I got backed into at the gas station when I was at a dead stop this past Saturday. I’ve already contracted the other individuals insurance company and I have two witnesses to the accident. The panel is repairable but I’m thinking I might be able to pick up a used silver left quarter panel somewhere, any ideas where I might find one just in case insurance company is looking for one? Thanks all.
Sorry about the photo being so large.
I got backed into at the gas station The truck that said he couldn't see me, with a backup camera?
X2 on Vettenuts for the OEM panel.
Sorry that happened to you. Too many people not paying attention and distracted now days.
Not having a backup camera is a lame excuse. That’s why all vehicles are required to have mirrors.
Best wishes for your repairs and the insurance claim.

Think for the advice all, yeah the wheel got scuffed also. I'll try Vettenuts.
As for going wide body I have thought about it but my C5 is still mostly stock, lust a bunch of bolt ons fir now. Plus & I'd need to get new wheels & tires, more money than I care spend right since I just had the clutch replaced.
If Vettenuts doesn't have one, call John Llewellyn (865-604-0498) I think he just salvaged a silver vert. These are easy replacements. John left for Indy (Bloomington) today, but that is his cell #.
.... Wow... a truck backing into a stationary Corvette. Sad to say, that has happened to me TWICE. First guy was apologetic. Second guy said it was my fault for having such a small car. He was pretty close to swallowing his own teeth that day. (If you drive a land barge of a truck, YOU need to be extra careful and responsible).
Sorry that happened. Such a pain. But, yeah, like others have said, maybe now is a good time to go wide body or something else to make it worth your hassle.
Nobody gives a crap in todays world.People texting and driving,folks in SUV's in a hurry and red necks in jacked up trucks. I am to the point that i only drive the Z06 on days when traffic is light like Saturday evening or Sunday. Rarely do i leave it in a parking lot for more than a few minutes and always look for an isolated spot. Even that is risky given the idiots out there.Too many people in this country have a drivers license that should not.
My C5 got hit
