Yikes...

That's always one of my concerns when we're driving at night... or even in the day in some areas.

Hope you get that fixed and it comes out the way you want.

Ouch!!! Good luck with the repair ...
I would take that ACI front spoiler and modify it but you are in Houston ...
If you are in DFW, I would take that off your hand ...
Wanna trade for some stripes ?

What is your definition of "small"? From your pics it looks like you hit a large dog or maybe a small pink elephant . In all seriousness, sorry about your troubles and I hope you get your baby all fixed up and back on the road soon.
