Damage Done on the way home.....
A very large piece of tire was thrown at my car on the way home. My car was not paying attention and got a black eye and a large dent on the fender

Damn, sorry to hear about your incident. I hit a retread on the way to Fest, but it just popped out my lower grille, I was able to snap it back in to place. Those retreads are dangerous.

Might be able to paintless dent remove that fender dent and buff out a lot of the scuffing. I've seen the paintless guys take out some big dents.

Wow, that must have been a scary moment! Glad y'all are ok... Keep in mind the car can be fixed.
I got lucky once or twice during our convoy (thanks to our radios) |

I didn't sign up for autox at the fest because I knew I would get plenty of it on the way there and back due to tires in the road lol

Sorry to hear about this! I hate treads on the highway. They have caused some major damage to one of my previous cars. Hopefully you'll be able to get it fixed quickly and easily!

I lost a passenger DRL due to tires on the way home. First I thought it was just a bulb out but on closer inspection the lens and bulb are gone. My DRL halo was hanging loose.
I hope you get that dent fixed up. You have a nice looking car. I still want to know who smoothed out your DRL bezels. Can't find that anywhere. |
