So this morning on the way home from work. Round a turn that is uphill and BAMMM. HUGE Doe...I mean huge. So I lay into the brakes of course and slide into the Emergency lane and listen as the deer cartwheels over my Celica. The crazy thing is my sunroof was open, I am just glad no legs came in.
But as far as the damage goes. Bumper is pushed in about and inch or so....support structure is missing the radiator by maybe a few centimeters. Low Beams are way out of focus but intact. But, both High beams are destroyed, housings and all. I will post some pics if I get a chance. After looking at prices, it may be fesible to get Clear High Beams!!! If only I had some part numbers!! FYI: Insurance is gonna take care of it all. 0 Deductable Baby. |

glad to know you came out unscathed. sorry about the Celica tho'. if deer are a problem in your area i hear those ugly wildlife warning whistles do actually work.

make sure no tabs broke off of your low beams, cause those will need to be replaced get my drift

what's with celicas hitting deers now-a-days?
if the hood and low beams are damaged, might as well get the whole gt4 conversion with projectors.. -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
