My newer car, rare custom deer mod

[GeforceXtreme]

Well I finally broke down and got myself somewhat of a newer car. My super-beater was just getting pretty old, and it was time to retire it for the time being. I came across this older guy selling a 2000 Regal GSE. He did not have the room anymore for the car, because his company gave him another car. Well of course the day i drove the car, the CEL light came on, so he basically said that if I worry about getting it fixed myself, he will let the car go for nothing. So we agreed and I bought the car. I took it to my buddies shop and did a full tune up on the car (one of the spark plug wires was bad causing the CEL). So after the full tune up, the car runs like new. I have to say the L67 is a pretty fun motor, and I love the SC. So far I have rotated the dog-bones 90* and installed a FWI. The funny thing about the car, before I was paying $960 a year for insurance, and now with the newer car it went down to $560 a year? I almost **** myself when I saw the new quotes. Well two weeks ago I am driving down one of the roads (a little faster then I should have) and a group of deer came out of no where. I missed the first one, nailed the second one, and the second one nailed itself into the third deer. So having the car only a few months, its already damaged. Even if it is damaged, it could have been worse. I can still drive the car, just looks "great". I am going to have to replace the hood, fender, bumper cover, head light, and lower door trim piece. I am doing it out of pocket, because of the cost I paid for the car, I didn't bother to get full coverage. Does anyone know of any 97-04 Regal's or Century's in any junkyards?. If not new GM parts are going to be pricey. I have heard mixed stories about buying after market body parts. Well the pictures are posted below. The day after I hit the deer.

Those cars are sleepers.

Well i got two new GM head lights, and I missed a freaking auction by 5min for a brand new GM hood (still in the box). I contacted Al's and they said they are getting a a regal in sometime this week. So I hope it works out. I rather get all used or new GM parts, then after market.

That sucks, I had the same thing happen to me with the deer.

I wanted one of those regals but I couldn't find any with decent miles. They make a nice sleeper,

That sucks about the deer man, I hate those bastards. I've hit 3 at different points in my life so far. but honestly, apart from the headlights I wouldn't do a damn thing. It is called a beater for a reason. Imagine you were driving your real car.

Why not let insurance handle it? That's what you get it for.

Congrats man, you'll notice most of those L67 guys remove a headlight anyway for ram-air mods anyway lol (no, seriously, they do!)

Pulley and CAI, you'll have a quick sleeper, good luck!
