Default I hit a ******* deer.

Country road, going the speed limit, brights on, deer came out of no where and smacked straight into my fender, (didn't touch the front bumper at all)

pics. (host is being sucky right now, may have to refresh a few times to get pics to show)









Anyone know how best this is going to be repaired? or how an autobody might repair it? how easy is that piece to replace? thats like, the entire side of the car I'm guessing you can't ??

looks more like the deer hit you. I doubt they have to replace that piece. Can probably pull most of it out, fill in the rough spots, sand it, paint it.

Thats gonna be fine, (dont ask me how i know! ) but yeha... I have had a similiar hit in that same damn spot.

they will pop things back into place, putty it, straighten everything out and make her look as good as new.

Its all about who does it! , Make sure they take the rear window out and dont half-*** it.. or else you will be getting chipped paint alongside the window edge in a few months...

Also, make sure they align the Type r sticker right

PS- Looks like 1500-2500$ damage, going thru insurance yah?

I think they will have replace it because its such a sharp crease. Prepare to be ITR-less for a few weeks, to a month depending how busy shops are around you.

sorry to see that. i ran over a squirrel the other day. it dashed across the street as i was driving by. i couldnt stop since there was a car riding my *** cause i was going the speed limit in a residential. i see it run across, lose it under my car and look in the rear view mirror to see if it made it safely across but it didnt. It was upside down and still alive, until the next car came by and ran it over.

looks to be over 2 grand in damage maybe more

also i would get a new rear quarter but that also means losing the oem panel with the factory vins on it...

new oem panel is like 400-600 bucks, plus labor paint

is there any damage to the door or is it just the fenders?
