Sorry KByers12, the deer encounters seem like unpredictable nightmares come to life. Hope your mix of insurance/damage recovery/good luck results in a satisfactory outcome, and your collision pix will end up in a favorable before-and-after comparison.

Thanks. Yeah, the prospect of it coming through the windshield is terrifying especially since my wife was in the passenger seat. It was pretty small (as they usually are around here) so I think it probably would have spidered the glass and bounced off... but yeah. We were going 70, and I had 3 choices: A Rav 4, A Deer, or a bunch of trees....

Pretty easy choice...

I might have to take a screen shot of the facebook thread...the comments are fantastic... but yeah it was only fun until I realized what was happening, haha. I have a very large appreciation for nature, and love seeing deer and other animal, and I wish you were here so I could physcially illustrate my thought process, because it's pretty hilarious...

There was a Rav 4 (or something like it) driving up next to me (FASTER) and I saw it coming in from the other side of the highway and thought "Oh look a dee....whhhyyy is it running into the road!? AH GAHD... *smash*.... mannn...."

thing had to slide 25 feet after I stopped.... and it was small enough that it was like hitting a speed bump at high speeds.

Those rigid collars look intriging, did you notice much difference after installing them?

I'm more curious about the install process. Did you do it yourself? Seems like no fun without a lift.

You are right, install by workshop is recommended. Lift required

I don't know what model year those are for but they could be nice if they were subtle and quality looking. Might match some matte bronze wheels real nice

I believe it said GE6? I was just wondering if the GE6 badges maybe had the same measurement of the GK
That's all

I ordered a VSA button and converted it into a garage door opener so I could tuck my garage door opener up under the dash and take advantage of the blanks next to my real VSA button. Link below
