    Hello I just crashed my car and busted my passenger-side fender. This piece of plastic came off. What is it? Can the car run without it?

    Thank you.

    That's the air intake Helmholtz resonator. The car can run almost as well without it.

    Is the energy absorbing styrofoam pad present on that bumper? Not sure if it should be visible at that angle or not, but I don't see one.

    Is that headlight OK? The lower part looks funky but it could just be snow or a reflection.
