Sorry to hear; was the lip the only thing that was damaged or was your front bumper as well?

I feel for you man...On Sunday, I was tooling around on the freeway, accelerating as I enetered and saw a friggin' F-150 in front of me...for some reason, thought this truck was trouble and wanted to get to the far left lane but there was a car there. Five seconds later, an empty can comes flying out the back of the truck, bouncing on the left side of the lane so I veer a little to the right to avoid it, and the damn thing bounced right...right into my front bumper. Very minor scrape, like any little rock/pebble, but boy did it **** me off at the time!!!

Damn... I had that happen to me with a big shredded truck tire before, except I didn't have an aftermarket lip to damage. Just huge scratches on the front bumper and more on my undercarriage out to the muffler...

You could do this? How can you prove that? I think they would know if one of their tires ripped apart on the freeway...
