    The true "Bambi-slayer" (Now w/pics)

    Took out a deer tonight w/the driver's side front corner of the car. Damage was at about 45mph, drivers side front fender definitely needs replacement and the hood may be a good enough excuse to pick up a carbon fiber unit. This all happened at 2:45am, pisses me off big time. Anyone got a cheap drivers side front fender or hood (CF, preferably)?

    Pics will be up tomorrow, as I don't have the guts to go look at the damage.

    EDIT: I think this thread will be a sort of "documentary" on my car's return to show condition. Mod, sticky?

              my buddy did the same thing.. he hasn't fixed it yet, but he needs a new fender, hood, and light bucket/radiator support. He's been driving it around all busted up with a sealed beam hack job put in by me to keep it legal (his remaining hella H4 puts out more light than two sealed beams anyway).

                    friend of mine hit a deer the other day in his 300zx. the deer rolled all the way over the car on the passenger side. ruined the front bumper, hood, fender. cracked the windshield, dented the a-piller (i guess is what its called), dented the roof and chipped the paint on the rear, from the hooves)
                    now that was fucked up

                    sorry to hear about your car, but it could been worse.

                        When i was in Ohio a few years ago i was riding in my uncles jeep grand cherokee and we hit a 2000 lb cow. Messed up the whole front end of the jeep and the cow walked away fine. A few months later the cow had the baby no problems. damn cows
