DEER!!!!!!!!!!
Man I hate Deer, they have got to be the most small brained retared azz animal known to man. Well the Deer jumped out infront of a truck, the truck hit it and I caught the deer in the road. It was only a two lane road so i did not have anywhere to go. It went under the car and came out in shreds. So I stopped and was just expecting to see a hole in the oil pan and my oil cooler in pieces, But to the grace of god it wasn't. After that I take an overall look at the car and my heart sank my poor stock ass intercooler looks like the civc from a few posts up. Ill post some pics as soon as I can. My main question is when i turn this in to the insurance will they let me pay a little extra and get the agp intercooler ? its only like 200 bucksmore than the stock or will they make me go back all factory. The only thing that worries me about that is that my bumper support will have to be removed in order to install the new intercooler if I do decide to do so. I am afraid with the bumper support gone the insurance will not do it. Here is the AGP intercooler

Re: DEER!!!!!!!!!!
To get the intercooler mod done you need to search for a repair shop that the insurance company will approve to do the work and see if you can get them to do it under the radar and maybe spot them a few extra bucks for it.
My insurance company(State Farm) never get into detail in accessing the damage and leave it up to the repair shop. The most my agent has done is make written documentation of my statement about the accident and take a few photographs of the exterior damage.
Good Luck

Re: DEER!!!!!!!!!!
haha is it insurance fraud when you ask the lady that owns the body shop (and u use to date her daughter) to take as long as she can so u can keep the rental as long as you can, so you'll have time to get the timing belt parts in to fix the car lol

Re: DEER!!!!!!!!!!
Just so you know, the stock one might be on national backorder, or at least that has been the case in the past... In addition you should think real hard and long about removing the support beam... It's not for everyone. You are taking a serious risk in doing it. I myself am willing to take that risk, but I know full well the risk I take. If you’re in a frontal crash the insurance company can give you hell for removing it...

Re: DEER!!!!!!!!!!
Well, many insurance companies are more than willing to just send you a check in the amount of the claim. If that is so, get them to do that, then take it somewhere that will do the work (I recommend Joey...) and put in whatever parts you like.
