Damn sorry to see that, but it doesn't look all that bad. New lip and the bumper doesn't look bad maybe some very minor scuffs. I've had many near misses on tires and other debris on the highway. Sometimes stuff like this is unavoidable. Good luck on the fix!

Oh man that sucks... Probably cheaper to fix than you're deductable too. Might wanna look into it though, It should fall under comprehensive since it was a tire and nobodys property.

same EXACT thing happened to me... somewhat...

was going around 65-70 and a truck cut me off, I wasn't in no rush or anything and just stayed behind him. Out of no where, I see him swerve to the left side of the lane *this was at like 2am in the morning* and I paid attention to his swerve rather than having a quick thinking of why he swerved...

However, There was no major paint damage at all... I thought I had to repaint my whole lip, but luckily, I used GOOGone and all the marks got rubbed off! There wasn't any scratches on dents! Lol

Sucks that it happen, but looks like an easy fix. Reattach the bumper, and buff the paint clean. Some touchup paint should make the chipping look pretty decent again.

Thankfully it was just the lip...could have been worse. The rest might buff out, but cant be sure from the pic

could have been a lot worse, the last piece of road debris i almost hit was a refrigerator in the middle of i-35.
