If you have authentic veilside you can buy a replacement set of skirts for 50% off with thier warranty. if you haven't registered yet it's $15 to register. Call VeilSide.

Thanks, I have been meaning to do that. However, my front are L-Sportline. The side skirt is fine, just had to push it back into place.

UPDATE: Finally got my car back from the shop. Took a little longer due to the rain in S. CA. Still need to go back to get it buffed later on this week. I am really happy with the paint matching. We all know how difficult it is to match White Pearl, but the shop did a great job.

Thanks to DougieGS4 (sp) for the recommendation: BACKYARD CREATIONS.
Thanks to Joe @ Backyard Creations...he is a really great guy. Explained to me what was done and what the first shop I went to didn't do. I am planning to go back to have my entire kit redone the right way by him.


Here are a couple pics I just took. Please note, the bumper still needs to be buffed and cleaned. For some reason, the color looks off probably due to the lighting, but it looks great to me in real life. Much better than when I first got it painted.

Thanks GammaLex...actually, I don't think anything happened to the headlight, that's probably just the normal condensation you see there.
