Awww.... really? 
So sorry to see and hear this, B. And your car was just about perfect already.
It doesn't look like there was frame damage, and i hope it stays that way. The door should be fixed easily and since you have a black car it shouldn't be that hard to match. Then again, just make sure they blend the paint all around. I only say that because when i had my accident the shop only blended the bumper/hood to the quarter panel, but then didn't blend all the way to the doors, so in certain angles you can see where the panels are of different shades of gray.

Bummer Dude....At least you're OK. As they say in Monty Python and the Holy Grail: "Tis Just a Flesh Wound!"
If it's a good body shop, you won't know the difference. Still sucks to see another mint G get tagged.

Thats not pretty at all man!! But its nice to see how you took all this positively and were more concerned about peoples safety than the car's damage so i really hope that everything is fixed asap!
Other than that the car was/is starting to look really nice with all those mods especially the wheels. Keep us posted over at g35driver too bro and post many pics when its all taken care of!

It's been almost 3 weeks, Newt. What's the status update on the repair?

The hood? Was that you asking because of the paint chips, or was it part of the damage?
You were already planning on long-term ownership of this car anyway, right? With this repair on record, that kind of locks those plans in, I'm thinking.
Either way, fresh paint and professional detail, with new sport swaybars as a cherry on top... from what I've read into your posts, I'm thinking you'll be pretty happy when you get the G back.

damn! Carefully inspect it 5 times when you get it back. Make sure it's perfect... 7,000 is a a lot of money's. My wife's Acura TL was T-boned. Everything looked good but the drivers side door was replaced, and we constantly heard air leaking while driving... After the repairs. Damage was around 5,000 and had to make several trips back to the body shop. They ended up keeping it nearly a month.
Good luck!
