Default p*******!

it is really suck that happened to my car on both Wednesdays, well last Wednesday i did the oil change by using two wood blocks and ran my car on those wood blocks so I have more ground clearange, long story short I got the oil change done and ready to back out my car when I back it down from those wood blocks, and for some reason those blocks stick up and rip my GFX loose from the bumper and both of my wheels liners tear too and just got insurance adjuster yesterday and quote the damage, and today is Wednesday it exactly one week later I hit the pothhole and bend my volk outer lip, lucky it no leak air I wonder the med wheels shop could fix it, or just sell them and move on different wheels

I want to order too at $18 lol. I bought something similar to these off eBay for $70 a while back and the fitment is bad. Looks nothing like the OEM one too. The fender liner fell out when I hit a deep pothole going to school and I just left it on the street. Let us know how it fits, going for OEM right now but if it works out, I'd save $100.
