Hit a dog last night.
Last night I was driving home just leaving town when i look to the left for a slit second then i look back and there is a dog that ran in front of me..I smoked the dog sending it about 15ft in front of the car (tough dog it got up and ran off didnt even wimper...) butmy lower grill poped out and went with him, now I cant seem to get the bumper poped back in...how hard do you have to push to get it to pop?

i was going about 35 so i couldnt get a good look at it but from about 3 feet before hitting it i could see its head plus i didnt run over it so it was a fairly large dog i believe just glad that grille is all that happened..

RE: Hit a dog last night.
Are you talking about a dent to pop out?I had to do this once on a altima(It also was polyurethane)I did have to take the bumper
off to get enough weight on the backside to pop it out,but it still didn't come out perfect.You might have to
heat it to bring it back to the original shape.(Or get someone that has some experience with this)

RE: Hit a dog last night.
damn i feel sorry for that dog as well as ur car. if people dont have big yards they shouldnt have dogs. i mean dogs need to run around and just keeping them in a house or a small backyard isnt right. peop;e who do should at least take the time everyday to walk em.

RE: Hit a dog last night.
Sometimes dogs DO escape from enclosed yards. We always keep ours in our large back yard but in the past each dog has gotten out once; but luckily was not hit by a car. As drivers I think we all need to be attentive and just do the best we can at not killing any animals or humans; and yes, that means not yakin' or texting on that F**KING cell phone while you are driving. Sorry. I also ride a motorcycle and the biggest threat to my life is the phone phreaks.
