Cheap aftermarket crap? Ask some of the people here how much a JP, Veilside, Vertex, Wald, etc bumper costs. Also ask about the quality of the pieces. I'm not talking about an knockoff imitation ebay body kit or anything. This is the real deal from the original Japanese fabricators. An OEM front bumper will probably run $500-700 from the dealer. For that price you might as well get a GOOD aftermarket bumper. Just my opinion though

masitaly17, with some of that money...you might want to invest in an aftermarket braking system. Brembo, Stoptech, Rotora, or TT brakes. It will help you stop a lot faster. My TT brakes have saved my *** countless times already!

 

How's that stupidest comment on earth? Apparently "U" didn't get my point so let me clarify. Most of these accidents occur when Bambi run towards your car. But in some cases like mine, Bambi darted right onto the road trying to cross traffic to get to the other side but not necessarily heading into oncoming traffic. You start to see this more this time of year as the bucks are aggressively trying to get their thing on with the does. Understand now! It don't sound to stupid now right!

 

Going to have to take your side in this one. I have seen deer stare at you and you wait, then you go slowly and BAM!!!! right into the side of your car

 

wow..that sux..now it gives an excuse to get aftermarket parts!!! =) good luck man!

 

Thanks to everyone for your love....They ordered the parts friday, no aftermarket parts are going to be ordered. I would like to get a front lip spolier but I am not to concerned about it.

If anyone knows of a company which sells refurbished headlamps I would be interested. I want to replace the Left Front headlamp, its not going to match the new right front as it is a little Hazy and yellow. There is a company in Iowa called RPW Headlamps, I am getting a price from them.

The hood smashed into the engine comparment, so some of the pricey items included the air cleaner housing, radiator, A/C condensor, etc. All stuff which is not on the exterior but is still damaged.

It happenned on Interstate 64, east of St. Louis. I was down there celebrating the Cardinals World Series Victory and when I was driving back to my parents house (at 4am) this thing popped out in front of me.. Now my car in down south and I am back up in Chicago.

Thanks again for the support.

 

That really sucks man! But you know the saying "eye for an eye," right?.............hahahaha
I put a 7 mag through this guys chest saturday evening. I thought this would make you feel a little better. heres a pic i took after I cleaned him up and put his back straps on ice. Revenge is a dish best served cold my man. Good luck with your repairs.

 

At least your ok! Cars can be fixed! I would have put that damn deers head on my wall if he ran in front of my car.

I drove 3 hours to pick up my buddy a few weeks ago, and he wasnt there, turns out he hit an elk, got knocked unconsious and woke up in the ditch two days later!

 

watch what you say your not talking to a child i understood the first time but to say its the stupidest animal on earth ?? that wasnt a smart statement as a driver your supposed to be aware of these animals. So slow down and use caution.!!

 

Geez guys lets calm down no need to call each other stupid over different opinions. Some have a littlre more experience since they are from states where this happens often. lets not take comments to heart here.

Also ECUgs430 and TLW I removed the pics of the deers. CL is no place to start posting post deer pictures. Thats the last thing most of us want to see on a car forum. Please don't do that again..

masitaly17 - I'm sorry about what happen.

 

"Imagine you're a deer. You're prancing along. You get thirsty. You spot a little brook. You put your little deer lips down to the clear blue water.....BAM! A F***IN' BULLET RIPS OFF PART OF YOUR HEAD! YOUR BRAIN IS LAYING ON THE GROUND IN LITTLE BLOODY PIECES. Now, I ax ya. Would you give a ****** what kind of pants the son of a ***** who shot you was wearing?"

That picture of the deer (the one that got removed) made me think of this. Name the movie and the actress/character. Sorry to hijack the thread, but a little levity couldn't hurt things a bit, right?

 

My Cousin Vinny?

 

Dam that was fast..

 

Ding, ding, ding. I can't for the life of me remember her screen name. Pesci was Vincent (Vinny) Gambini. What the heck was her name?

 

Poor deer R.I.P

 

Mona Lisa. The whole movie was funny but that scene was THE BEST part!
