In low cars, a deer impact can be lethal- so I guess I'm lucky there. If I had not swerved it would have been frontal...

Damage-wise it is minor. $3k. (Hey, here's a fun fact: the intercooler intake trim is just a tad under $500! )

Back to my original query:
They are going to color blend the quarter and the door, clear the quarter and door. The quarter includes the strip up to the roof and down the Apillar. They will "rope" the rubber for the rear window and the windshield (this is just cinching it up to pull it out of the way so it can be clearcoated all the way. IS THIS BETTER than removing the windows entirely? I suppose a trade off...thoughts?

What is the factory (OE) paint mfg? Worth spec'ing this?

Anything else I can spec or ask about to get a better job?

Finally, maybe I should buy that TA front and have them shoot it while they have the paint in the gun....hmmmm...

Thx

A

PS Deer are so bad here that my wife hit one in the MDX (and as Speed mentioned, it spun along the side, taking out 3 panels!)...then, a week later before I could get the damn car into the shop, another deer hit the opposite side in the rear door! It felt like a deer magnet.

It sucks this happened, but look at it as an opportunity to mod the car...with a TA front bumper and rear spoiler!! You might as well while they are doing paint work...

Yeah, I figured that out when I saw there is no Boxster on your Sig. and the plate wasn't U.S.
