I recently swapped my strut bar and used a Impact wrench to snug up before using a torque wrench to tighten it. I obviously tightened it too much and now there is an imprint in my tower of the hole in the bar. What would you honda guys do? it is not noticeable from underneath the tower when I look in the wheel well. Should I take it to a body shop and have it welded or should I just leave it alone and move on?

 

Leave it. It was going to leave a mark even properly torqued.

 

That's likely just the paint being compressed.

If you really are that **** about the mark, just take an oscillating sander to it and then repaint it.

 

this crack just scares the **** out of me. are you sure this is just paint?

 

That is not a crack. Looks like the paint has been squeezed out to bare metal.
