lol...it actually is a really old trick but i hear it works better on steel but the only thing thst would make a difference is the tensil strength of the metal. either way...ima try it soon before it gets cold again

ive actually seen a video with no cuts on youtube about this... taking a piece of foil and placing it over the dented area heating it up with a long neck lighter throughout the dented area(covered by the foil) then take it off and quickly pour water of it and it pops the dent out... i know it work cause i see something like this on a metal prep table at work. but idk if itll wrk on little dent/dings. those are small bends in the metal... but who knows, might work...

flipperlazo: i wish they were RS, but they are the 002s and i think they are pretty decent for reps. the gold ones are pretty sick too. what colour is your car?

from what i understand dry ice works better with small dents due to the way its supercools the metal and it apparently can remove dents along body line with little to no distortion after its popped...but the lighter thing is the same principle, cooling the metal quickly causes the metal to contract.


Along a different line of reasoning, money is in da bank and im waiting on it to post...once it does...ill be waiting for me ETC from twpanson...props to pan! ^_^

After doing the Hemi I have thought of adding them to the Fit same location as you are going to do. They do stand out even in the daytime.

Nice HDR editing there. Was it done as an exposure step or in HDR toning?
Nice PS work.

LOL!

Washed and waxed last weekend.

Gassed and put the new insurance card in it this weekend.

PA inspection, tomorrow. (Wifey wants me to take it to the Stealership for the two recalls, but I'm reluctant. )

Washed, waxed, filled up, noticed the mpg dropping and checked the tires while she was in the garage and all were down 5-6 lbs! Added 143db. horn, removed the oem 108db. then detailed the wheel well. Removed the garage door spoilers.

I'll post up some pix as soon as they arrive. I'll start at the point of the head light and go to the eyelid if that's too gaudy I'll trim back 'em, ha-ha!!?

Yep! I installed a WOLO and added 5 amps to the fuse becasue it blew (the fuse) the first time someone almost hit me! 20A instead of 15, I think. (Working fine so don't flame me )
