Default Truck Hurt

Well the trucks heading in to the body shop next week. Deer decided to not cross at the deer crossing sign and ran right in the driver side of my truck. Destroyed both fender flares, cracked the paint on the door, screwed up the bedside and scratches from here to there. $2900 damage to it....just dumbfounded and how quick it happened. I will try to post some pics if I can......

she was trying to get you before you got her! that sucks, the custom work on the paint will make it harder to match too.

i hit one 2 days after i got my lisence... some bitch came out of no where, my little tacoma took a bit of a beating, but the deer was worse off... after i hit it, it was trying to drag itself off the road so i put it in reverse and backed over that bastards neck... it was a little tough but still good
i just needed a new radiator and bumper... if i hit one with my dodge, im sure the damage would be much more

That sucks, did the grill guard help at all? How did it take out both front fender flares?
