Re: Hit a tire... hard.
Very frustrating!
I had to replace my fog lamp and lower drivers side grille also, due to roadway debris.
In my case it happened on the interstate. An igloo cooler was tagged by a car on another lane ahead of me which sent the cooler bouncing over to my lane. The cooler was too late to avoid and struck it at 75mph...(oh the sound of impact you never want to hear, tearing into your beautiful car! Ouch!)
Cost of the front end damage was $50. for a used foglamp. They normally sell north of $100 used. A new OEM driverside lower grille for $55. ordered online. It took one hour of my time replacing the parts and buffing scuff marks.
