Doe! That sucks but it could have been a lot worse. Glad the only injuries were to the car.

Have you checked the components under the skin? Like the headlight mounting plate, the fuel vapor canister, fuel filler bits, etc.

I haven’t. It literally just happened. I was mostly venting, not making a list of all the components that need to be replaced.

I have all of that stuff just outside of Philadelphia, and likely everything else you would need.

Damn dude that’s horrible and luckily it was the fender area because I’ve seen the aftermath of a deer going through the windshield and really messing up the driver. The damage doesn’t look terrible and hope it gets fixed to your liking.

I had a similar deer incident. Insurance covered the repair at an authorized Porsche bodyshop to the tune of $14K.

Oh deer.

I almost had the same thing during a 6-mile run on Shades of Death Road, The "Bambi" population is large since most shelter in or around local housing areas where vegetation is plentiful and cannot be accessed during hunting season. Since I live near Jenny Jump, my second vehicle for winter driving is a Nissan Frontier with an ARB bull bar mounted on the front.....and yes, the bull bar has been repaired once since I hit two deer, with no damage to the rest of the truck. However, I am curious as to where you took your Porsche to have the work performed....and were you happy with the results?

Work was performed at Moppert Collision in Swedesboro. They used all new panels and removed others for painting. Only issue was the respray had more orange in it. They had an engineer from PPG come and help with the matching process. They nailed it the second time around. So in the end, yes, very happy with the results.
