my 1st dent

[GODZILLA]

hit a deer,was able to pop the grills back in etc,no air bag deployment,09 base only 33k miles,org owner,the force bent the deer around & kinked the fender.

Looks like you had a close call there! No air bag deployment just saved you a ton of money! Heck, it looks like you didn't even lose any clips that hold the front bumper fascia on ....... that's great! Should be a minor repair if you choose to fix/replace the fender. Good luck

Ouch! Was it a small deer? I've seen a couple of cars with deer damage, and they were a lot worse than that. The previous owner of my GT actually hit Bambi in it. I wondered what caused the indentation in the bumper cover, and then I found a video about it on FB. Probably explains why the whole front bumper is barely held together too.

Ouch ! At least the damage wasn't that bad and the airbags didn't deploy. Keep us updated on any repairs, etc.

Sorry for the late reply.I went & got a estimate this AM. $608.00,that sounded reasonable.I left the Vibe there & it should be done Fri.
Their shop rate is $50.00 per Hr,2 stage paint etc,etc.

That's not too horrible... just a fender and not even the hood. You lucked out kind of, in the scheme of things could have ended up being the front bumper, hood, windshield, A pillars, roof, front fender, mirror and door skin. Hope the shop does a great job. That's a nice low miles '09. Pop a picture on here when it's done for us all to see.

Good luck!
