Things were going good with the car so far, until yesterday morning.
If the picture doesn't attached, can someone please help me out.

The car has been taking to the body shop and we wait to see what the damage will be. The car only has 74000 miles on it, so keeping my fingers crossed the insurance adjuster will be nice.
Windshield, passenger mirror and passenger front fender? Or did it do more damage than that?
Luckily it missed the front end. The deer jumped in the side of the car. My 13 year old son was on the side the deer hit. His arm was cut and his nerves were rattled. Thank God for insurance!!Quote:

Thanks for sending me this. It got me to look to see how much the parts are going to be. How much do you charge for shipping? My zip is 28112Quote:

I'll work on getting a price. I have a friend at a body shop. So I should be able to get a box from him. Shipping will be what ever it cost me.Quote:

That much for a windshield!! Ok, time to go google a windshield to how much that costs. Only the fender got hit. All the damages are in the picture.Quote:

According to what I found on the net the windshield costs less than my deductible. I did not find anything that was close to 1000.00 bucks.
No matter what you would have to pay your deductible anywhere from 250-500 dollars depending on who you are with and what guidelines they follow for hitting animals.
I have comprehensive coverage on the car. It was only a few dollars more a month, so my deductible is 250. If you don't have the extra coverage on your policy, you might want to check into it. This also covers weather related things, like hail for example.Quote:

Yeah I do. This car has never been wrecked and yes I want oem parts even if the parts are used. I would be better off taking duct tape to the fender before having a after-market pos fender.Quote:

I had my windshield replaced with an OEM one at an auto-glass place. It cost me $230.
You are VERY lucky that deer did not come out in front of you and hit the side of your car. I've been in a truck once going only 10-15MPH and we hit one dead on. It was like running into a brick wall, and it was a lot smaller than 110lb. I would guess it weighed closer to 60lb.
Wow glad everyone is okay..
I hit a dog sized deer square with my 89 Camaro @ ~70+mph..
Car did'nt even flinch..:lol:
I had the front windshield replaced in the 98 for $0.00.
Living a state where internal car temps approach 140* or higher during the summer days means that full glass coverage is the norm...
Idk where he gets his windshields but I replaced mine for $150 with install!Quote:

I had a very close encounter yesterday morning with a good size doe....at 80 mph. I still don't know how I missed her, but that would have sucked. Thankfully I was driving the work truck anyway with brush guard, but still...at 80, I'd be hurting.
Damn that sux . Hope ur sons okay,and that u get ur car fixed soon
It's called padding now who wrote the estimate the insurance company or the autoshop?Quote:

It will be Monday before I know, so the waiting game still plays out.Quote:

Unless there is damage that can't be seen, that should only cost about $1500 - $2000 MAX!! Ask me how I know, been through this once or twice :whistle:

Glad to hear you and your son are okay. Glad to hear you have insurance and the Camaro will live on
Ok, just got an email from the body shop...estimate is 4200k
I have to go get the paper copy to see what this includes. This includes having the whole car clear coated. I want the paint to match :)
OP do you still need a price on the fender I have? I just got a chance to get it out and measured. I should be able to call Monday and get a price on shipping.
i ran over a dead one in the middle of the road one time in the Z. it was like running over a rolled up rug . the only difference was it left about 3 pounds of hamburger and hair on the bottom of my car . the LM1 was covered with deer DNA and stunk like the worst burnt hair and hamburger. i went to th all nite car wash and the shit that was coming out was gross . no real damage just a stink mobile for a while. i can still find tufts of hair under the car and it happened 6 years ago
She is back!! I am so happy with the work that has been done to her. She looks great. I need someone to post pictures directly to this thread. I have them on my profile in a album.
The pricetag was $3800.

Congrats!! :yay:
Glad everything worked out for you. :woot:
Yeah, me too! After the first week I learn to become very patient. She stayed in the body shop for about a month. It took them two days just to get the glass out of the car and we are still finding glass, which is going to happen. But it is all good now.Quote:

I wish it were just these three things, but it wasn't. A total of 48.5 hours was spent on the car.Quote:

The whole right side was painted, buffed and wet sanded.
Right fender-266.44
Windshield-281.25
Mirror-144.30
Here is a picture of the door glass, you can clearly see it's scratched from the mirror.
