RS America piece

[Chakka71]

Purchasing an RS and trying to figure out where I can get and what kind of price it would be to fix. The mounting pins on the backside are broken. Doesn't look able to be repaired. Seems like a small piece, but trying to gauge replacement cost.

The backside of what?

What part has broken mounting pins?

Sorry, meant to put the picture on. Unable to copy/download it. It is the piece below, slightly left of the RS logo on the passengers side. A small piece with rubber trim(rocker panel). Almost rectangular is shape. Not very big. Just infront of the rear wheel.

This piece?

That's IT! Is there someplace online I can get it?

That is a very common part to damage, especially in an autocross environment where it gets whacked by cones. The connectors on the back are pretty lame. I have through-bolts on mine, but it is not exactly a street car.

This is not a cheap part to replace:

Might want to visit your local dismantler or watch eBay.

And, this is a primed part meaning you still need to paint it to match your car.

How bad is the one you have? Mine had ripped mounting points on the back side, I J.B. Welded everything and it held up well.

The mounting point closest to the rear wheel is not optional. J.B. weld or maybe Gorilla glue might be the solution. The piece visually is perfect. I'll have a to check it out when I pick it up Saturday!
