Here's some photos.
I *might* be able to save the valance. Not entirely sure. The valance itself around the fog light area is okay besides being pushed in. When the impact occurred, the fog light itself shattered, half of it staying mounted, the other half bouncing down the street (which I did pick up). If you can see through the gap, it's easy to see that the header panel at that corner is gone, and if I'm honest it was in rough shape when I got it.
Someone played with it before me, evidently. I'm hoping I can save the turn signal housing. It *looks* like it got bent downward and the header panel is what broke. That's my hope, anyway. The more I can save the better off I am. All the bulbs (except one fog light bulb) still works fine, so I'm not out anything there.
I'll post up any new information (if I find any) when I take it all apart and see what I actually have. I think we can reasonably say though that there's no frame damage. The deer I hit was actually a young doe, so less body mass and no antlers to deal with, so I got lucky in that respect.
Thanks all for the support.
I've seen worse shopping wind assisted cart damage in a Walmart parking lot.. lol The bad part is the cost of replacing what was completely good parts. Sorry to hear
