    Does anyone know where I can purchase the plastic piece that covers our fog lights and the bracket that holds it... please let me know with some feedback. I was driving on the freeway last week and a huge piece of tire tread was kicked up cracked my left fog light house and bracket, and did some damage with scratches and a dent on my drivers side door after it wrapped around and slid down the side of my car (cost $700 to fix the dent and the scratches plus an old rim ding haha) but the light still works and everything is still in place but not secured. Mitsubishi has the covering for the fog light but they don't sell the bracket seperately, only with the fog light for $271 but I only need the bracket and cover! Thanks!

    It actually happened to me twice, the other time I was driving one my grandpa's cars on the same freeway and a rock hit the left front head light and it cost $3,000 to fix! Luckily, we know the guy at the dealership so we had it fixed "under warranty" haha.

    maybe calling the city might have help? idk just a suggestion... i know someone who got their car damaged by a pothole... he called the city, unfotunately they told him the city is only responsible if the pothole had been previously reported so he's shit outa luck, but the next person who gets their car damaged by it can get it fixed by the city XD lol... but ne way, worth a shot?

    It's going to cost me $700 for the dent and scratches plus my rim which had a small ding on it. The parts will probably cost a few 100.
