Seeing as it was a nice warm night, I decided to go down Studley Park Drive for a bit of a fang. All was going well until my right front wheel hit what I think was little pothole or ditch in the road and BANG! After inspecting the car my right front flap in front of the wheel is gone. Does anyone know where i can get a cheap replacement or if someone took theirs off and willing to offload theirs for beer or $?

u sure ur rim is still round??

The rim shouldn't be damaged as I don't feel any vibrations, humming or tugging at the wheel. Well I certainly hope it isn't damaged. Is there something else I should be looking for?

It didn't feel like a big impact on the wheel as the pothole felt more like a smooth ditch with a gradual slope rather than the usual cliffedged pothole where your wheel would literally fall off the edge and made a bang as if the weight of the car fell on the suspension. This incident felt similar to if you were travelling fairly quickly and encountered a sudden sharp hill. My instinct was to check the underside of the sills and front bumper rather than the rims when I heard the bang, as that was where I thought the damage was.

If you run a front lip do you have to take those 'still air deflectors' off? If so you can have mine when i put my lip on...

I dont think they do very much except scrape..

Nope, they stay on with the OEM and Amuse lip at least,

What are they meant to do????????

Divert air from the wheel well.

you could probably try and find the same thickness/style plastic that the front flaps are made of and cut up some more for like a few bucks........

i wonder how much honda wants for a new front flap thing......probably your left nut!
