Small highway incident

So I believe I hit a rock or something on the highway while going 80+ with my rear wheel. The plastic part that surrounds my left exhaust tip has been knocked off because of this.

It looks like I can just pop a new one in place (there are slots for it to attach in).

Would anyone know where to get this part?


If you need a picture to understand what I mean I can take one later just let me know. I'm hoping this is a cheap fix because it ruins the look of the car in the back.

...or you could check your local junk yard for cheaper price or probably at the for sale/wanted section of this site in your area. Good luck.

Talking Glad to Hear I'm Not the Only One

Same thing happened to me a few days after I bought the car.

Was driving on the highway, then the next morning found this as I was getting ready to go to work

I also thought something happened on the highway, and that the piece just flew away. (Since I had literally gotten the car from the dealer, it was very upsetting to say the least.)

Or maybe the previous owner did something to the bumper and failed to properly secure the part.

Or somebody simply stole the part

Anyway, bought the part and it arrived three days later:

Very easy to install.

Five minutes later:
