A deer hit you or you hit a deer?

Thats tough. I would say make a decision on what you want to spend. Than narrow it down. GT500 front end would look nice. The GT/CS front end would be nice for the money.

Haha thanks for the advice!
I really like the GT/CS front since it is more aggressive than a GT bumper IMO. Im pretty sure all I will have to pay for is a new grill and should I just get a standard takeoff GT grill or ideas?

On a side note, I also got hit by a cop back in december and I got a GT rear bumper put on at no charge since it was the same price as a V6 rear bumper. I just got the stinger duals installed a few weeks ago and I absolutely love the look and sound of it!

PS. The deer hit me! since it cracked the front left side of my bumper and mangled the front left quarter panel lol. I dont hit things, i get hit

You can get a GT grill without fogs from Rock Auto for something like $45 shipped.

Bullitt grill looks really good with the GT/CS front.

I like the Shelby CS6 grill and almost got that one but they were out of stock.

Roush 9 bar black billet grill looks good too.

I agree with jdwalton. You may be able to get that covered under comprehensive insurance. You should have a lot less deductible too. Your insurance company will write the shop a check and you should be able to do what you want with it. This will only apply if the deer hit you, not if you hit the deer. But it looks like you will have a pretty good argument as it looks like the damage is to the side of the car not the front.

Yep, my deductible is much cheaper since its comprehensive. I was just going to bring it into the shop and they are supposed to give the estimate to the insurance company. At least thats how I understood it

just let them know you might want to order some other parts before they do the estimate. once the estimate is approved tats pretty much that, and as soon as the estimate is approved they will have the money and start working, to crank it out of there as fast as they can.
