Yeah, I look at it as an oppty to finally pull that bumper off and start on my front lip spoiler and fogs lights.



good think a front bumper is not too much $$ so cold it shattered a bit.

Found out the F is just a tad longer than the 350 the hard way - bumper scratch from the garage door handle. Minor, but will require a skilled airbrush touch up. Makes me wish I'd bought silver instead - it would hardly be noticeable on a light color.

Oh yeah, moved the wheel stop back a bit too so I can park without worrying.

Holy shi*! That's pretty bad, did you walk away alright? Did the airbags deploy?

Haha. Everyone was fine. Airbags didn't deploy since it wasn't straight on. Frikin deers. Popped out of nowhere at 4am. Another deer hit my friend's Lamborghini Gallardo at 11am. Ran out and slammed into his door.

Where in Florida did you run into those deer? I knew the keys had some small deers, but I just found out there are two rather large deers that live down the street from me in a rather small wooded area.

Very True...

But I just looked at his other thread and it seems its all Fixed up and running a JIC drop and VIP Modular wheels...

- Hopefully this took place before those other pics in his thread were taken.

Yes. This delayed the project 3 weeks. After the repairs were made, we got to work on this car.

There's a lot of deer in Gainesville/Ocala area as well; especially off the turnpike & I75 in the northern part of the state.





my damage from a concrete sidewalk w/ no curb stops in front of it.

I also backed the car into the wall of the parking garage at work about a month ago (yes, it has parking sensors and a rear camera and I somehow managed to back into the wall). The damage there is only noticable at certain angles, though.

I consider the rock chip on my a pillar from my vegas trip to be catostrophic!!!! I'm slowly learning to drive with the abundance of minor scratches here and there.

Can't protect my baby from everything...
