    Well I hit a dam deer over the weekend and I'm gonna have to go buy a new hood and passenger fender. Anyone ever had to do this? Should I just buy one online and pay the outrageous shipping or do u think if I found them at a junk yard it would be better? I have to get my car repainted anyways because the clear coat is peeling really bad on the passenger side. What do you think?

    wow. One useful peice of info! THANK YOU! lol and ya thought about emptying my pocket on the hood scoop but didnt really think it was worth it. And ya the deer was definately running fullspeed. Being an avid hunter and deer hunter I have a keen eye for deer usually. But this one was on meth. Trust me. I saw it run into me.
