    Deer Encounter Repair

    Hi all. Hit a deer last month. With the Beast. On the way to deer camp. And, no did not collect the one I hit - small doe and just nicked the hind quarter, and unfortunately did not exact revenge either. For two days sat in a tree in 10 degree weather with a howling wind for nothing. But, $7000 later, Beast has a new front bumper, driver's front fender, driver's headlamp and radiator support.

    When I brought the car home and went to fill up the window washer fluid reservoir, I noticed that I can see frame and honeycomb of the inside of the bumper when looking straight down. I just don't recall seeing that before. That whole area now looks kinda naked. I took a picture, it is attached. Can anyone please check if this is supposed to be like this, or am I missing trim pieces. Also, any idea how to revitalize headlamp glass? I still have the old headlamp on the passenger side and difference between it and the new one on driver's side is staggering.

    I'll be definitely going back to the shop, a harness bracket is on back-order and they will have to clean up engine compartment because they sprayed something oily all over the carbon fiber, I guess when they were recharging the A/C.
