    Grill guard? What's a grill guard going to do against that? No, a steel plate bumper would be the better choice.

    none except for crappy hub caps and floor mats.
    That seems like a miracle. How did that deer manage to get squashed through one side of the grill?

    Anyway, hell of a mess to clean up.

    It's because of all the suction from the cold air intake.

    Yea that's what I thought too. It was pretty ridiculous that it can go through one side of the grill like that and get up under the motor cover. But, either way it looks cool. And pretty sucky to get out.
