Crusing,
On my way to Doylestown PA (Bucks county) beeeeeeuuutyful-78-degree-bone dry-blue-bird sky day...
Cellphone rings, Verizon wireless calls about a refund to my account, I pick up the phone and as I look down to flip it open
BAM!!!!!!!!
Biggest pothole to date at 85 MPH...passanger front wheel jolts, steering wheel jerks and everything groans..a piece of plastic flies from my bumper into the windshield and gets swept away by the wind; car is vibrating; flashers on, looking for the shoulder...
by the time I pulled over a few hundred feet went by...I was expecting a flat...no flat, inspected sidewalls for bulges...no bulges, I checked the rim and it seemed okay so I limped to WaWa for further inspection whereupon I discovered that I lost my balance weight (the otherwise dirty rim had clean shiny rectangular area on inner side) as I walked around the hood to get to the drivers door I noticed my drivers side headlight washer jet cover missing (that explains the piece of plastic flying towards the windshield)...[BLEEEP]

If I order this part from the dealer does it come painted?
Also, any idea as to the ballpark cost?

I ordered a WIS CD from an ebay seller but it's yet to arrive so I'm going to have to depend on the collective wisdom of the bozos at Beltway Buick/Subaru now Buick/Subaru/Saab to quote me the right part number.
Wish me luck...

The wheel vibrates slightly, all told, it could have been worse.
I'm off to Gannon Tire in Brooklyn tuesday; they have good techs and top of the line Hunter equipment.

I had five people in the car and an empty trunk, 85-95 mph, 22 mpg. I've seen better, much better on that route (RT3-NJpike-I78-202-212-311)...seems like ever since I've had my 60K done my mileage dipped; odd.
