Default need a new [whats it called]

Hi
I got to close to a curb made of rail-road ties tonight, and the rotting piece of sh*t had a big nail sticking out. My carcaught it and next thingI know, a piece of my car is attached to the nail. I am not sure what this part is called. It is the part that runs along the sides of the car between the fenders. the lowest part of the body. I think its called the apron, but I can not find anything online. (if my car was two-toned colored, it would be the part was the painted a different color then the rest of the car).

I hope this my descriptioncan help you help me.

Let me know if you know what this part is called and where i can get one online for a 2004 MC.

Thanks,
Ralph

The part you're referring to is commonly referred to as the ground effects. It's the black part under the door in my pic below.
MCF member "couch" works at a dealership and has said he has the ability to look up parts and give a price. Of course that would be for a new GM original part. You might have better luck checking junk yards. The part can come from any Monte from 2000 to 2005, since they're all the same. Another member is looking for the ground effects for his Monte, and so far the web hasn't helped much, from what I understand.

Good luck.

actually make sure you dont want to put on any after market ground effects like Razzi kit etc.

If you do you will need to take this part off your car anyway and now would be the best time to add this to your car.
You will need to buy and paint it anyway mise well be what ya want
