Default welp i hit a deer...

soooo .. on my way back from boston .. 30 minutes away from my house i hit a deer.

since you guys here have been damn good to me ..im sharing the damage and the quote.

the only messed up part is i just had the borla installed smh ...

shes a 2012 with the red interior ..... pics are below.....


... from what their saying .. the total will go up again once they start pulling everything off ..

my question to you guys is, should i be weary of anything in the replacement parts list thats not oem ???

You might want to modified the pdf, as it has your address on it.

Doesn't actually look too bad. As it stands I'm thinking you might be dodging the total loss, unless there's some type of frame damage.

Yes as a word of caution... Delete the PDF... This will cut down the chances of online FRAUD for you..

Sorry to see this damage on your F

Yea, I was about to ask what part of VA are you in but clearly see your entire addy on the PDF😌!
But def doesn't look like $6k+ of damage to me....but I'm no insurance adjuster either... and is that -$2000 showing/meaning you have a $2000 deductible?!?!?! If so, that's pretty high imo.
Best of luck though. Def doesn't look totalled by any means.
Beautiful color combo by the way!!

I had similar damage on mine, including both headlights after I rear ended a truck. About 7-8K all in.

no total loss ... no air bags deployed adjuster says unless we get near the 30K mark .. theres little to no chance of total loss...

also that 2K deductable ... tried to keep the insurance as cheap as possible ..it only pushed back my purchase of headers tho .. so not too mad at it ..

That's still pretty unfortunate to have happen. From looking at it initially, it didn't appear that it would've been totaled. Hopefully the repairs go well and quickly at that. Best of luck!

Hood, bumper, upper grill. Hopefully the radiator isn't damaged.

Bummer dude, sorry to see. Hopefully not a "total".

It seems as though there are more deer out there close to urban areas than ever before.

Be glad the air bags didn't go. Besides the cost they can really hurt you-. I know-it happened to me. Glad you're not hurt.

Sorry to hear about this unfortunate event. I'm glad to hear you're okay it definitely looks repairable. Definitely try to get all OEM replacement parts. Best of luck on the repair!

Now, this looks bad but, at least you got an upgrade out of it but, i'd have to say this one is the worst I've seen
