I switched to a Cali front end, with Agent 47 scoops, and a Race Skinz carbon fiber insert....I love it and get compliments on it often.

Paint looks awesome. You were lucky. That buck could have went through your windshield and into your head.

The leftover meat is kinda nasty. Looks like bugs are eating it too. LOL

I like that alot 808, i was wanting to switch to that bumper but we couldnt find one cheap enough and latemodel was still out of order. Oh well, im still on tje lookout. Thanks definitely swerved to miss it and he checked my side. I was lucky, I was going over 70 when it came out, so I'm sure I wouldn't be writing this of I hadn't swerved.

Did you cook that up? Hate to waste good meat. Car is looking good. Last winter when I bought my F150, I had it less than a week, was driving up I70 doing about 75 in the left lane when this bull elk jumped the median right into my lane. I swerved and barely missed him. Looking a bull elk with a trophy rack in the eye at that speed is pretty darn scary let me tell you. Unfortunately, my dog who was in the back wasn't too happy that she landed on a birthday cake but my wife was glad I insisted she put her dad's birthday cake in a cake tupperware container instead of just covering it in foil so there was no risk of it spilling all over my shiny new pickup.

I'm still on the fence about halo foglights. I'm pretty happy and content with my billet grille cover for now though. Wcgman, no I didn't cook it up haha, I gave it to my dog. If I hadn't taken the fender bolts off, I wouldn't have found it and it wouldve rotted, and no telling if I could get that smell out of the car. I can't imagine hitting a trophy elk going 75 with a truck let alone a car. My dad was telling me about a coworker of his that hit 3 deer with his truck a few years back. First two hit the grill guard, one went under the truck, one went to the side, and the other flew up over the truck and hit his horse trailer.

Deer meat is lean and tasty! Should have thrown that piece on the grill! LOL
Can't beat a new paint job. Looks good!

Waiting for rifle season to start lol. And thanks. I keep a spray bottle and some microfiber towels in the car now to remove any dirt and bugs that get on the car. The paint still needs tk cure a bit before I can give it a full wash, so I've been keeping it shined up. I'm sure I look like a fool in a parking lot spraying the front of the car and wiping it down haha
