This is why I bought my 2.4 lower grill, or I guess I should say, that's why I bought 3 of them. I've had 2 knocked out and lost on the highway (had a semi in front of me blow a tire and launch it's tread my way, and hit a blue heron, only slightly smaller than a goose). Certainly worth the money since all I have is a small dent on the bottom of the condensor, way cheaper to replace the grill.
|
Mmm... no lower grille I take it?
Though it didn't really help Red out much... I think it's worth having in... esp. for the price. |
Damn thats unbelievable... hope it didnt cause too much damage.
|
damn that sux. sry bout the luck fellas. fucking animals. hunting anyone? :guns: lol
|
from the looks of it... probably a grand or so...
Honestly if it happened to me and I didn't have the lower grille in I would be bitching to my dealer asking them why Chevy made a car with a huge ass opening in the front bumper that exposes the radiator/intercooler... it's just asking for trouble. |
This is also why I bought Mine when I 1st got my car, Hope it didn't hurt to much on your car!
|
I had a bird go into my front bumper a while ago lol.
These animals are wild, the goose prob. wanted to get a better look at the balt :lol: |

im hoping insurance will cover it but the dude at the dealer doesnt think so
|
insurance should cover it... talk to your agent... but it will make your premiums go up.

Your folks probably didn't say anything... or it isn't time to renew yet. But you can believe that any time you file something on your insurance... your premiums are going to go up. It's always better to pay out of pocket... just take the hit and move on. You'll end up paying more in increased premiums over time than you would to just get it fixed up front.
|
I know we've renewed because I just got the new insurance card... Pretty sure we have the best insurance ever. hehe
|
but i dont have 2000 dollers to throw around
or however much it will cost |

I hit a buzzard a few months back & it shattered my windshield, I thought that was alot of damage to be done by a bird, but I guess I should be happy it was just my windshield. I hope you get your insurance to pay!

It depends on your insurance and status. My friend's wife backed into my ss/sc 2 months after I bought it, and even though this was her 3rd at fault accident, my friend said her premium with State Farm still has not changed since before the first. I find it really frustrating that even though I have no accidents, it only took one ticket (69 in a 55) to raise my insurance $40 a month. Kinda sucks that they'll go easier on her since she's a married female with 2 kids while I'm a single guy with none (but much more careful as you can easily tell by comparing our driving records).

my radiator protection is my Cobra HE lol
|
my damages to fix were like $1,900. insurance covered it all.
oh, i had the lower grill in, guess its stuck in the damn groundhog's head now.. |
