Default Re: @#$%*&!! Stupid Deer...(bodyshop quote)

$4180 to fix it at a decent body shop.

For lack of any other ideas, I called the guy that used to do the service on my old 911SC years ago (and local Ferarri guru) and asked where he would go if it was his car.

I called the Chrysler dealer and fender/headlight/foglight/windshield are currently available new but not cheap.

I almost got around the b@st@rd but I hit him in the @ss with the right corner. I now have a deer-butt impression in the front of, and wrinkle in the side of, the fender.

Quote includes:
Used fender, used foglight, used headlight (I am insisting on new, only $40 more than used), fix the small tear in bumper near headlight and re-use, fix few small dents in hood and re-use, refinish scratches in upper windshield trim and re-use & replace windshield with new aftermarket item.

I have fairly deep hoof scratches/gouges in the windshield, but it did not break. I never thought about that possibiliity before! Chrysler windshield is $1050(!!!), aftermarket is $350.
