What I Do??

I was gettin on the highway goin like 65 and a few seconds later i hear this loud noise and the driver next to me points at my wheel. so i pull over take a look. and the wheel well and the lil plastic cover under the engine was draggin on the floor i took it out and put it in my trunk.

THEN a few minutes later i was goin like 80mph and BAMMM the passenger side wheel well plastic just flys the FUCK off, disconnectin my front signal. i was like SHITTTTTTTTTT luckily no cars behind me.

So now i gotta order a new plastic thing like that. Where can i get that and how much?

Also now my intake iz exposed, how dangerous is it to drive?

Yea the splash guards on the 2nd gen TL suck ASS. I'm on my 3rd set of splash guards. Most likely, they were loose and your wheels grabbed it and ripped it off completely. When it happened to me a couple months ago the wheels caught it and it ripped it off, but rotated it into the fender causing it to dent it from the inside-out chipping the hell out of the paint.
Don't drive in the rain if the CAI is exposed if you go into a puddle which submerges it your engines done.
