SON OF A...... Help needed

Im driving on the Long Island Expressway and some nasty pothole comes out of literally NOWHERE.... after i slammed into it my car starts shaking for like 30sec before i hear something come flying out the bottom and then i see it in my rearview mirror. So i pull off the next exit and see its my driver side front fender liner.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW THE PART NUMBER I NEED IT ASAP SO I CAN ORDER IT. It is the bottom L shaped piece, the one what wrap around to under the windshield washer reservoir.

ALSO, does anybody know if it would be safe to get a car wash tomorrow?, I am doing a run with Exotics Rally in the morning to Ultra Sonic Car wash(completely touch less with conveyor belt for the cars) and they are giving everybody in ER free car washes.

Please let me know ASAP guys.... i need to overnight this part in because the car will be at at outside the new york international auto show and i cant have it looking like crap lol

You're talking about #11?
I ordered this a couple months back cuz mine came loose on the freeway and it ended up getting scraped to shreds.

Part Number: 2098840322

Parts.com has it but the express shipping is 1 to 3 days. Do you have a dealer close to you ? They might have one or can get it faster..

This is why I'm always wondering about my fellow northeasterners that lower and go with 19's with our nasty roads.



Karan, I'm surprised you didn't lose your lip, crack the wheel, and/or worse! Glad you know how to drive and didn't lose your $hiz....

LOL thanks, my front lip is actually bolted in to my front bumper with 6 bolts... so if i lose the lip, i lose the whole front bumper lol...

I dont know how, but its seems like the liner got sucked under the car, i have no scratches on the paint and nothing happened to the wheel thank god

Well, you know I don't know nuttin', but I'd guess that your 20" wheel had nowhere to go but smashing into that piece. Obviously a well-built wheel for not bending or cracking (like many OEM 17s have on me!)
