The only problem you might have is with the fastener in that area. It may not seat properly if the hole that you'll drill is in the dented area. Other than that, you should be good to go.

Its been about 4 years since i installed mine, but as i remember the sideskirt gets held in place with brackets by the 2 wheel wells and then also down the length of the car you drill 2-3 holes where fasteners get put in place and the sideskirt bolts to the car
