Post 05 EP3 violated today at the mall. (body parts stolen)

I have a 2005 nighthawk black ep. Today at the mall my CTR style cf front lip was stolen along with my oem mudguards and sideskirts. They successfully stole the lip and muddies but the passenger sideskirt was broken 1/3 of the way towards the rear. Driver's side was taken off cleanly. Since as mentioned my car is a 05, (sideskirts come standard) I am left with these squarish holes in the body. I was thinking of plugging the holes for now and since my car is black, it shouldnt be too obvious as say a silver/white/blue/etc. color. Maybe body work down the road but as of now this seems the easiest/cheapest/convenient option. You guys think this will look ghetto? Or on a black car its more forgivable? I just dont have the funds right now for new skirts and not sure if I even wanna run sideskirts/lips/etc. anyways now after this incident.

P.S. For those who know body work, whats the best way to plug the holes? I dont wanna use bondo.

Damn that sucks!

No good way of just plugging those holes. I had a friend with a black civic who just left them and it was less noticeable then with the clips in (which they stole on your car)

I would have called it in and made a claim since new sideskirts are not cheap and a front lip and mudflaps etc.

That sucks man. I agree with Spaz, making a claim might be a good idea.

^^ Good point, most malls have security cameras for the parking lot. Check with Security ASAP (not sure how long they retain video footage) and see if you/the cops can ID anyone.
