I'm sure you can get a nice pair of sideskirts from another forum member or take this as an opportunity to upgrade to some umnitza skirts. Also you can expect to get the wheel repaired for about $100. So your looking at less then $500 to fix everything including upgrading to mtech skirts. Even less if you get some used skirts.

I would go through your insurance.. you'll just have to pay your deductable if ya lucky.....or even check the classifieds on this site maybe you'll get lucky and find the same color items for sale that matches your car.... Good Luck though I can feel ya pain my car has been out of commission since June 19 due to water damage....

The last thing you want to do is spend a couple grand in increased insurance premiums over the next 3 years for a few hundred dollars worth of damage.
