Damage to STI side skirt
 

I know this might not be the place and for myself, who's been on the forum for a while now, I should know better, but....

I need some advice on what to do here. This happened a few months ago, but I've yet to fix it (for obvious reasons like the snow).

Any idea what I can do here? I've been thinking that I can just sand off the sharp damage and then fill it up with some fillers.

I'd rather do that than have a shop fix it up for $$.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks guys!

you got four options

$$$ buy a new oem one
$$ buy a new replica one
$ fix it yourself, just as you described
deal with it.

I could deal with it. It's not really noticeable really unless you looked at it. I could just fill the spaces with fillers and be done with.

I've also dealt with it for the past 3 months now, but when summer comes along, it'll bother me haha.

That cut looks deep, how did it happen? Like you said, you might get away by refilling the broken spot and since its black, i guess it will be barely noticeable.

Hit a curb one night and because I was low I didn't see it. So I scraped my side skirt and have a curb rash on my wheels, but that's barely noticeable and I don't mind the wheels at all.

I do mind this though.

How low you are from stock? Mine is stock height and i scrape underneath my front lip. Obviously is not noticeable since its underneath the front lip but if you looks under my car you'll see it.

tape off the area. add some filler, sand it down, and then a couple coats of flat black spray paint. Should help a ton, since its so small in the first place

I'm actually at stock height also. The curb was just so low that I didn't see it as I was turning and add the fact that it was at night. With tints.

oh man, im actually going to get my tints this friday.. 20% all around except front windshield....

i have to be very careful :S

I'm OCD so I would be buying a new one.

But then it wouldn't match the other side
:eyebulge:

The answer is always carbon fiber:bellyroll:

Why wouldn't it?

I'm in the same boat with my front lip so I'm curious what you do. I'm really temped to carbon fiber wrap the whole kit or just but a cheap replacement one.
