Nailed a Deer with my 08 G37S :( (Pictures)

As im coming home from work (2nd day on the new job) on a dark night at around 11:30, im going slow because i had seen a few cops in the area so i didnt want to get pulled over, my eyes on the road and out of no where a deer hits my front left fender denting that and cracking the headlight, then ends up spazzing out just on the front beginning of my hood (small dent). the deer then falls off and walks it off... I was going about 30mph, im just happy im not injured, but now my car is in the shop, just hope she looks good when she gets out :'( and when i popped the hood my radiator cover was cracked along with a missing pushpin, my bumper was also cracked and scratched, and not to mention the fender,hood and bumper all out of place.

Damn...I hope you can get your pinstriping redone properly. Since its not a factory piece and was added by you (or the dealer sometimes) the body shop will only be able to replicate it at best. Went through that with an old car. Good luck and sorry....

That was the second one that day. Came within feet of hitting the first one while going through a tight right hand curve. Bikes and cows don't mix well.

Sorry for the bad luck. I have hit 5 deer in my G. Yeah 5 and I have been fortunate to come away with only minor damage. I hit two deer and on the way back form getting the estimate for that damage I almost hit 4 deer. I had to turn between them all good thing for my GT Spec braces and Michelin pilot ss I missed them all. Then a month later deer runs out of the grass in middle of the highway and rams into my quarter panel! Crazy! Lol.

I bought mine with a pinstripe as well....too afraid to take it off cuz it's gonna ghost on the car. Get ragged on it daily (cough Diego, James, everyone in south Florida). Sorry to hear and see what happened man, hope it can be easily fixed and nice to see someone else here with a pinstripe =)
