Your waranty has more chance of covering the dog than your bumper. Time for newtakeoff.com

Oh man I nailed a cat along time ago, I felt sooo darn bad. I tried to miss it, swerved to other lane, it turned back that way, so I swerved back, and so did it.


Your insurance may cover it. But depending on your deductible it may not be worth it.

If it was a toy poodle I'm sure it was somebody's pet.

As for the bumper, check into cooler options like Roush or GT500, as they're coming down in prices.

If I would've known you could find these so cheap I would have held off striping my bumper.

eBay.

You need new headlights and grille also. I'll be making a thread in just a second on this board regarding these bumpers so be on the lookout.
