yea i would deff just pay the deductible. one of my old EKs had a run in with a deer a long time ago and it i fixed it myself. it would be alot faster and alot less of a headach if you didnt have to look at it.

It's gonna be more than $500......I sawz u at that body shop yesterday on my way home. Be picky after the repairs cuz that color is a bitch to paint match even after a blend. If u want u can bring it by my work after the repairs and I'll put my good eye on it.

Yea. I'm going to go over it really well. I just got the estimate sent to my email and I printed it out. There are some things that I noticed that I need to call the guy on.

yeah that will indeed be more than $500. Just make sure EVERYTHING is on the estimate, even if you think it was related tell the estimater about it.

I'll tell u what u need, here is an estimate on what I can see in the pics.

-replace hood
-replace right headlamp (can't tell if there is scuffs, but I imagine there is, and it should most likely be an oem h/l, cuz most aftermarket companies don't make si parts)
- 2-3 hours on right fender and replace pin stripe (check to see if there and bowes or damage that carried to the back of the fender....if so most likely replacement will be done and add blend and R&Is to right door)
-R&I front cover and 3-4 hours repair or replacement, which ever is cost effective. (again being and si maybe oem???)
-R&I grille and 1-2 hours repair.

open items could be core support damage, if so they would set up and measure and pull on it, plus spot refinish. And it kinda looks like the right fog light surround has a scuff, but I can't tell, if so replace.
