<< I have a buddy with the following sheet metal dilemma...
Anyone ever hear of this happening before?
He says: "I own a '99 Acura Integra GS-R Sports Coupe.
The problem is that a number of dents have
appeared on top of both front fenders and the rear quarter panels. The
dents on the driver's side appear to be semetrical with those on the
passenger side. I don't believe they were caused by any person. My
private
mechanics, The Meccanic Shop in Valhalla, New York, who are Honda/ Acura
specialists,
told me that these dents sometimes appear on the Integras spontaneously
due
to light sheet metal and body design,(force dynamics).
Have you ever heard of such a thing happening on an Acura Integra or any
other car for that matter - spontaneous self-denting?"

The curse of unibody construction. Not all do it, but many do. I had to
install subframe connectors on my '89 IROC to keep the thing from looking
like a pretzle:)
