A picture is worth a thousand 4 letter words.

I haven't even driven it in a week or so. I have no idea how this happened.

looks like a tiny shoe print. You just have hit a midgit. Sure am glad I put the mesh in there. Darn midgits.
Holy shit Batman! How the hell did that happen??? Looks like a freakin baseball hit it. No leaks or anything? Might need to look into a new.... what is that in front? The AC exchanger, or is that the radiator?
I don't even have 3000 miles on it yet.
that does not look good :(
Maybe you hit a bird, its happened to me before.
That's a good point doc!
There's a good reason to put a mesh grill in :eek:
Did you pull any feathers or bady parts out of that? Ouch. I am going and getting mesh right now. Thanks.
I don't even know what part of the damn car I need to replace. I pulled no feathers out of it and never noticed anything hit me when driving. It might have been some stupid little brat who can't catch a baseball seeing as how i live in an aprtment complex. I'm moving to a condo with an attached garage in like 2 weeks too. Funny thing is, I have samples from customcargrills sitting right next to me and I couldn't decide which one to get. I was going to wait till I moved and had a good place to install stuff.
I guess it doesn't matter now.
Thats the A/C condensor radiator.

Sweet. I never use the A/C anyway. I'll just bend the splines back with a plug gapper to try and keep as much air flowing as possible.
Yea, not sure how expensive that is to replace, and I guess you can't claim a manufacturers defect... well, other than saying that it should be carbon fiber...

lol, Glad that gave you a sigh of relief. I live in TX, I'd be almost as disappointed if that was a radiator. So you have no idea what that could've been that you hit? If that's the case I don't want to even consider looking at my radiator, no telling what condition mine is like :confused: Have you found any leaks? Good Luck
Would there be anyone that you know that would just come up and kick it? I mean, that's a huge dent to get without noticing it.

Due to the nature of my profession, I make a lot of enemies. It could have been some punk kid that wanted to be a jackass. Now I'm getting mad.

No leaks.
I am ordering a grill from custom car grills and will be painting it black.
I think it will be ok. Just tell any one who asks, you hit a bird while racing someone. It sounds way tougher than the retarded kid not being able to catch a ball, well at least i think so.

lmfao, I agree. I bet I just sold a lot of grills today for someone.
