I was lucky...only a warning

[Burtonboarder950]

Today didn't start out so well, I had a rough morning...literally. I was on my way to school and was about to make a right turn with a cigarette in one hand, my stickshift in the other, and definitely going faster than I should have been to attempt this turn. Anyway, the right side of my car shakes for a second and I immediately pull over to see the damage. Turns out i scraped the curb with the front corner of my side skirt...right next to the wheel. The wheel had no damage and neither did my bumper. Turns out when I turned the wheel to the right, the back of the wheel turns into the wheel well and was hidden from the curb. The scrape was about the size of a playing card, and looked horrilble. I couldn't get it off my mind during school, and even went on ebay during class to see how much it would cost for some cheap side skirts. Let me remind you, I AM BROKE. So i got home an hour ago and noticed that I could pull back the part of the side skirt that i scraped. So i grabbed my screw driver and the next thing i know the outer part of my side skirt screwed right off and underneath is clean and scratchiness. I just wanted to share to let you guys know not to worry if this ever happened to you. Here is a pick before the accident with the peice still on. I dont have a pic with it off but it looks the awesome! I decided to keep the one on the other side, just in case . P.s...do all of you have this side skirt guard thing? Is it stock or did the person i buy it off of put them on himself? And whats the name of them? Thanks

Same thing happened to me when I got hit with the shredded ties. If it wasn't for the guard my side skirt would have been gone. Now it has minor scratches that you cant see unless your up close. The funny thing is 3 days earlier when my car was in the shop I asked them to take all the guards off and they had forgotten.

[Burtonboarder950]

wow thats really lucky. Are they called guards? Where do i find them, links would help thanks a lot guys

[Watermelonwarrior]

You can find them used on craigslist for $50 for all 4 if not cheaper. A lot of people think they mess with the lines on the Z so they take them off once they get there car.

Watermelonwarrior: What did you pay, and where did you get the carbon fiber cover for your front bumper (bottom center) I hit a possum about 2 weeks ago and chipped the clear and pearl coat off dead center on that section of the bumper, and if i can find one of those covers for cheap enough, i'm gonna see if i like the look on my car. I like it on yours, but white and red are different ya know.

[Watermelonwarrior]

Its not a cf cover. When I bought the new bumper I took it to my body shop and had them paint that black. They also did the grill to so its shiny black and not that plastic look it had before. Didnt cost me anything extra and makes the bumper a little more unique then a stock. I think if you buy that piece its in the 130-170 area. Check out Courtesy Parts has it.
