On my way home from my parents house tonight, somewhere in Maryland (and 200 miles from home) I found that someone had set up a "deer slalom" in the middle of the interstate. I made it through, but I wound up +1 for my efforts. I almost missed it, I'm pretty sure it stayed in the box......

Kevin,
Glad you are OK ... in Texas, we have deer as well. But the armadillos can do some strange things to a front fascia as well. Difference is, we don't layer the roadway with dust to "enhance" traction and we can run 315 Rs year round! You probably already know this ... The front nose and font fender "sandwich" together along with a "Z" shaped bracket that attaches to the frame rail. I imagine that bracket is bent, but like said above, it can easily be straightened with a little trial and error. The rear of the fender has an "L" shaped bracket accessible with the door open. Again, it's probably just bent a tad. Maybe even in the proper form, just the fender is tab is snapped off. You can probably loosen the 6 or so bolts uder the hood and pull the fender off the door. Take the inner fender liner out and about 10 13mm bolts top, bottom and sides and the fender should pop right off. You can hunt for used, but there is great aftermarket support for late model F-Car body panels. Locally, there is a place called Crash-mart. They are a chain, I believe. New non-OEM fenders (lighter than OEM (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) can be had for $75 picked up. |
