I don't know what it is with my Celicas attracting the hugest raccoons in the county, but I've successfully told 2 of them why they shouldn't cross the interstate. First was my blue one a few years ago, creamed a big one doing about 80, messed up my bumper and fender and tore up my CAI. Second one was the other day, hit a GIANT one on the interstate, didn't even see him until it was right there.

I assessed the damage later, split the bottom part of the bumper in half, all the posts in the grill are ripped off, few cracks around the edges of the bottom, paint coming off, and the engine shields are messed up. Oil pan and radiator seem fine, there's a new huge dent in my radiator but it doesn't look like the raccoon did that. Here's a pic(and sorry for the crappy phone pic) and no the oil stain isn't from my car, I was in a parking garage:


At first I thought I could just fiberglass it up but idk, the damage on the bottom side is pretty bad so I'll probably just keep my eyes open for a junk yard bumper or a cheap deal on here. I don't know how I feel about many of the aftermarket ones, the C-One is the best looking that I know of other than the GT-4 conversion.
