I just got mine back from the body shop after hitting a deer a few weeks ago.
On the plus side, my front end now is perfect again with no tiny paint chips/marks.
Sorry about yours and good luck.

Sorry for the bad luck. I kinda live out in the country and it's a little hilly. I'm always worried about a critter being in the road when I pop over a hill. Being lowered and with an ACI front spoiler doesn't leave alot of room, I'd be sick too. Hopefully you'll be up and running before long.

A lot of people don't know it, but the force of the impact spreads laterally, and often destroys the integrity of the corner lights. It'd probably be in your best interest to pull those clear corners out and sell them to me rrreeal cheap, thereby avoid future problems. Just a thought.

BTW: seriously, sorry for the damage, it stinks when your baby gets hurt.

Beginning to worry about you.

1. No one on forum drives a PINK car unless....
2. Killing poor defenseless animals.
3. Bambi is sitting in woods, shivering.

Sorry to hear the bad news. Armadillo, coons and other critters are major obstacles for C-5's.
