You need to install a sloped nosepiece like I have on the aerocivic. Since installing it, I've hit 2 deer at 45mph and the only damage was a dent on the hood and a cracked headlight on one of the collisions. That low nosepiece make the front of the car act like a wedge, flipping the deer up and over the top of the car. Before I aeromodded my civic, I had an identical collision with a deer (45mph with front impact) and I had to replace the headlight, hood, and front quarter panel. The flat front of the typical car absorbs the collision energies, resulting in great damage to the car. In the aerocivic, the collision energies are redirected upwards, resulting in minimal damage.
