Ok, well yesterday I checked in with costco (where I got the tires) and they told me that since there is road hazard protection I get a new tire at a pro-rated price (I paid $40 instead of $115). Although the car feels funny now that one tire is new and the others 30% worn. Kind of off center.

The wheel has a nice big nick out of the edge of the rim. I asked the guy to put it on his balancer and check if it was bent. It was, slightly (not bad enough to have to replace it), but he pointed out it was probably not the curb that did this but hitting a deep pothole.

The rear skirt jack cover was broken in half from the impact with the curb and the back half of the skirt was about 3/4 of an inch away from the body. I checked out the skirt and its toast. The back end is REALLY scraped and messed up. I did however, get it popped back into place and it looks better (slightly). If any of you guys know where to find a nice passenger side silver 98+ SVT or SE side skirt, I really need one.

The back tire seems fine but the wheel looks like it took a tiny nick out of it. frown

Well thats my update. Feel better James, its not just you. Although I'm not such a pussy that I wear green tube socks. :p
