They'll put the parts on then likely paint and blend to make sure. And even if you found a good black one it still may not match up, depends on the wear and tear it has seen (weather and such).

I do paint and body and my buddy does AWESOME work for cheap. He is an actual professional and has some work he can show you. We're in Alvarado, just south of Burleson. PM me for more info. You won't find better work for the price. I promise. He is good.

Where in the hell did you hit a deer around here? lol

These things should be reported to the insurance right away, if you have any dear parts left on the car, like hair and what not id try to take photos to prove you did hit the deer. Best to take pictures when this happens as they want you to prove it was a deer you in fact hit and not a tree, or whatever.

Great well when it happened I called the 800 number on my card and the lady that answered did not tel me she was just an answering service. But did tel me since no other vehicles were involved and no other personal property that a report was not needed. Live and learn I guess I will be talking to a supervisor tomorrow

Well the good thing is your OK. Could have been a Bigfoot or a moose lol. I would probably take a bag of deer jerky in a ziplock, give it to them and tell them to enjoy the evidence and to grant your claim. But that's my sense of humor. Really glad your ok man. Could have been much worse and those monster trick tickets would have been waste lol.
