Some pictures of the damage following the deer hit. I gotta say that I'm pretty impressed with how well the body panels held up in general. I mean I hit that thing pretty hard. Here is the dent where the deer's head struck, and the damage to the headlight (some plastic housing piece broke inside):

Body damage where the ass-end of the deer hit. You can't really see it where the damage is on the driver's door, but the passenger door is obvious. You can still see where I hit the deer so hard it shat on the car.

A sneak peak at the bling!

Going to have the body shop paint them as a side job while it's in there and probably have them install them too. They didn't come with any mounting hardware or holes drilled, so the last thing I want to do is crack fresh paint. Matching lip will be here shortly too... I'll get pics of it when I get it back!
