Need a front bumper? Go with a CS! Make lemonade out of lemons.

Sorry to hear about this man! That just sucks. But like you said, that's what insurance is for.

My BOSS splitter has damage on it from hitting a cat at 70mph the other day. Just scratches and such, didn't even pull it loose. Some paint scratched on the bumper too. I'll end up getting it fixed when I finally get my hail damage taken care of.

That's not bad at all, the important thing is that no one was injured.

Times like these make you 1. thankful none of your skeleton was injured and 2. happy that you now get pretty new body panels/paint.

I want to put a pushbar on the front of my car, so I can just drive right through them:roflmao:

Brandon, oh no! Whatever you do, get the car fixed for the last drag rental at Cecil in November! We have to race each other one last time for the season. 11.89 against the 11.87 all motor on stock short blocks. How tight can you get????

I live in an area with a high deer population and I always assume a deer is going to jump out. Better to be scanning the sides of the road than be caught off guard!

I always do that too, im a hunter i know how deer are.. especially bucks during the rut.


Just these 3 does ran at me on a angle and 2 of the bigger ones stopped dead infront of me.. im thinking if i was to hit them instead of pulling off the road that my car would've deff. been totalled going 45MPH at two 100+ lb deer...

Brandon, I just purchased most of the parts for the gt500 conversion. Most of the parts were about 950 or so from Tousley and that isn't including the fogs or the bumper. I'm thinking all said and done I'm going to have about 1650 in my front end.

Fogs
headlights
upper and lower grille
supporting brackets r&l
rad cover
splitter
foam cover
pigtails(or make your own)
some people do inner fender wells(i'm going to try to modify mine)
and you'll also need to take the brackets that hold the turn lights out of the gt bumper and put in the new gt500 bumper

bodyshop just called me, they havent even begun ripping the car apart.. They said my adjuster gave me the "bare bones" estimate... So Allstate needs to go to the shop and look further into it.

So as of now idk what we are going to do... basically on hold until the adjuster & shop go over the car.

Well hopefully good news on it once they tear into it. You'll end up paying additional money to do the gt500 (i'm venturing to say) even if you were to have to get most of the parts for the front bumper(lights included) which you probably won't. It would look sick though!
