thnx for the info .. i also noticed that the integras have the plastic on the stock "sideskirts" or whatever they are called . .would you think this has the same tendency to trap moisture? i'm going to get it to a body shop asap .. i've been looking for information but i haven't really found any . . i guess what i've found out is that i need to find a place that will mig weld a replacement chunk on both sides and then paint it and i'll have the best luck ..
