Angry My front fascia is busted

I was working and minding my business when some idiot spun out and hit my 240 while it was parked, I have a shop order to get it repaired from his insurance but itīs gonna be a while before itīs ready, I donīt think the fascia is sold anywhere in here.

Shipping times, custom problems, this is gonna take forever.......

The problem here is that a drive to LA for me is like a 20 hour drive or so, Iīm in midwestern mexico, the 240sx was only sold here in 93 and in 98 so there arenīt that many shops that still carry collision parts for that model

Oh crap... Im not sure how much OEM parts will run, I do know the yards have them everywhere, but shipping is gonna be a bit on the heavy side since OEM bumpers are made from heavy eurethane material. Unless you get the Type-X bumper, I heard those are fiber glass. a lot lighter.

That sucks man. Did you take any pictures of the damage? Not trying to be rude or anything; just want to see what the aftermath looks like. I hate people who put other's lives in danger like that.

Some guy from my office took some, Iīll try and post them later, the car is now in the shop, aparently it can be fixed, most of the damage is to the fender not the bumper, thank god no suspension parts were damaged.

Thats good news, I would still do an alignment check on it just in case. Ive dealt with so many cars in my shop (old shop) you wont notice it, but its better to check, saves money in the long run on tires, gas etc.

Thanks Nismo, Iīll do that and order a full check up of the front suspension just to be sure
