My chin spoiler has a 6-8 crack underneath from hitting a big 'ol fat raccoon less than a month after getting my Z.

Poor thing?! Cleaning up the gene pool if you ask me. :shakes head:

I don't really like needlessly killing things, but I'm damn sure not going to swerve all over just to miss them. You know how insurance companies are. :shakes head:

Find another shop.

Either way OP still has to pay the deductible, what difference is it if he finds another shop or not.

This thread gives me flashbacks to when I lived about 30 miles into actual farm country... Bastards would stand up on their hind legs to attack right before I mowed em down with the bumper of my truck lol

Don't see many raccoons around here, but we get a few pesky moose now and then...

Looks like that raccoon left a black stipe on your car. No worries, it should buff out.

uhhh you should go back to the body shop. they painted the sports chin where the license plate mount goes...yellow? its supposed to be black, as well as the grill area above the fangs. you found a lazy shop.

stock chicane yellow for reference...:

The shop owner called me early yesterday asking me my opinion on it. I told em to paint it all yellow. It looks more like a Cavalier bumper now, but i think its kinda unique.

What'd ya do with the coons? They're a little tastier than possum and not near as fattening.

And thats a good thing? :rofl2:

EDIT: For the record, it doesnt look bad. Just looks like a shop half assed it. But if you like it, then thats all that matters!
