Looks like an easy fix. You're out your deductable, and the car for a week or so while it's being fixed, but nothing major.
Insurance will only cover your aftermarket parts if it's part of your policy, which it probably isn't.

Glad you are OK bro. Thank God no one was hurt.
The dent in your hood is from the deer's head.
Aftermarket parts that are 'permanently installed' are covered under CPE (Custom Parts and Equipment) insurance. This is often lsited under Comprehensive depending on your policy. I am with State Farm and all my cars of comprehensive, and thus are covered for aftermarket stuffs.
FWIW comprehensive insurance is usually what would cover hitting an animal.

As others have said, could've been a lot worse.

That is my car. The body part behind the car was the back part of a fawn which got cut up by the front passenger side pillar. The back part landed on my lap. I was very lucky to have walked away unharmed.

</st1:State>Ontario) and $13K plus rental of an ES350. The interior (eg seats, head liners etc) had to be replaced.

</OI just got quoted for the damage and the shop said it's gonna run me ~$7500 and will be done by 11/4. Hoping I get it back by then so I can have it for my last autocross event of the season that weekend
They take pictures of the work that they've done for the day too and they upload pics onto their website. Kind of neat to seat it progress.
In the mean time I got a rental from Nationwide - a Chrysler 300. Ugh it's so ugly. And it literally feels like I'm driving a boat. I'm almost embarrassed to drive it. How did you manage to get a Lexus??
Thanks for the kind words everyone

Wow I just noticed that thing laying behind your car! I would've freaked the f out if it's leg was just laying on me.

</OThe insurance company is obliged to give me a rental with an equivalent classification to my car. There is a maximum rental cost per claim which I don’t remember.

</OMake sure you mention to the repair shop that you have the self-healing paint (if you have that on your car).<O</O<O

Good luck.

They said they're getting me all oem parts so hopefully I won't have to worry about them painting it.
