Several small dents, nothing major. They happen.

Do these cars chip easily? I've looked at two cars, and 03, and an 05, and both had severe chips on front bumper and hood. Hard to believe people follow THAT closely.

Not so many actual dents or dings but scratches are different. Im pretty sure the previous owner cleaned there car with sandpaper and rocks. And then wore cleats and stood on the door sill to get in.

Hah, that's great.

I'm pretty sure every Evo I've looked at was owned by that same guy. It trips me out when people say: 2 dings driver side, 4 dings passenger side, wing delaminating, dent on trunk, scratches on bumpers, some small stone chips, cracked headlight, smoked taillights. Exterior 8/10. $22,000.

Where I'm from that would be a total loss.

The number of "showroom condition" cars I've looked at in my life where owners needed a reality-check was already excessive, but seems to be worse for Evos.

When a ding does occur though I get it PDR'd immediately.
I have only had two cars that for some reason "WOULD NOT" get dinged...

My 82 Camaro Z28 and My 2000 Chevy Silverado

My young son banged the **** out of them and they would never dent or damage the paint...

Did you get that nasty dent in the trunk of your Evo X fixed? If so did you use Mobile Recon? If so let me know if they got that out without drilling or painting! My wife's car is getting hammered to hell at college and I want to just do them all at one time and if they got that out without drilling I know they can take care of the ones we have in the family car!

Thanks man!

Most of my buddies are not getting their door dings at work or grocery shopping, they are getting them at the track or autocross in the paddocks. We should all stop using our cars and maybe we can keep dents out of them! You sir are extremely lucky!

My front bumper is all chipped up but they are vary small and you cant see them from 5 foot back. Few small chips that I fixed that were on the doars from doar dings. 2 small dents in ds rear. Tiny spot of rust on the mounting hole of my wing. (will be getting a cf trunk to fix it).
