Question can i fix this??

http://groups.msn.com/gerrysrx7/shoebox.msnw

this has been on my car since i got it...is there any way to fix this...the pics are ok but not gret...the underside of the car, the sideskirts(if i had them) are pushed in and im wondering if they can be fixed somehow or if the only way to cover them up is to actually get part of a body kit and put it over it..any info is appreciated

They can be fixed, however ther are a couple of issues.

#1 finish... the rubbersied finish in that area is very difficult to duplicate correctly.

#2 the metal may be damaged too far to pull, and you might need to replace the panel entirely.

#3 sideskirts may not mount correctly if the metal is too pushed out, or too damaged.
