    Hit a blown tread from a truck tire at 60 mph ... was in heavy traffic and could not avoid it. Busted up the lower front body piece ... it's plastic. Taking it to a Toyota body shop tomorrow for an estimate, may shop around for independent body shops as well. Has anybody else had to replace this part? Curious how many millions of bucks it's likely to cost me. Thanks.
