Yea but he is in Australlia, so in your situation try and have the shop just repair and respray it. It sucks because if it was in the US you could just swap out to GFX sides prepainted and install them yourself free which is very easy. The doors you could use touch up pen on until you save up for a re-spray and repair.

Yeah I'm going to post a WTB in the buy/sell section of the forum now.

@robertrios I went to a paint shop the guy said @ the cost of repaint, better off to get new skirt

Shame about the shipping cost. Joys of living in Gold Coast Australia

Hey guys need some advice.

Found a local used (good condition) pair oem STARLIGHT black (282) sideskirts from 2011 IS250.
Cheaper than buying new.
Does anyone know if the colour difference with Obsidian Black (212) car will be bad?

Appreciate any thoughts

Update

Bought the 282 Starlight black sideskirt pair for $100 and fitted myself following a DIY on these boards.
Got the doors panel beated + painted for only $400 (one guy quoted $1000!)

End result!
