Smashed a deer in my Camaro last week - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Looks pretty nasty, but easily fixed. Nice to see they can take a hit. I've hit 3 deer in my Tahoe, but with the brushguard I just hit them and go over the top. Did the deer hit the windsheild at all?

Oh deer!:(

Nope deer didn't even damage the Hood. I had to replace the DR fender, bumper cover, marker light, inner fender, head light, Grille, and thats about it.

They can always put the stock bumper on the shelf for a while. Someone else is bound to need a new Camaro bumper soon. Order the ZL1 bumper to go with the Heritage grill and have something truly unique.

I'd love to but I don't feel like waiting for my car longer lol When I get a new hood I might put a ZL1 front clip on. Or maybe just save up some cash and buy a ZL1

YOU KILLED BAMBI!

At least you're okay. Your car can be repaired.

hightower · 02-06-2012, 10:50 PM

Damn that's still some serious damage!

LIM3 · 02-06-2012, 10:51 PM

where are the deer pics

t&t moyer · 02-06-2012, 11:17 PM

I've hit a couple deer over the years, repaired more cars than I can even begin to count while working in the business and can say you were pretty lucky. It could have been waaaaaaay worse.

Easy fix boss!

MaRoFreK · 02-07-2012, 03:40 AM

Yeah, I'm thankful it wasn't worse and no one was injured. I've seen some pretty nasty car vs deer accidents

2011ss/rs · 02-07-2012, 04:57 AM

I just went through it myself, One dead deer in the middle of the road happened to take out three cars and two out of three are 11 SS/RS Camaros. If you plan on making changes to the car now is time to do it grill, nose, painted stripes whatever do it now and save on the labor money. Get as much from your auto insurance as you can and make sure they will deal with your employer before they begin working on your car.

Good luck and glad to hear you were not injured

MaRoFreK · 02-07-2012, 05:06 AM

I work at a Chevrolet dealership so their treating me right

. Luckily the deer I hit bounced outta the road into the ditch.
