So I'm driving along Jacksonville Rd. in Lower Bucks County, PA going the 45mph speed limit with my brother riding shotgun on the way back from our parent's house, when all of the sudden there are 2 deer in the middle of the road. I slammed the brakes and swerved around the first one (the larger of the two, thankfully), and as I pull the wheel back to the right to avoid the second one (not to mention oncoming traffic), the b@stard moves right with me and THUMP...as the car stops the dead center of the front hits him right on the @ss. The deer gets popped up and forward like a golf ball punched with a wedge, lands 1/2 on its rear-end, half on its side, skids for about 10 feet, then gets up, leaps a fence and runs away. The other one looked around for sec, then followed suit.

So I'm sitting there like "what the f**k just happened". Obviously we were both fine, the airbags didn't even go off. And while there wasn't an enormous jarring crash, it made a hell of a noise and had to travel at least 15 feet in the air. I get out and check the front, expecting to find some serious damage, only to see that the grill is cracked and the Chrysler logo on the end of the hood is slightly depressed. Amazing.

Pics are attached. Damn deer!

So I'm thinking about getting this grille. Anyone know if this is a straight-up replacement, rather than something that clips on to the original? The hood damage is superficial and I'm 90% sure they'll just tap it back into form.

Any info on the grille would be appreciated, though.
