So i hit a rabbit at 80mph.......
So i hit a rabbit at 80mph and completly tore my splitter in half i thought i had gotten lucky that that was it considering i used to work at the dealership so i got a new one free. but the other day i was washing my car and i noticed that my left side radiator/condenser mount seems to be broken (i can wiggle the whiole thing back and forth) i was wondering if anyone knew if that mount is actually part of the radiator i think it is but wanna be sure before i order one.

hit my second rabbit last night going about 60mph little ****** jumped right through front opening and body slammed into a/c cond/ radiator and bent it into a half moon. luckily there is no leaks. my radiator mount has been broken since the last rabbit it hit. I bent the ac condenser back to as close to straight as possible but am worried about pulling on the radiator and heat exchanger so I will prob just leave it until I decide to replace the radiator. hopefully this can wait till I go turbo after the summer.

the ac condenser doesn't matter I don't use it thankfully it took the grunt of the blow. im not too happy that the heat exchange and radiator are bent into a crest at the bottom and touching but coolant temps seem the same and no leaks.
