I might carbon fiber wrap it, just wondering where to get one. Also, I was thinking about getting a cheap replacement one, but I don't want any of taht around my car at all...haha, that's just me.

I was also thinking about another set of OEM STI side skirts, but they are so expensive...

I was thinking that also, but wouldn't that raise my insurance? Also, my deductible I believe is $500...so it wouldn't be much of a difference...

I would get a replicate or just fix it. Bayson R makes really good replicates fitting has good as oem and looking the same for 1/3 the price.

x1UP · 03-03-2015, 02:18 PM

I think i'm going to fix it myself. It's the easier and cheapest option it seems.

Or just get a shop to fix it and get it painted black. My front lip rip off at the track. I just got a new lip for 450.

Not sure how much that would cost me, but I would imagine a lot.

I think i'd rather sand it and filler it up myself, which is cheaper.

The color or texture (can't remember) of the cheapo's and OEM's are slightly different

I meant replacing it with OEM, not a replica.

I'm guessing it should be around 600 for the sides. Unless you can just grab just one then it much cheaper. You should give your dealer a call to see if that's possible

Get a new one breh

As for filler, JB Weld works really good to fix plastics. It's easily sandable and has similar flex to plastic. Also, don't use JB Qwik, that stuff is pretty weak. I would do what AdamG said and mask it off, fill it with JB (wait overnight), then sand and paint it flat or semigloss black.

As much as I'm for the cheap knockoffs (thats what I have on my car), I wouldn't suggest buying them for your series blue because the knockoffs just don't look as nice and fit as nice as the original.

Good luck and keep us posted on your solution!
