Will this cover body damage ?

I tapped an island with the bottom of the 8 in a random spot. Can I install a side aero flare and not have it be affected by any new "angles" ???

Thanks

That should be relatively easy for a bodyshop to adjust, it may need some manipulation, before installing the aero. The aero would definatley hide what's underneath.

Thanks for the pic !

Do you know if any of the mounting points are near the dent ?
The wheel well shape IS NOT changed - even though it looks like it is

One screw in the back check links for higher res photos of the bottom.

It seems some of the insertion points for the flare have been tweaked probably need to straighten them out, doesn't seem too bad though.

im not sure if there is adhesive tape along the top edge of the flare. though maybe if you placed it on, you could get some gapping from a top eye view between the flare and car from the dent. it might cover from a side view...but from top not too sure.

i did the same thing but with my side flares on...it scratched the bottom only so you can't see it, only when you look under it.
