stupid deer!!!!

ok, just put plate and insur. on the maro yesterday and of couse what happened...i smoked a deer. my buddy has a hood, and a fender(off a 91). other then part number what is the difference between the fender on my 88 and that 91 fender. is it the mounting because the ground effects are slightly different or is there really no difference. I need to get her back to running. its not that bad, could have been alot worse. just enough to really PI$$ me off

Re: stupid deer!!!!

from what I've heard, the ground effects holes is the only difference. However, I don't have first-hand experience to back that up. 3rd gens and deer probably don't mix well. Taking a large, somewhat top-heavy animal and cutting its legs out from under it with a flying wedge is a recipe for disaster.

Re: stupid deer!!!!

91/92 uses slots in the front fender to attach the chin spoiler to the fender, where as pre 91 uses holes with 3 studs sticking through the backside of the fender
