Icon2 Frame Damage

Ok heres the deal: I hit a deer about a month ago and it caved in the front left part of the frame.. Its not a huge bend but because of it the front of the hood hangs over on that side alittle. So i was wondering if this is a fix i could do myself? and if so then how would i go about doing so? and if not then How much could i expect to spend if i get a body shop to do the work?? Thanks in advance

This is my guess.

New front end - $600

Radiator support - $100 (aftermarket)

Once you buy these parts u will still need some body work in order for them to fit properly

Body shop labor - $200 -$300
maybe less

oh yeah and get other wheels - $700 - 1000 lmao.

For the front hood don't fix that.. Get another one if you lucky at the scrap yard.. I saw you didn't you see jack stand to support the vehicle but use concrete block... dope...

I hope your not planning on putting a fiberglass front end on it again. You see what the deer was able to do with that.
Might not of been so bad had the fender been metal??
But who knows what kind of damage a deer will do i have seen cars being totaled.
Definately get the frame professionally fixed.
