Default ran over a curb... something hanging loose... help

Hi all,

Wondering if I could get your opinions on something. Tonight I was parked in a parking lot at the last spot in the row so there was a curb beside me. When I was leaving I forgot the curb was there... I know, very stupid of me... So when I pulled out I made a sharp turn and went up on the curve and then my front wheel came down, but the curve was now under the side of my IS350!!!! I immediately turned the car the other way and came off of the curb, however I heard alot of scraping in the process.

When I got home I looked under the car and there doesn't seem to be any major damage to it. However, there is a piece of insulation or something hanging down from the edge of the rocker panel... Does anyone know if this is critical piece of insulation... something that I have to get replaced? or is it fine that I just tuck it back up under the rocker panel and everything will be okay...

Sorry my description sucks... maybe I will take some pics in the morning so its clearer.

Are you talking about the black rubber? Take your sideskirts off to see what happened, you should be able to just put it back in place.

Probably not a huge deal. I'm wondering when you say "Insulation" if it really is like home insulation. You should be fine. Tuck it and say F*@K it!!!!

Yeah its not rubber, but more like this sponge-like stuff... Its on the underside on the car by the edge of the rocker panel. I just tucked it back under.

Will take a pic in a few hours...
