    So I hit a deer the other day, also wrapped my lower steering wheel trim.

    INB4PIcsOrITdiDNThaPPen!!!!

    Das damage as of so far is estimated at $2,781.69 but will go up in sure because the deer went under the car and did something to my steering. Waiting for the adjuster to call now.





    and the trim . I wrapped my A and C pillars and decided to do the trim piece also. Its Micro suede.






    That's the 411 so far.

    Sorry to hear that. I bet the car must have done a little jump when Rudolph was goin under cause reindeers are big. Hope everything works out ok and you can get your e46 back to proper shape.

    Micro suede looks very very nice!

    You're lucky, could have been a lot worse.









    This is the result of another vehicle not paying any attention hitting a deer at 70mph, the deer ricocheted off the other vehicle and slammed into me.

    Ahaha! I just got her back last Tuesday. Incident was on a late chilly May 2nd night. Got a new bumper out of it and no more rock chips!

    Sorry WhiteXi, didn't mean to thread jack you.

    NY is riddled with dumb deer with deathwishes. Every other time I go up there, I just miss hitting a deer
    Sorry to hear about the car, glad you're alright. Also, that steering trim looks schmexy
    Now they dropping and yelling, it's a tad too late, Nate K and Rayzah Blade had to regulate.

    Been busy lately but didn't forget about the thread

    Yea thats a ruff hit lol, no worries on the thread jack either

    As for the car I got an appraisal from my bank. They use NADA and since they check its worth before I can buy it I figured if the insurance was gonna believe anyone's price it would be better to give them one from my bank. They priced the car at clean retail at 9k which is much higher than KBB.

    Also thanks for the positive comments on the trim piece. I like it much better than the regular stock look
