Side skirt recommendations

What’s up y’all,

Got hit while parked some months ago and have a pretty minor dent on the quarter panel. I’m looking to get side skirts to cover it up since the dent isn’t that big. The car is stock so I’m not looking for anything too intense. Just enough to cover up the dent and give it a little upgrade. I attached a picture of the dent.

Appreciate any advice!

Maybe something small with a little lip that will hide the scratch like this?

In all seriousness, I'd just keep driving it. That dent will disappear in the next 10k miles. Well..ok...it'll still be there, but you won't notice it anymore, or you won't care as much.

Since you have an FRS, you can go with TRD side skirts. A more affordable copy with good quality is by Bayson R. IMO, you can have it wrapped instead of painted as wraps will not only be cheaper but also they won't look awful when nicked by rock chips as painted ones will reveal the primer when chipped.

+1 for Bayson R. Cheap, easy to work with, and if it gets damaged, again, cheap.
