The side skirts only go on one way, no real way to move them around for better fitment. (clips snap on no way to adjust for better fitment) I say leave it alone as they might mess it up more by removing and reinstalling. The clips are very fragile and break off easily on the side skirt side itself. I know I removed mine.

Default Suggestions

A few suggestions....

First, contact the Nissan area manager. They often handle things better than an individual dealer.

Second, see if you can get a lawyer to write a nasty letter. The letter alone--with appropriate threat of lawsuit or whatever the lawyer thinks is right--might do the trick.

Finally, or instead of #2, file in small claims court for the filing limit--whatever it is in your state. You won't get all your $8000 back, but then again you don't need it all back.

Good luck. Your story gets me mad every time I think of it. I'm with you, bro.

Sometimes that's what it takes. I bought an Integra the week they hit the US shores. Two weeks later, got rear-ended. Aside from no parts being availabe, body shop did a crappy job since it was obviously the first one they had ever worked on. 10 months and $24,000 later (including the Integra loaner I got), it was back to new. Original car was like $16,000.They should have just totaled it.
