This might be an old topic, but alas this has happened to me again. About a year ago, after hitting a hard seam I had a real small dimple in the quarter panel of my then new SS. Today I found two larger but somewhat faint waves or dimples in the same quarter panel area, further toward the front. Here is the kicker: The car has been sitting for a month!! I've never launched hard with the car, but it has seen a few trips beyond 110 mph. I'm thinking that probably the last high speed romp I went on probably did it. I didn't hit any hard bumps either.

Can anyone advise me on what to do? I will probably have a paintless dent removal person look at it. I hope he won't have to drill a hole, but push comes to shove I'll probably have it done regardless if it can be fixed. Subs will follow immediately! Thanks.

 

There is a "ripple" in the rear quarter panel that is common on these cars. Are you sure what you are seeing wasn't there before?

 

Maybe try getting subframe connectors?

 

I have them too. I wouldn't worry about them, if you get them fixed the might come back and your just in an endless cycle.

Just think of them as power dents,

BTW I have subframe connectors, but I don't think they would help as far as the dents. Look at the dents they don't look like they are caused from the twisting force from torque on the chassis.

 

I think we all have them...

I do... my friends think its "cool" cuz its a powerful car... LOL

 

No those babies are new. I have been over that panel many times. I was thinking of the sfc's to help. Someone says that it might not help. Most people say that it should. Now I'm not sure. This is the only reason I was thinking of putting them on.

I can learn to live with them and such, but I figured if I could stop them with the sfc's then I'd try to have them removed....

Who knows.........it is always something with these cars.

 

i also got them, but i learned to live with them, they don't bother me and im not gonna try to fix them either, i don't want the problem to get bigger but i think they stay like that and never become any worse from what iv'e heard.

 

I just want to make sure that the problem will be arrested with subframes. I was avoiding them (despite its benefits) until I saw these "ghost" dimples.

I can live with anything, to be honest, but if I can help it I'd rather not.
