How high was the curb? It must have felt like you hit a wall. It did with me, and I wasn't going as fast as that.

Unfortunately it did damage the engine under cover on mine (as shown in my pictures). I undid the bolts and popped the dents out of it, but the plastic still seems out of shape between the bolts, as if it's been stretched.

New pictures after my "repair":

Looks okay from the front now.




In this one, you can see the plastic still bunched (although not as bad as before) between the two bolts. It obviously got stretched when it impacted the curb.
