Will new side skirts cover damage?
So, I'm in the Navy and get moved around alot... Bought my 8 in South Carolina and shortly after was told i have to go to New York. Never having driven a rear wheel drive car in the snow before it did not go so well, So i was wondering if side skirts would cover up damage to the area directly below my passenger doors. Anyone ever had experience with this? I would post pic's but it's dark out so ill have to get them tomorrow morning. I drive an '04 RX8 with no side skirts and from the looks of it, i'd have to replace a whole lot of good car to fix the little bit of bad.
Thanks everyone!
Thanks everyone!

Yeah, you would need to post pictures if you could, depends on which sideskirts you get; appearance package, Mazdaspeed(OEM or replica), or aftermarket. But, take a look into this thread before you make a purchase: "Under Rocker Panel Repair"

Essentially the same exact damage, i like the look of the 04 body with no lips anywhere so i may go get a quote to see if they can fix it / how much. I'll still throw some pics up when i get a chance and after depending on which route i take.
Thanks for the link though.

Yeah, i love the color. Really pops when she's nice and clean. Can anyone recommend temporary coverage to prevent rust while i work on funding to get it fixed. From the same accident my doors got a crease in the metal and some paint cracked so hopefully not a very ugly fix. I got some touch up paint on the way, if i just put some of that on would that be sufficient?
