Camaro vs Opossum - both lose - night video
So, I was driving home late on Mon night and was unlucky enough to hit a opossum at 78 mph
 . It ripped the front splitter off the car and bashed in the grill some. No major damage and not really worried about it except for two things - those two things are the mounting bolts on each side of the car in the fender well where the back of the splitter is mounted by a single bolt - it was ripped clean off each side! It was a slp styled splitter. I guess I am looking for advice on mounting options for a new one. Do I need to consider a different style (I like ths one), or you think there is a creative way to mount the exact same one as a replacement? Thanks.

That was not an Opossum, that was an Armadillo. Armored little sh!ts that they are.

little guy made it across one side of traffic! See, if you weren't speeding it would have been a different story.
Speed kills!  Good luck with the repairs!

LOL, for those that follow NASCAR. |

Q: Why did the Armadillo cross the road?
A: To prove to the Opossum it could be done.
