Go to home page and look in the zaino picks folder....


I think I did this myself to the lower skirt when I got out of the car( about 1 hr ago ) I think I must of hit with my shoe I didn't notice it happen but it's the only thig I can figure out that could of done it as it's right on the upper round edge of the skirt right where my feet swing by.It's too high for a chip and to clean almost like it flaked off It's about 1/2 inch in size and just cleanly pealed away to bare black plastic

Anyone know what these side skirts cost and do they come painted?

P.s Sorry about the pic quality as the dig.cam was having trouble with the focus with the zaino shine and all

Going to have to call Courtesy Nissan, Town North (DaveB), and get the price, I got no clue.

The piece comes painted new but costs a few hundred dollars. It's held on by 7-8 bolts, push clips, and double sided tape at the ends. Pop it off and get it repainted by a body shop. Will be cheaper and probably better quality paint.

Of course I would be upset too but it's not a tragedy.

You learn to live with it...I have a dent on my door and a scar on my rear corner and altho I regret them I don't find it necessary to fix them yet.

Just as an update...I cleaned the spot and used my nissan touch up stick ( the one like a hi-liter) and gave it one coat. I found if you push it down and let the paint flow out it will kind of pool in the spot. It already looks better than it was. I figure I can get it just above level than try a light water sanding.

I know it's just a car and all. It's just when you walk up to your car that you always keep mint and see a section of paint the size of your finger print MISSING it tends to pi$$ you off a bit.Especially when your the obsessive compulsive type like me that now will always walk up to the car looking at that spot to see how noticeable it is

OK I'm done...I'm going to go have sex and take my mind off it
