Hey Guys, Last Saturday I attended a charity event with our Houston Chapter Ferrari Club of America. When I got home this is what I found. I obviously encountered something on the Houston freeways that I traveled which caused severe expletives to be heard from my driveway!! I highly suggest that everyone cover the fixed headlights with the 3M flexible material immediately. These lights are very difficult to find. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Did you see it impact while driving, G.?? Most of our surfaces are too angled to take a hit like that..although I shatter a lot of the amber turn lenses. I'm wondering if a thug didn't 'gift' you, with one of those spring powered punch tools..
I have watched a golf ball sized rock launch over the guardrail and come down like baseball pop fly....right thru the windshield of my truck....
Really not that hard to find.... Just hard to pay for! I replaced the driver's side and I think it was just under $2,000.00
In all seriousness... you are extremely fortunate that whatever struck your car hit the light. Probably the cheepest thing to repair. Glass half full...
Alan and all. This was absolutely a rock (or something) that hit the light while I was driving home. Right before I left the Ronald McDonald House, One of the managers at the facility had her picture taken at the front of the car and I left within moments of the photo being taken. I am fairly certain this happened on 290...
I don't know if any or what insurance you have on the car but that would be a comprehensive claim (I work for an insurance company). Deductible dependent, might want to check into getting it covered through insurance.
Dam, sorry to hear I had something destroy the lower part of the wheel flare on my Countach. I heard it but never saw it and next day a piece was missing from my car
That's a black eye alright. I thought it would have been better to get the glass smashed rather than the paint. I didn't realize it would be that difficult to replace.
As a Houstonian for 20 years, I feel for you. As mentioned earlier, at least it was the light, not the hood. For you not to have seen the object, makes me believe it was a small rock or pebble which through centrifical force was expunged from a truck tire, of some Texan who recently went "mudding". I was once driving on the 610 and was passing a regular Ford truck with offroad tires. As he tried to accelerate past me (I was in my then new 550) a rock came sideways out of his tire treads and cracked my passenger side window. Hope you can find a replacement light for that awesome automobile.
with all the plastic/plexi light faces today,i wonder if some one should/would come out with a replacement?
