...and the bottom of my front fascia is split. At least, I think it was rebar. I was passing by some construction on the shoulder of H-1 just before the "ARIZONA-Stadium" exit leading down to the Kamehameha Hwy. Heard a ripping sound from the front end and the car jerked slightly. Speed was about 65-70.
I've already checked under the front end and rest of underside...NFD as far as I can see. I was afraid I'd lost either the oil pan or the lower radiator hose, but there's no fluid on the ground after 1 1/2 hours parked at the office, and no other dents or tears. But the bottom surface of the fascia, slightly to the DS from center, is torn completely through for a length of about 3-4".
It really pisses me off, but the hard fact is that other than cosmetic damage, the car's fine, nothing else is really broken, and the Hulk will live to fight another day. My big question now is: How do I keep the tear from getting longer? Can this be stop-drilled, or should I get some kind of industrial epoxy and try to mend the edges together?
