    That sucks! Had that happen to me before.

    Looks like fender, headlight retainer ring, Headlight Bezel, Maybe the headlight bucket and adjusters. Pic also looks like the corner of the grill is broken. At least they missed the hood.

    Man, I'm sick for you. Good luck on getting the replacement parts. I hope you find what you need (maybe post an ad in the classifieds here?).


    I assume there aren't any Taco Bell security cams aimed at the parking lot?

    I'd get a police report.
    You'd be surprised at how many cameras there are even in seeming dead locations.
    A bank, convience store, ATM, Wal Mart (or grocery) parking lot, etc... even a block or so away, could get your perp.
    Gotta act fast though, security tapes usually loop and record over the previous film every day or so.
    Sorry for your car, good luck!

    All you need is one that happens to look in the direction of a window that looks out on your car...
    Probably a long shot, but I would eyeball the cameras and see if there was a possibility.

    Sorry this happened to you. This is what I think of the low life that did this to your Mav. :mad: :mad: :rant2: On a brighter note the fenders are usually pretty available. Good luck with the repair! (y)
