Okay, my sideskirt is literally hanging on for dear life. All of the clips and brackets on the inside of the sideskirt have broken. Has this happened to anyone else? If so how did you fix it? Any idea how much a bodyshop would charge to fix it?
 
So, every single bracket was broken? The ones that hold the plastic clips in place which are popped onto the car? Seems really weird that this happened to you. Maybe that heavy duty 3m tape would suffice for now.

Yea, they are all broken. It's strange.
 
You can get new clips or screws. If not tape? If not, then improvise like I did with a zip tie when I was in an accident.
 
Damm that sucks bro,that used to happen to me in my 2g.I bought the car like that and ghetto rigged it like 3 times in 2 years.Grab some JB weld,some gloves and a helmet,it's gonna get messy.Ok firs,go to the stealership and buy all the clips your gonna need and then a couple more just in case,what you don't use you can return or keep just in case.Now there not cheap,but their the only ones that work correctly,Trust me i know.Then JB the broken slots,remember,clean the surface real good before with a paint friendle solvent or the glue will not stick right.Give the glue full time to dry and cure itself,please be patient,if not it wont last.after that whualla,good as oem.I recomend removing the sideskirt in order to do this right,but you can always try with it on,then get sick and tired of it still coming off before you actually do take it off.good luck,and make up your mind with the spoiler.:p
 
You can get the clips and all from the dealer and then you know they will fit. Call around for a price break.
