Car Wounded, Need Help!!! (Sliced side skirt)

!Xoible · 06-04-2008, 05:24 PM

hi... seems something has sliced my side skirt, and there's a piece of the skirt material + paint on top of it hanging from my skirt.

what do i do???
new skirt? take to body shop to fill it? to dealer? try to paint over it, leave it as is??

sorry for the picture quality

Davinhci · 06-04-2008, 05:27 PM

I got a scratch that i've been wanting to fix myself, but I am going to wait a little longer. Didn't want to paint my whole hood yet. Sorry about your blemish as well.

!Xoible · 06-04-2008, 05:28 PM

if it's a scratch or just paint i can use touch-up, but it took a part of skirt itself

sorry about ur scratch too... we being jinxed hahah

Davinhci · 06-04-2008, 05:35 PM

Yeah that sux, things like this will definitely come up from time to time. Maybe ask your boy Longtran for advice?

!Xoible · 06-04-2008, 05:36 PM

haha yah been waiting for him to pop online

Davinhci · 06-04-2008, 05:37 PM

yeah it seems to me he's the man you want to talk to. hahah

!Xoible · 06-04-2008, 05:43 PM

im not sure he's in town, otherwise i wouldnt be posting a thread

mkoesel · 06-04-2008, 05:45 PM

Rip off the chunk, fill it with epoxy, and touch up the paint.

!Xoible · 06-04-2008, 05:46 PM

speaking of that... u think i can fill my reflectors with epoxy the same way?

Sedan_Clan · 06-04-2008, 05:53 PM

Yeah, I'd definitely have Longtran fix it. A new skirt isn't necessary. Longtran has come through for me twice already...............in a BIG way!

Yep! It would look much cleaner than painted reflectors too.

!Xoible · 06-04-2008, 05:54 PM

hahah the things i owe that dude! thanks for input everyone!

SlammedR8 · 06-04-2008, 06:42 PM

is that your bumper or side skirt?
cant tell from pic?
if its the bumper - then this is it man. this is when you have the reflectors removed and filled and painted!

!Xoible · 06-04-2008, 06:42 PM

side skirt

MDCTFTW · 06-04-2008, 07:06 PM

DEFINITELY not worth going through insurance to fix that.

MDCTFTW · 06-04-2008, 09:18 PM

Since it's on the passenger side you probably won't notice it that often. Wait for other blemishes to fix that one IMO.

kbk_75 · 06-06-2008, 12:12 PM

I just got tagged by a Mitsubishi Pajero trying to squeeze between me and a bus at a traffic light. He scratched my left-rear wheel arch and a bit of the bumper. Son of a bitch.
