Default Incident while driving on the highway

So yesterday morning (Monday), I was on my way to go to my Lexus dealership to have my navigation system updated because of the issue with it freezing and restarting. While I was driving on the highway, I hear a loud noise that sounded like a rock came flying at me and must have gone under my car. I didn't think much of it because things like this happen a lot and I figured it just went under the car and hit the underside of the car. Well when I got to the dealership, I was showing my service consultant the lip I just put on the car and noticed a pretty big spot of paint missing.

And just when I thought it couldn't have gotten worse, I noticed another part where the "rock" had hit...

So now my bumper is being repaired and won't be done till Saturday. Just my luck, too.

Damn that sucks, sorry to hear! I've heard that sound a few times, often rocks that are stuck between the tire tread work their way out while driving and hit the undercarriage so loudly it sounds like a gunshot.

That's one thing that I have noticed about these new bumpers. It doesn't take much to damage them.
