    Looks great Mark.

    What's the story on the front bumper cladding being a different color than the fender?

    It was that way before, just wondering if the front was newer?

    Well gosh...I can't remember everything...

    But it does look shiny & new, & I thought I caught a wiff of that "new deflector smell", so I thought I'd ask...

    Change your name!!! Maybe and new set of brake pads then call yourself " ChickMagnet" the outcome will be more pleasant. Just Joken, glad everything turned out OK, except for Bambi

    I agree with Mark.
    We have a similar gadget for sale in Australia for scaring away kangaroos.
    I fitted them to my new Subaru in 2002, and hit 2 kangaroos in 6 months.
    Took them off, and hit nothing since.

    Vehicles don't kill deer...drivers do.

    I've had my share from back when I lived in rural Arkansas. Hardest thing in the world to do driving is hit an animal instead of reacting to miss them and have an even worse fate...

    One thing to keep in mind is that deer do NOT have a reverse setting on their transmission. If a collision is inevitable, aim for their arse ... chances are better than 50% that it will lunge forward & you'll be lucky and miss it without losing control or almost lucky & give it a glancing blow.

    If you try to squeeze in front of a spooked deer, you've just doubled your chances of hitting it.

    BTW, 90% of all statistics are 70% correct so you can take the above percentages as absolute truth.

    also... 76.3% of percentages are made up on the spot
