Hello from Iowa... well im new here duh right...
I own a 1999 Alero GLS Love the car but i let the old lady drive it 2 weeks after i bought it and she hit 2 deer in the same night... neither deer did alot of damage but it's taken me awhile to get it fixed up but still have somethings to replace but for the most part its about done... just need to replace both fenders i knocked them out but still look like shit. also need to replace all the plastics under the front bumper and both inner fender wells... i was hoping to get it fixed completely before i had to start driving it but no such luck my blazer i was driving motor locked up and it being a major pain the the ass to replace the 4.3 vortec motor i elected to just part the truck out...
well theres my life story lol :coolio:

I do know of a bunch of salvage yards up here have alot of alero parts... the one closest to me buys them off auction and fixes them for sale cause they are cheap and easy to fix and they are a dime a dozen up here... just like i sad damn deer im going to add you to a my friends list if you need parts you can't find message me ill make a few calls and see what i can come up with... that goes for everyone on this site... :)

welcome...I have been lucky to not hit a deer with my alero...the sob's rarely run out in front of it but when they do I am usually on gravel and they travel in pairs

yeah i wish i had taken some pictures the damage wasn't really that bad... first deer pushed in the passenger fender pretty good but i pulled that out, broke the headlight which i package taped together to get it around, broke the header and mangled the inner fender and under plastics pretty good so i removed them; the second deer basicly did the same thing just on the drivers side... then she claims she hit a dog but i pretty sure it was a pig and that took out the bumper cover and driver fog light... but it's fixed and shes not allowed to drive it anymore :) cars got 212000 miles on it and i don't have a single light on the dash and it runs like a top... of course ive done alot of work on it but thats besides the point...

Welcome to the site.

My ex wife could never understand why I didn't want her driving my car. I guess I was selfish and crazy since I like to stop at red lights BEFORE hitting the cars in front of me. Oh yeah I forgot to mention, she was going 50 in a 25
