I broke the side skirt. Advice which parts to buy to repair?
All I wanted to do was get it up on the wood block for a little clearance and the wood block somehow flipped up and took out the side skirt. The damage doesn't seem to be too bad, but can you all inform me which parts are likely broken so I can go ahead and order them? I have no idea how this is attached (could use advice on that too) and would appreciate info from others who have had their off.
EDIT: At the time, I didn't see the crease. I saw it when looking at the pic I posted and I'm realizing this whole piece will have to be replaced. I don't think the crease can be taken out. So now I'm wondering how much would a body shop charge to match and paint a new OEM piece? The part alone is about $500. I'm not going through insurance on this.
Thanks Ugh.

do you want to repair it by your self or with a professional help ?
Myself. I'm hoping its just a few clips or something.

The side skirts are pretty easy to remove. I took mine off when I installed my Chargespeed bottom line kit. It's just held out with some bolts and plastic clips.
What would a body shop cost? There's no telling. Call around and get some estimates. If you want to go aftermarket, there are plenty of side skirt options out there.
personally i would take it off... some heat and see if you can get the crease better. put it back on and go about your day. paint matching would be tricky
