Default Just lost a wheel well cover...

Is that bad? haha.

I lost it while pulling out of a parking lot and I did not think it was mine. All I heard was a loud CRASH and thought I just ran one over. When I got home I saw that my passenger side wheel well was missing...

Is this a bad thing?

Am I the only one who turns around when I run something over? If you hear a "CRASH", you should probably stop and get out, or pull a u-turn and go back to see wtf just happened.

I did stop since I was in a parking lot. I picked it up and didn't think it could have been mine. I remember fastening the wheel well earlier that week but I guess I did not tighten it down enough. It was about 10:30PM and it was dark so I could not tell just by looking at it =/

The thing was mangled and did not look anything like what I thought it would look like...

Either way, I might have to go to a junk yard and get it replaced or something...I saw that my wiper fluid tank (I think) was exposed...

isnt it held on by clips or did you modify it for your turbo setup ! anyway i would have stopped what if you lost a oilpan or something crazy and you kept driving could have ended up costing you lots of money next time get out and do a quick inspection doesnt hurt to look it over and makesure things are not hanging !
