That thread may explain why my car has not gotten worse after I added all the bars.
It dimpled while stock, actually. My car has to twist quite a bit when I drive into my driveway.

Well this is concerning. I don't have any dents and I've been driving normal for the most part, but lately I've been taking corners faster so I hope they don't start forming. I mean, what should we do, the dealer will just say some stuff fell on it and made the dents.

I had 17's before and noticed the dimples around the sunroof. Someone had told that since there is less rubber than the 15's, the body flexing does not get absorbed by the tires and a possible solution is to install strut tower bars and rear sway bars.

Am I reading correctly here that the Coupes seem to be more dimple prone than the sedans?

Ok... i have dimples as well, we won't get into the story of how i got them....but it sounds like a few of you have gotten them fixed...how much money did u have to fork out to get it fixed? a simple dent place could fix it???...or do i have to take it somewhere where they do more then paintless dent removal?

To fix mine, they did the actual body work and repainted my roof, trunk, and hood. At least my car is super shiney once again.

About 800 dollars to do all this. Seems the sun roof area flexes a lot.
