Angry Beginning to really hate deer

I bought my truck back in march, 2000 GMC 1500 extended cab short bed z71 package. Loaded with just about everything except for heated leather seats which i dont want anyways. Well this evening I hit a deer. The only reason i bough the truck was because I hit a deer with my dually a year and a half ago and havnt gotten it compleatly redone yet like i want to and needed a truck. Took out the grille, left headlight, left fender, and left front door. Being the idiot that I am I never got the insurance switched over from liabilty to full so this bill is compleatly under me. Now I've got some questions on the grille and headlights. I figured If I had to buy them I might as well upgrade. So my question is what fits? I kinda like the denali front ends but didnt know what all was different. I know I have to change the headlight mount so if I have to buy the other side I will. Any other ideas on grills for looks??? but also most importantly headlights for both functionality and looks??? i'm up for any ideas guy so please help me decide and quick, I gotta get this back on the road so I dont have to drive my old rust bucket pos 89 olds

Re: Beginning to really hate deer

Thats the worst thing of it, the deer took off running, dont know how far it ran though... I do think I answered my question on the denali stuff. The bottom of the grille is a different shape so to use the denali grille you have to use the denali bumper. I think I got some ordered after talking to a buddy on his ideas though
