But upon closer inspection while washing it today I noticed it did do some damage. The lower grill is seperated from the bumper on the passenger side. I just got home and as soon as I get some energy I'm going to go out there and see if it will snap back together. I haven't looked really closely but at a glance you can see the clips on the grill and I'm hoping that it just snaps back in. So the good news is there doesn't appear to be any paint damage. The possible bad news is I don't know if any plastic is broken. I suppose the silver lining is if it is broken I now have a reason to buy a different grill.
That totally stinks. Nothing ticks me off more than crap left in the road or on the side of the road. I have seen video's of this before and have re taught myself to stay far away from the person in front of me. Also it helps keep the rock and paint chips to a minimum. I think about this everytime i'm behind someone. Thats why I bought an SS to keep in FRONT of everyone!
