hit a damn deer
yeh so I was driving back home cuz i forgot my stupid shorts for the gym and I look down for a sec to turn up the heat and BAM I look up and nail a deer...hit that thing at like 40mph...my bumper, hood, and right quarter panel are fucked and are prolly gonna need to be replaced. Now my question is since I have such high insurance, I'm not goin through it....i'm gonna pay outta my pocket, what do u guys think i should do...provide the parts, or have them provide...look around junk yards...ebay or what...i aint tryin to get the best job either..somethign simple my car as 111k miles and I'm tryin to sell it soon...what should I do..i havent got any quotes yet..it will prlly be like this for a while since i got no doe.

I hit one just a few months ago....damn greased forest cows.
I paid for my own stuff - didnt want the hike in payment from something that I couldnt control at all. H-T classifieds are a GREAT place for good used parts. I know for a fact there theres a 96-98 fender on there right now. Bumpers are on quiet often too. I'd say check ebay...but good luck finding something you want, when you want it. Thats a nice, clever play on words there: "since I got no doe" Intentional I hope. |

Gotta search for it man...I couldnt tell you the title of the thread if i had to...
It is more work, if its another color, since it has to be removed. But any quality paint shop will do resurfacing on anything anyway - shouldnt cost much more, if at all. You could always spray paint remover (aircraft) on metal parts and remove it yourself. That shit is NASTY and will literally eat flesh from your bones - so wear 2 layers of latex/rubber gloves (not vinyl...it eats that too) Edit** Did some looking for you: http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1033982 http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=986533 http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1052447 http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1055832 http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread...19446#12419446 Still couldnt find the thread I saw around lunch time...went through 30 pages too |

^ i don't want to be the bearer of bad news. But hitting a deer is considered an act of god. And is covered by you insurance with no premium change.
Call your agent. |

Hair...skin...blood...whatever. I ran over a dead one a few years ago on the highway and that funk stayed with the car for like a month. Blood on your exhaust pipes deserves a big

I hit a deer couple of years ago and im high risk (my insurance is 549 a month) and they covered it without a word or raising my rates. You would need a poilce report.... Did you kill the deer? If so then go back and call he cops. If not, then speak to your agent and they may cover it if its like he said. taken from an insurance site Quote:

Hitting a deer is an act of god? Ive never heard that before.. neat.
Last spring, this guy my bf worked with hit a deer going 40-45mph and ruined his JDM sirG front conv and even cracked his window... odd enough, he filed with the local police department of car theft at the mall after mall hours because he had driven off with some friends earlier.. leaving his car behind for a few hours thinking the security at the mall was secure. Anyway, it worked and he got like $4k for it to fix his mess.. was this story necessary? i dunno, but I thought i'd tell it.  btw: sorry to hear about your car.. i would personally buy parts from junk yards to patch it up.. or just part the entire car. Good luck =]
