Finally, after six weeks, I got my car back. I have to get it washed and take some pics, but it looks great.

what the hell is with all the deer sympathy? deer wreck the hell out of people cars and nearly kill people, because they are just about the stupidest animals alive. i live by mountains so there is lots of deer around at night, and its like its a game to them. i will be driving down the street and they will not run out across the street until i am within 20 feet of them. ive hit one and almost hit god only knows how many deer. Luckily I was in my beater accord when I hit the deer and not the lex, or I would have made sure to get out of the car and finish the job

not that im some monster that hates animals, but seriously, deer are some stupid *** animals.
its a good thing your alright

The deer was large, plus the speed of 75MPH didn't help. I promise to post pics soon.

Here is some pics. They are not the best, but the car was clean so I figured why not. Sorry I went picture crazy!

The shop did a fantastic job. Now I need a place that can put the protective film on the front. The hood is nice and perfect.

Farmers insurance paid $7K for the demage. I work everything out with the shop so my cost was 0. If you were the buy the bumper it's about 800 plus 250 for the grille plus paint. I would say roughly $1500.

Glad to see your car is back in good health!! The bodyshop did an amazing job - panel gaps are the same and the color match seems to be perfect as well as the finish of the paint itself!

Of course it also looks a lot better than stock with the L-sportline bumper and RMM grille!!

I hit a deer about a month ago, but luckily for me, it was a very small deer (it looked like a baby) and only my license plate (mandatory here in Canada) was damaged. The unfortunate deer must have died though.
