hit a deer, need a rec for fixing

So i hit a deer on the way to work on 270. It blew out a fog light, and cracked the aero lip and bumper.

Can anyone recommend a shop to fix it and also a place to get the mtech front since i figure i might as well get that instead of a new bumper and lip.

Mtech front is very hard to come by, expect to pay 1000+ for it even if you found one...

Damn, that sucks. I've noticed a lot of dead deer on the sides of the road recently. This year seems worse than usual.

sucks to hear goat......


the deer are just now getting into pre-rut, in about 2 weeks it will be chaos in the woods, which means we need to be careful on the roads!

re: the squirrels.........I have seen a lot of those tree rats hit lately.

Yea, it was early in the morning, right by Quince Orchard exit.

Anyways, I know the M-tech is hard to come by, but the cost of the aero kit+front bumper might be estimated close to the price of getting one. Not to mention it blew out the fog light completely.

The estimator is coming tomorrow, I just need to figure out where to get the work done. After looking at it, the damage is a lot more excessive than I thought.

Bring it over to Sharrett in Hagerstown, I take care of all the parts for the bodyshop, and we really need the work. I'll try to hook you up with the bumper if you have the extra cash to put towards it

I know a place up near me that can do the install and paint. Not sure if it's worth the trip up here though.
