Looks like I lucked out.
No paint damage, but the right side of the bumper is not connected. Also looks like the entire right fog light assembly is gone.

Probly gonna fix it myself cause of the 1g deductible. grrr

Imma see if can figure out how to take the bumper off for a better look


@#$% Dogs! lol

If the fog light is gone I am sure it wasn't great for the dog.

Couldn't find the dog but it was night. Maybe it ran off or was vaporized
I dunno

My wife hit one on Friday night as well. Same exact damage as you have, but it broke the headlight housing tabs that the clips slide behind, the deal that the top of the bumper holds onto and the running horse is missing. My dad saw the dog dead the next day on the side of the highway. She hit it going about 80.

Luckily I have another bumper I can put on and headlight, but it might be a month or two before I get it painted and put on. Best of luck getting yours fixed.

You'll need a new bumper cover. I just bought one here from ebay for the Cobra ready to install ----> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380062810656&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&viewitem=

All you need is a rivet gun to put the side clips on.

I hit a german shepard in my 94 GT at 70 mph, and it exploded. I had endtrails on the windshield. Smelled like burnt dog for months. Chunks of fur was was cooked on the engine and exaust. I sold it a year later and it still smelled of dog.

I almost mowed down a large poodle Friday night after work... Thank God my brakes work. I thought I hit it for sure but I saw the little prick run off into the night after I nearly got rear ended by a rather massive truck behind me.
