Default i killed ranger rick!...but my bumper:( (pix)

ok its about 2am so im think'n its a good time for a drive. im going down some old country raods. then out of no were this huge. i me huge coon pops out on to the road. then it runs back for safty, gets to the endge of the road so stoped braking then it runs back out. cruchathump. i hit that like babe ruth. i think it then deflected all the way across the road becuase when i whent back to see how many peaices it was in it was not there. and i know that there is no way in hell it lived that hit. "for the record i was going 55mph." but my bumper f-u-c-k-e-d. and my laser jammer took a hit too. so it looks like time for a new bumper.

WTF?! What's up with all these animals wrecking bumpers tonight ??? Cloudy had a similer accident like you but he had a whole entire piece of his bumper come off & instead of a coon, it was a coyote.

Sorry to here that bro. As you pointed out, at least this give you an excuse to upgrade your bumper now.

Then Intense motorsports, iam gonna go with Intense, since they are my sponsors and who i would order the bumper from haha... well the bill comes out to about $3371 to fix everything. I think iam gonna go with a Do-Luck front bumper this time...

Oh dont even start your furry pos. You caused the accident! I saw it myself... you were in the middle, ran to the side... then waited till he got closer and "faked" the accident! Iam willing to testify in court.

Why would u want it CF then if ur just gonna paint it? And if you really want it painted. Order from www. IntensePower.com and tell them to have it painted for you. Their painter is kinda slow (like 1week delay or so) but he does great work and matches it very close if not perfect. Hard to match without the car, but does such a good job cant tell.

if i get the cf i wont paint it... but i only would get the cf if the actual color of the carbon fiber is close to that of my z. also those little air rams are there plugs for those when it rains?

edit: if i painted it i would have them do a paint fade from the car to the bumper for a perfict undetectable match.
