Price for paint and bodywork is extremely cheap . Its a lot of bodywork and a complete paintjob . That easily can cost well over 2k . 1000 for wheels sounds like factory or pretty cheap wheels .

I was going to say just upgrade to Rookie front or Nismo but after reading ur driving habits it would be a waste of fiberglass.

The $1300 body shop work is close to low ball for this extensive repair in a refinished parts budget kind of job, not kidding paint and clear will be most of it.

Shawn, not kidding, get your vision checked. I'll bet it's been a long time. You'll could be please to find out what your missing out on!

OP, the reality with these cars is everything is expensive but dont get discouraged. Quality work shows, crappy work costs you more in the long run. So save up and get it done right you'll be happier

Sounds like you'll be needing good insurance and a super low deductible. Being that you're a decent driver and all.

Dang! Not mediocre either? That puts you somewhere between mediocre and poor... I would've taken mediocre if I were you, that was the easy out!

So how is you at grammar?

At least you corrected yourself about being a decent driver cause if you only had the car for 2 weeks and it looks like that you are far from a decent driver. And nobody here claimed to be a perfect driver, we are G35 drivers.
