Deer Mating Season in NC!!
Well guys life sucks sometimes...Saturaday early morning I had a run in (literally) with a nice big female deer. Sucks, from what the officer said it is deer mating season now. Well hopefully the deer got some ass before she hit the solara.
Well I have 4300 dollars worth of damage to the car, all cosmetic. The front end, she caved the hood in, and broke all the headlamps, and bent the radiator. Luckily she did not come thru the glass. I have pics but do not know how to get them on the website......I am not computer language oriented. So if anyone can give me some tips, I would greatly appreciate it. I got them on the computer just not on a website and linked here.
Anyways, I went and talked with the local Toyota body shop and he said he will work with me on fixing it up, he said it will look good. My question is should I look into getting the carbon hood, I searched and it seems VIS makes the best, if anyone else has any opinions please let me know. On the hoods getting it here to NC and quickly would be my main concern. If I cant get the carbon hood, i am thinking about just adding a hood scoop, I prefer carbon fiber on that, any ideas where I could get one of them??....My car is red, so I think carbon will look good. The grill is busted. Anyone have any ideas on getting a new grill, my vehicle is a 2000. Also how about a headlamp conversion, has anyone done that, like fit another make of headlamps onto the solara, anyone know if another make will fit onto the solara body easily??...All ideas welcome, but I am going to have to think quick since I am going to be putting her in this wk to get repaired.
This really sucks, at least the front end will look better, and I get a new paint job.
Also a note about this forum, it rocks. Thanks guys and gals.
