Wife get's her first Deer

Bought our 2011 F150 EcoBoost in Aug. Purchased a Billet Bumper Grill from Carid.com. Item#241327 on Sept09. Wife hit a deer on the way home from work today, I am very happy that I decided to buy the guard for the intercooler cause the deer hit right in the middle of the bumper, bending the grill guard inward like a "V" intercooler is fine. Wife is ok but truck needs a new grill and bumper, I already ordered another guard from Carid. Truck has 2463 miles on it.
Like I said, I'm sure glad I bought the guard and will gladly endorse the Aluminun Billet Bumper Grill by APG. Can't post pictures (don't know how).

Guard was 44.47 with free shipping

Skilled drivers can do the job with little or no damage. Mine just cracked the plastic grill .Meat can be saved ,it's delicious.

This one? http://www.carid.com/2011-ford-f-150...le-241328.html

I'd like to see a picture of it installed on the truck. The space in front of the intercooler just doesn't look right completely open.

Its hard to say if that aluminum grille did much of anything to protect the truck. Pretty sure the bumper took the brunt. I would however like to see a picture if it on the truck.

When I get the truck back, I'll post a pic in my album. My wife is a very good driver, it was dark 2lane country rd deer came out of trees, AJ would have hit it. Wise #@#@ replies is exactly why I only have a couple of posts here. I do not work for mfg. Some guys would like real thoughts about a product from someone who has it. If you don't know who AJ is, you're not a Ford guy.
