Default Damn deer

well I hate that these are the first pics that I post of my car.....I hit a deer on the way home friday night and pretty much killed the front of my car. I saw him on the road in front of me, and locked the brakes up and hit him in a four wheel slide. I hit the front right corner, and he fell around and hit the back of my car. I was sick after it happened but I'm slowly getting over it and am thankful that I'm not hurt.

Plans are to rebuild with a full GT body kit, a cervini's 67' ram air hood, and a shelby GT-H billet grille.

Oh yeah, lol the car is a 2006 v6 convertible, the modifications so far were limited to a pony package grille and fogs, and pony package side emblems. The grille is destroyed now though.

Just thought I'd show you guys.

Just got mine back from being fixed from deer damage. Sorry to hear it, yours is much worse than mine. Hope things work out better in the end.

Good reason to get a nice aftermarket hood!

Speaking of hoods are they tough to install? I've heard you can't just buy one, paint it, and put it in yourself as easily as unscrewing the old one and just dropping the new one in.

i feel your pain. i didn't even have 3k on mine when i hit bambi. the deer lived until i got out and choked him to death. screwed up the hood, passenger fender had to be replaced, headlight bezel, and smashed in the passenger door. at least the air bags didn't deploy.
