Default Hit a deer

Wondering what will come of this?
Is it time to hit up ebay and get some custom front grill, fenders and hood?
Or just return it to stock assuming they do not total it?

Input?

If you drove home with bent bumper, hood and fender, it won't be totalled.

at least with the new fender you can lose that red flame sticker

It most likely wont be totaled. I would go for aftermarket parts

Looks like he hit you looking at the damage. That's what my dumb buck did. lol



They totaled mine because he flipped out of the windshield, after head butting me, and finished off the drivers side.

How did the radiator, and condenser coil take it? I would say a negative on total.

They work for what they were invented for, which is to get suckers to pay several dollars for a few cents' worth of plastic. For keeping deer from getting in your way on the highways? Not so good . . . .
