Unhappy My Car Got A BooBoo!









Long story short I spun out lost control, due to a a-hole that ran a red light, I lost control and ended up in a ditch on way way down into the ditch I scraped and dented my door, does anyone know where I can find that piece that I circled in red? Also what is that piece / part called?

Yeah, man that damaged part is part of the car's frame, You're just gonna have to cover that booboo up with some '97+ OEM sideskirts.

It can't, since it's part of the car's external frame.

no need to switch it, get 97 sideskirts to cover it up.

all I can really see is the huge pole that (it looks like) you almost hit.
but that's not too bad. more worried about possible suspension damage. still drive alright?

Your side skirts you could get separate the cost you might have to look around to see different prices but if I was you I would just get the entire kit. I had the same damage to my sc and I just bought the entire kit

Some 97+ side skirts would look good. You can get the entire kit or just get the rear bumper, side skirts, and a SC400 front lip (If you wanted to keep your current front bumper).

I would go with a Shine Auto body kit though if you're going to replace everything.
