Hit By A School Bus

Not a good day today my new G37S. Parked my car for my daily run along the river trial and come back to this





School bus driver was turning out of the street where I was parked and hit my car with the back of the bus.
Just happens there was a cop nearby and he made sure she stopped. The cop has a G35 and was really helpful about the mess. Only 4000 miles on it and now its Fuked up. Very depresing.
Going to take it to repair shop in the morning but not looking forward to driving around in a rental piece of crap.

of course it will.. take it to a shop you trust and itll be fine. the only thing that might cause a problem is matching the paint to the rest of the car. oem parts are oem parts they fight just fine

looks bad but an easy fix. especially since it's silver, color matching wont be an issue. find a good body shop and all will be forgotten.

Sorry about what happened!!

Self healing paint should do it! But worse comes to worst, It should buff right out (can't believe nobody said this already)!

Good luck! At least there is no structural damage. It should look like new if you take it to the right bodyshop.

if your worried about paint matching it wont be a problem...

Its a brand new car with no fade due to the sun. It should be matched up perfectly. However it wont have the self healing coat if it is an 09 Version.

I had my door and quarter panel repainted after i hit a dear. Cant even see there was work on it.

Sorry that sucks. I wonder if the bus would have stopped if the cop wasnt there.
