yea the outter skirt was pushed in maybe half inch but it its cosmetic really so i didnt bother messing around with it as it dosent get seen. we tried all the panels on and everything lined up good after we pulled the hinges. its kinda like my first car, didnt have the heart to part it out, and for 200 bucks buy back its sill not to put it back on the road. got aq soft spot for the calais...
