted it done, but I got what I paid for! all the work was done with bondo and sheet metal. The guy said he was going to cut under the wheel well and extend the factory metal, he didn't. I had to find out how he really did it when I got hit.Looks like what he did was put sheet metal to widen the rear, then mounted lots of bondo. The job looked great but that wasn't how I wanted it done. It was a body shop apprentice that was doing side work out of his friends garage. Looking back at the pictures, he was under payed and I feel a little guilty, but after seeing how he did the job after the accident I don't feel bad. I guess over time with the heat and cold it would have cracked, right? I really don't know how fiberglass/bondo works in extreme temperatures. Please explain? B/c I was thinking about going back to him in the future with the Z32, but he made it clear that he wouldn't do that much work for the amount that I paid him, lol...Thank good he re-enforced the rear, and noticed that the rear shock absorber bumper was missing, or rotting and he replaced it for me. It's true what they say, sometimes you get what you pay for when you skimp out. The whole job (full paint job door jams etc installation of new body parts, rear brake boots, front and rear fender flares, HID head light installation, shaved wiper blade, molded side skirts, rear bumper) $3750
