Ran over a dead deer. Pretty good excuse to upgrade

I ran over a dead deer last week. All of my underpanel stuff except for my Carbing aluminum underpanel came off, along with my left fender liner. My JUN carbon fiber lip went flying and my front bumper is broken. Besides that everything is fine.

So I picked up the Varis front bumper (which has a cf lip) from a member who had it for sale. I'll be ordering the Varis canards to go with this bumper. I also have this Valdi Sport rear bumper, so I'll be getting them both painted and installed next week.





I'll do a photoshoot once it's all done.

It has the same cut on the other side. This bumper is expensive, but the overall price is very good when you take the carbon fiber part into consideration. That Test and Service rear bumper is $1200 without any carbon fiber bits.

Overall, it's my favorite bumper currently out. I used to joke about getting it if anything happens to my JUN lip. Well, something happened.

This is the finished product with the canards.

That's what happen when dumb people killed deer and don't call 911 to remove the deer off the road. Other people's car get damage along the way too.
