No major damage but I do have about a 4" x 4" dent in the front right bumper. Luckly some Army guys stopped and pulled me out. I'll post pics tomorrow of the damage.

I replace the clutch at 20k miles. Bought it used at 13k. I don't know but I'm happy to be out of it. There are some things I miss about it but overall... I'm happier with the Z.

I know you mentioned it had an ACT clutch when stock, that #1 wouldn't be a good sign.....

OK.... Went by three body shops and got some quotes on getting the bumper repaired. All three suggest to have the whole thing replace. Only thing about replacing it is that they won't do the clear bra that is on there already.
Wreckmasters Body & Frame: $659.56
Beems Body & Paint: $669.21 (PPG Paint)
Daniels Chevrolet: $720.01 (Took Evo there for hail damage repair and came out Awesome!)
Think I'm gonna go w/ Beems. Nice shop and right outside base. Now I just need to come up with the money.

Yay for me!!! I went out today doing the normal running around today. Got the car washed and all cleaned up. Coming out of Blockbuster I notice my front bumper was fixed. 
Looks like it popped out by itself.
