Sorry about your accident.

Thank you everyone. I looked around the neighborhoods nearby early this morning and found a dog that seemed to be the one I hit, I took him to a nearby animal center and he's gonna b fine. I had no intention of hitting this animal, like i said we have no street lights in this cities' neighborhoods and I didn't see him till it was too late, i reacted the best I could and that was y I only caught him with the side of the bumper and not dead on. This bumper is extremely flimsy and not very durable to any impact. Any ideas on what bumper I should go with, since I'm going to have to replace it anyways. Will there be any fitment issues since my car is a 13' model? All your responses are appreciated in advanced.

I was referring to the worst night of my life pertaining to my car and the fact the I injured an innocent animal. Owners should be more protective of their animals, it's in no way the dog's fault. But it was a bad night, don't think anyone on here would've liked this happening to their Z.

factory bumper + matched paint = can't tell difference from new car.

I ewas thinking I might as well go with an aftermarket bumper since I'm already replacing it, but worse comes to worse, that's what I'll do

your insurance should be able to give you the amount up to wat it would cost to replace and paint your stock bumper. from there, you pay the difference out of pocket. yah, might be a good opportunity.

Like I said before, I was talking in respects to my car and the fact I injured an innocent dog. It wasn't literally the worst thing I've ever been thru.

Just so you know. I apologize to God every time I hit an animal. Except for raccoons. I hate raccoons.
Accidents happen.

The only fact I know is someone posted that he hit a dog and his only concern was his car. Now I see he does have remorse and thats a good thing as none of us know the circumstances revolving around the dog. Why anyone can say the owner is a bad dog owner when they don't have a clue is besides me.

Oh please. I'd feel bad if I hit a dog, but my biggest concern would be my safety and my car. Now if it was a person, different story. I wouldn't come on a car enthusiast forum crying about a dog I hit. I would do the same thing as OP did, ask about issues with my car.

I seriously can't believe the amount of people here that chastised OP for hitting a dog that ran out in front of him at night...Go over to the PETA forums instead. OP it's only a dog. I'm glad you're okay and I'm sorry about your car. You're a good guy for taking the dog to the hospital.

I care about my car more than any animals ( without owner ) which run across the street that I hit.

Accident happens, and this is not a PETA forum.
