Default (Edited) $6200 Dead Deer

Not much to show but it definately needs a shine... Took these pics today while at the body shop discussing replacements. Doesn't look like much, but this little **** hap is worth $6200 parts and labor.

Good news is, when I get it back in a week or so it will have an OEM Tahoe grille, billet bowtie, painted bumper cap and clear corners.

I don't see any way that should cost anywhere near 6 grand. I hope your insurance covered it.

What I failed to mention guys is that the airbags were also deployed and the passenger side window is blown off track. The airbags alone are near $3000 for brand new factory replacements. It's over $6200 worth.

not to jack your thread but I have a quick question that doesnt warrant its own thread. Does the chrome strip on the front of the grill come off without breaking? I see your's did, but I was wondering if they come off with out hitting a deer...
