Wife drives car, mysterious rocker panel broke

Last weekend got my oil changed at Jay Wolfe, feeling good about my TL, washed it yesterday everything looked normal then TODAY!

Today Im looking at my beautiful black TL after my wife got home with it and my lower rear rocker panel sticking out at me. I tried pushing it back in but I knew the odds of that working was slim and I realized that the clips are broke. I asked my wife what the hell did she do and I got the "Nothing I just went to work and to the store" yea sure and you ran on top of a curb and broke my panel.
We have a G coupe and a FX and I have seen her turn the corners to close and bang the rear tires on the curb while turning. Our wheels are scrapped all up on both cars. Except for mine because I drive it more then her thank God

Got a estimate from body shop $178.00, its not big money but I rather screw my own car up myself. Her butt wont touch my seat for awhile!!

yup, hate when that happens, hitting curb can mess up the alignment too, you should see if it starts pulling on high speed.

Kevin,

Sorry to hear that. Go to Jay Wolfe Acura and see Chris Hadley, Steve or Dan in the Service Department. They're all great guys and can help you out.
