Rep Power: 233 Deer * 55 mph + 2001 EX = $2000+ damage
OK so i have a 2001 ex and i hit a deer Friday. I missed it completely and the guy going the other direction hit it back into my lane, awesome
Anyway front bumper, inner fender, left front fender, door, back wheel and rear bumper & brackets are all toast. Sooooooooooooo........
I was thinking of this kit let me know if u like or if u have any pics of it on a 01-03 civic.
Thanx,
Martz

Rep Power: 0 That is the funniest thing I have ever read, don't get me wrong I'm sorry about your car, I just can't believe that the deer was hit back into your lane... I don't know what got pwned the most in that exchange, the deer or you car.

Rep Power: 257 i thought u had bronze or gold rims from that first pic. what is it, blood or dirt? might look alil better with bronze or gold rims, but still looks nice in silver. are u dropped at all? the kit would look awsome with a drop.

Rep Power: 309 a deer t-boned me while i was going only 15mph, and it cost me $2000 also it ****ed up my driverside fender & door.
I really wish that it had been on the road so that I could at least swerve out of its way. instead it came out from the bushes and decided to tackle my car

Rep Power: 0 I think that the bumper might be a little bulky but if you can fill out the gaps some how (intercooler or mesh or something) then it will look fine, and this is definitely a reason to get new bumper instead of a oem and a lip imo. also the rims are silver but I would suggest powdercoating them bronze cause in that shot with the grime on em where the look bronze I think it make your car look better.

Rep Power: 0 Nah, I agree, the front bumper is a little too bulky and ricey imo. Go oem w/ lip.
Oh and btw, when a deer gets hit by a car, especially as bad as he hit this one it sounds, the meat bruised and isn't any good. Just thought I would let yall know.

Rep Power: 0 HAHA I thought you had bronze rims too by the first pic!! Sucks about the car, but looks like you made out of it ok for the most part. Compared to what could of happened. Not a fan of that front bumper though, have seen other kits that look much better. However not sure of names. I like stock with lip on personally. But kit may be cheaper than oem. Post some pics when you pic something.
