I Hit a f'in 'dillo... how much is the fugger gonna cost me?
When driving in Florida, one must be aware of "Natures Bowling Ball with legs"... our friend the armidillo.
I sent one to his maker tonight, and he returned the favor by knocking hell out of my nose. It was dented (which i pushed out) and the paint is Fuxz0red, and behind it, there was smashed plastic parts everywhere.
Question is, if i get my insurance guy on the phone, and get an estimate from a body shop... how far off is that estimate going to be if I tell the guy to F the OEM fascia, and use the money towards a Stillen Type 2 fascia?
Cheapest I found the stillen type 2 was for 574 at everything350... For the life of me though, i couldnt find the OEM front price.
Anyone have the low down?

Doesn't sound like it's repaintable considering the internal support has been damaged. The price is very close to a stock one that's why you hear stories of people rejoincing when they get into minor bumper accidents.

Yup. Better watch out or those little ****ers. Keep in mind if you're in the Florida suburbs you might also want to watch out for gators, racoons, deers, pigs, owls, squirels, oversized rat looking things, turtles, an vultures.
Snakes don't count as i would run over them anytime. Even with my Z.
