Story below pics.
I of course lifted up the spoiler to take following pics. The mounts are completely ripped off of the spoiler. I guess this gives me a chance to clean all of the grime under there? So the other day, me being stupid as I am, was talking to my friend who had just helped me re-hook up some wiring while backing up. Well I backed right into a huge damn military truck that was sitting where we did the work at. The tow dented in my hatch and ripped the spoiler mounts from the spoiler itself. Of course the truck didn't even get a scratch in its paint. Haha. Lets just say I was more then mad with myself for that one. I went to down to a buds shop and he said as far as the spoiler goes he can just cut a piece of fiberglass and reattach the mounts. Now for the hatch. Is it possible to knock this out and get the lip back into somewhat of its shape or is it just done? This post has been edited by travisxcore: May 15, 2011 - 12:46 AM |

spoiler is easy fix using fiberglass or better yet plastic-welding it back together, as far as that dent goes call up a painless dent repair place that gives free estimates....i have a small round dent almost in the same place but opposite side and i do know the metal aint exactly thin like say a fender right there.... but a PDR dude might be able to remove most if not all of that dent, key word is MIGHT!....and fwiw should purchase one of those ding-king deals, they do actualy work for some dents/dings speaking of which i need to get one.....good luck!....
