In short, I ran my car over some curb's angle and it's pretty much damaged, I am wondering if it's possible to simply place a side skirt kit over it. I am thinking something on the line of AirWalkers' side skirt. I am wondering if anyone would know the installation procedure for side skirts, i.e. where are the parts where connections are made. I am trying to estimate whether or not I can slap on the side skirt without having my original body part fixed. pleae advise!!!

see blow Thanks : )

Hi all, here is the original message in the Toronto Forum:


Oh @#$!# DAMN DAMAGE!
Okay, booo, I was parked today beside a curb in a parking lot. A very high curb indeed, appx. 7 inch tall. I was trying to stay as close to the curb so that who ever pull in beside me would "keep away" a safe distance. Well smart me I parked 3 inch from the curb, and the curb height was about just 2 inch below the door when I have it open. The curb was to the right of the car.

and ... when I left the parking lot ... . i forgot all about the curb, dented/scratch the entire bottom right at the corner of the curb.

damage: 1 inch below the door and down,
length: the legth of the door.
Depth: appx. 1 inch deep.
In short I think I maybe looking at a replacement for the entire bottom right piece (the part of the body that attaches half of the right back and down under the door)
Don't think paint job is avoidable. Now ..

I am hoping maybe someone can direct me to a good body shop, or should I just bring it back to my honda dealership for an estimate?


On second thoughts, would any aftermarket sdie skirt be able to cover this damage? Like mention above, the damage is about 1 inch below and door and down, dented in about 1 inch depth. Please advise.


~ me, still haven't gotten over with how silly I was to make such a mistake.

I did this exact same thing today. Parked close to the curb just so there was enough room for who ever parked beside me to not hit my car when opening their door, when i pulled out of my parking spot i took to sharp of a turn and clipped the end of the curb with the passenger side of my car

Dat thread bump

 

Atleast he used the search function...

 

^^True, but this isn't an ap1 vs ap2 debate Besides, the last time the TS was on was in May of 2003. Very slim chance he'll respond. Regardless, sucks about the sideskirt.

 

This never would have happened in an AP2...

 

OP is long gone. Bumper has one post and hasn't actually asked any questions. This merits being closed.

Johnnyb: if you need some guidance on how to repair the damage, consider posting in the S2000 Body and Paint section of the forum. Sorry for your unfortunate situation. One heck of a first post.
