look at the pics on my profile. only two of them were taken before the accident. the side that got banged up is actually the better looking side now because of fresher paint lol

 

if you say no mechanical problems and its just the body parts plus the core support its honestly not that bad. if you can get someones hood and fender those will be the hard things. oem bumpers are pretty cheap. need new hood hinges around 100 or so. i got a new core rad support from infiniti for like 350 but u can find one on ebay for like 200. non projector headlights are pretty damn cheap. depends on how much of the door is messed up but u if you can locate a new door you are basically good. honestly not too bad if you do the work yourself (scavenging parts and install) and have a good paint guy that doesnt extort you.

 

So irony alert. I have to take my car back to get painted again. Someone hit it today while it was parked!

 

Honestly the total repair on that would be like 3,000. I rebuilt an Altima SE-R for that price the whole right side was ffed up. I was a ble to find a guy that charged me 1,800 for labor/paint. It involved straightening b pillar, aligning doors, soldering a new quarter panel, and painting the whole right side. It came out good and pretty much your car is 1/4 of that problem. Yes, I know g35's are worth more but its still the same work. I've been looking for a wrecked g35 to rebuild with front end damage as well. But your front end damages look minimal.

At most you would need:
Hood
Bumper
Rad. Support
Headlight
Fender
Shock/Strut

If you can handle socket wrenches etc, do the work your self and just get the parts painted before hand. And as for the door not opening just replace the latch it doesn't look messed up at all.

I was able to do this to the car and I have no air wrenches or power tools. I was 15 at the time, now I'm 16. You just need to get your hands dirty haha and well have a lot of strength lol.





yeah the rear wheels camber is off but I got the whole suspension, arms and stuff etc, and ended up getting a camber kit so it is fine and front wheel is just turned to the right.

 

YAY! All of my parts came in today so now its just a matter of them painting them and installing them witch I hope would not take more than 2 more weeks. IDK how much longer I can stand not having my car nor a rental car since I'm 19. Ill post pictures when I get my car back to see if you can see a difference in paint and such. Its at the local Infiniti dealership and they are supposedly really good at what they do. They have to take my whole engine out which sounds scary but I'm praying to baby Jesus everything works out!

 

^^^ impressive work on that altima.. sucks about your G man.. that delectable is hideous :/

 

sorry I couldn't help myself lol.

OP I'm glad everyone's OK and sure hope they get your baby back together nicely.

 

Well, after 35ish days and $10,000 in parts,paint,and labor, I finally have my baby back! I have a couple questions, what would be the best way to wash my car? I was told by my local infiniti dealership that I could not wax my car for 30-45 days ( I might wait longer ). Like just water and some towels or what? UPDATED PICS: http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/...1/IMAG0043.jpg http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/...1/IMAG0039.jpg http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/...1/IMAG0041.jpg Also I need clear corners asap, I got my old ones off ebay with the bump http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-version-...11007f&vxp=mtr I want the same clear ones with out the bump so if anyone has them pm me please

 

I have had my car come from the body shop 4 times. My friend runs the body shop that I got my car fixed at. He said not to wax it for at least 30-45 days like you were told as well. I waited about 60 days. It is okay to use soap and water and a normal drying towel.

 

Thank you very much, ganna go wash now

 

damn man.. which infiniti body shop did you go to? I went to bob moore. It looks like they did a really nice job with the paint. Oh you also, if you havent already check your shock and strut to see if its leaking because when i got rear ended I had leakage on my rear shock and i didnt notice it until i had my oil change done.

 

Sorry to see about the damage man... I'm also from Tulsa

 

Thats not that bad man

 

Exactly what i thought, someone jumped onto his light

 

Yea I went to Bob Moore collision center. I'm happy with the results and recently got an oil change and everything checked out good there. Then I took it into the service center for my rear Axel clicking (mine was loose bolts didnt need grease) and then a week later my driver side window motor went out and that was a pretty $500 fix. But all is good now and my baby runs and looks like new
