Default New Headlight Mod!

Last night I did this new headlight mod to my car. Im thinking it going to take atleast a second off my 1/4 mile time. Well The damage could have been a lot worse since I hit the deer going 70mph. Oh well atleast that deer will not be jumping infront of any other cars. Deer jerky anyone?

Dude, I hope you took the deer home and cleaned it. You'll have enough venison to last a year, if it was a good sized specimen!

I hate deer - stupidest frigging animals around when it comes to crossing roads except for porcupines. Good to see you didn't scoop it up over the hood.

Dude that sucks, but look on the positive side, good excuse for a cf hood(if your into that stuff) and a fresh paint job on the stone chipped bumper, at least it looks chipped to me.

The hood needed to be repainted imo but the bumper was ok prior. Those are just a lot of dead bugs. A couple of us checked the deer and there was really nothing left worth keeping. Smaller deer and I messed it up pretty good.
