A long while ago, I hit a deer....then keyed a week later. Since I'm in the Army, I couldn't exactly get it fixed right away, I had a small trip overseas to make. After a long fight with Geico....they fixed it. The pictures aren't great, but I thought I would throw them up anyway.

And yes, I know it needs to be buffed from hell on the side skirts and roof, but going to wait for the paint to cure a bit before I get into that. It needs to be wet sanded badly after the paint...not the smoothest in the world. I can take care of that myself.

18x9.5 fronts and 18x10.5 rears. Tires are Verdstein Ultrac Sessantas, 275/35 and 295/35.

When I hit the deer, it ripped my entire front bumper off. I just strapped the KB Big Tube to one of the supports since it was hanging. They said they didn't want to move it.....lazy! I went to put the on while I was under there anyway only to find that they gave me the fog lights, just no screws for them (or bulbs). LMR...here I come. I also saw they didn't replace the plugs for the fog lights. It just ripped off the plugs on both side, they still have the wires taped up and taped to the radiator support.

I just finished the Mach 1 grill and chin spoiler.

I don't understand the mentality of someone who keys a car. I really wish i could catch someone doing it sometime because i think someone like that deserves to have their skull bashed in. I really Cannot fathom it...what a childish, pathetic, worthless person. They should all be castrated and sent to siberia...

I live on an Army base. Their regulations say that a vehicle be worked on, abandoned (not moved for 30 days, unless deployed), and must have a respectable appearance. When I hit the deer, it ripped off my front bumper, peeled my passenger fender halfway back, and crushed in my hood. While I was deployed, I got a notice on my vehicle that it was going to be towed for the damage. I came back for a 2 week leave and bought some crap to throw on it just so it would meet the appearance crap.

Flash forward to trying to get it fixed. Because I had removed the damage parts, and did not have the bumper (probably still on the side of the road in BFE), Geico told me that they could not repair the damage because the original items were not on the vehicle. We fought for 2 days before I wrote the main Geico office. The letter was not exactly nice, but the day after I wrote it, I got a called from the Geico adjuster saying that all damage would be fixed.
