heres the short story.....my friend took my car last night and had a blow out(brand new toyo tires). front driver side blew out. the hose in the pics is shreaded up, not sure what it is for. It looks like a silver hose with black covering around the top. It connects to the white piece in one of the pics.




Parts i need from this fabulous night:
-tire (local)
-New rim: 18" EPIC, not sure where i can get one.
-Wheel well cover
-Rear valence (cracked around driver exhaust) i guess lskoncepts
-And one major clean up from all the friggin tire mess, yeah the tire exploded and he drove on it for a minute, tar everywhere.

I believe that is the fuel vapor tube - come from the gas tank into the vapor purge canistor.

It follows the fuel lines from the tank and goes into the canistor on the driver side shock tower in the engine bay.

It's part of the emissions system - so it should be ok to drive as long as it's not leaking - or has a hole in it.

half the hose was ripped off, so I guess it stays in the driveway.

you may be able to plug off each end with a rubber vacuum cap - that would prevent vapor leaking on the hose or a vacuum leak on the canister end.
