I woke up one morning and drove my car to work. When I parked and walked away from the car I saw 2 dents in these areas:



You can't see the dents really well anymore because I pushed them out from underneath the hood, but they still left small creases on the edges of the dent.
I know it can't be vandalism because the dents don't have an impact point anywhere on the surface, plus they were totally symetrical on the hood. My only idea would be that when I rear ended someone 2 months ago it slightly bent my radiator support down a little and the body shop didn't repair it correctly, so when my bumper lip gets pushed up from scraping a steep incline, it pushed up on the bumper and pushed up on the edges of my hood and dimpled the hood. That's my only possible explanation I can think of at this time.

check out these pics of the space between my hood and my bumper:






Does that look like too big of a gap? Anyways, lemme know what you guys think. Thanks!

looks like some one sat like a pimp on that corner. both corners. also might have caused the bumper to slant.

If you ever taken your bumper off, the braket and guids can some times get worn out causing your bumper to not "Snap" in place as well.

same **** w/ my integ. my front right side hood has 2 small dents from who knows what

well, you can't really see the dents in the hood because of the pictures, but the creases still remain on the edges it's just hard to see

and this is where the phrase, "pics don't do justice" applies.

you can't see the dents due to the lights reflection...but thats the obvious.

how many megapixels is your camera?

This happened to me also. People think it is OK to just lean up on other peoples cars. I dont know if its b/c they have something in their pockets but it didnt make me too happy. If you want ot sit get a F***ing chair

is your car really slammed?... well mine is and I have all kinds of small dents becuase my suspension is so stiff and low ...that the chasis of the car actually flexes a bit therefor leaving small dents in the hood and fenders

quite possibly the dumbest thing someone has ever said.

I cant really see the dents, but it might of been you going too fast on the expressway when it was cold. it might of cause the corners to bent a little

mrmonk

DOOD i cant see anything.... what dents are you talking about. TAKE BETTER PICS!

YellowGiser

wait are you talking about the stock indent on the hood? How long did u have your teg? Stock integra hoods are supposed to have those line going through them

LOL...well its not that dumb....he would have made a good point if the dents were up more and some how the tower hit the hood...HAHAHAH okay its dumb.

mugen92acintls

probably slammed the hood to hard

slowww b18b1

haha is this supposed to be like a magic eye picture? cuz i cant see it

esponet

LBC mabuhay in the backround, evry filipino garage has that.

stress??? from shuting the hood, someone tried to pry up on the hood?

well yeah it's very hard to see the dents now because I pushed them out from under the hood...... but what's left is the waviness and small creases that sorta shape around the dent..... anyways, it is very hard to see them in the pictures but when you look at it in person, at the right angle in the light you can see the creases..... I'm just wondering how could identical dents on both sides of the hood, just appear outta nowhere?

Cramerox

well anything could have happen..you will never find out..we can only tell you what we thing could have happen. I dont think its due to slamming your hood. My guess is like i said...someone was leaning on your car. and yes maybe both sides.
