chances are, new ones would be a worse match than repainted ones

No way you are going to fix side skirts. Need new ones. Obviously the mechanic was an idiot.

body guy is supposed 2 be in today and give me a call. will update after that is recieved. Hopefully he will say its not worth investing the man hours into it and just replace it. Does anyone know what material these sideskirts are made out of fiberglass or plastic. And how much do stock OEM ones cost. This information would be helpful

Don't let them bully you around man...a "certified professional" jacked your car up using your side skirts and not your jack points. Most idiots would even know that's a dumb idea. They are fully responsible, there is no "hopefully" about it.

PM RussellM for information and pricing on the parts.

even if they get you new sideskirts I dont think they are prepainted from the factory anymore. just like the bumpers, lips, and wings. I worked in Mitsu parts and they do not have stuff painted at the factory anymore so they will still have to be painted by a body shop....Good luck.

Same thing happened to me (sort of) and a jiffy lube I went to for inspection in the Evo. Guy jacked it up weird to do the visual inspection of the cat, and the jack slipped (cuz it was in the wrong spot) and the car fell and the jack dented the under panel of the car right kind of under the clutch pedal area. They pounded the dent back out and passed my safety inspection even though my windows were too dark. I called it even, but I never went in to a jiffy lube for anything ever again.

If you paid for a new car would you want a new car or a new car with used bent up side skirts?
