Ok, here we go... I found a ding on my driver's side ground effect. it is about 2 inches in length and is pretty deep. I found a place that can seel me the panel for around $315.00 shipped. Does anyone know of a place around here that can match the gun metallic paint and how much it would possibly cost?

Thanks in advance,

Unbelievable what some people do - no respect for anyone else's property. Mike C found paint rubs on the front Driver side wheel fender and driver's side mirror on his 40th Anniversary... we spent about an hour yesterday polishing this off (we even wet sanded it to get it all off)... it was sickening to even look at it...

That sucks for sure, hold on to your old side when you get the new one installed. If i can find another one for cheap i'll get that one from you.

Actually it looks as if my tire threw something up and smacked the panel. I don't think the dealer did it with their lift for the oil change. I had washed it since the oil change and didn't notic it then. Just this weekend. WTF

Just making sure.

I found the sill for $315.00 shipped and the local dealer where I bought the car from gave a rough quote of $200.00 for the paint job. Any thoughts?

It shouldn't cost more than $150-200 to paint that side skirt if you go through a place like that. Make sure they analyze the color of your car because it's hard to match. The guy that does my paint work painted my bumper twice before the color would match. Mainly because there are SO many different variations of the K23 paint code.

Besides, silvers and metallics are always the HARDEST colors to match.

Ok, I did my good deed for the day. I had a black NISMO driving in front of me today after work, so I decided to pull along side of him and flag him down. I got him to roll down his window and then I asked him to pull over. He was reluctant to do so, but he did anyway. I saw the look on his face... The "Why did this guy flag me down" face. I asked him if the ride was rough, to which he replied yes. I told him about the shipping spacers, their purpose, and that the dealer should have taken them off. He had no idea about them. I asked him to turn his wheels and behold he had three spacers on each side. It was a 2010 BTW. I showed him the spacers so he could explain to the dealership what needed to be removed and so that he could check for himself after they "claim" to remove them. I also told him about this great forum and that he should check it out.

Problem solved... Problem staying solved... One NISMO at a time. I just need to catch the other GM NISMO running around Metairie.
