Default Shock Tower Wrinkles on EM1 (99-00 Si)

Does anyone else have wrinkles on their shock towers? I got in a small front-ender before, but I don't think it caused the wrinkles. I'm wondering if they are normal.

I just want to comment on how you called your car an EM1, good ****... I hate it when people call their Si's an EK coupe... Look at your VIN tag you idiots....

I have them, and ive seen several others that do also, usualy its caused by extreme bottoming out and the shock has nowhere else to travel except up and it dents...sometimes paint chips off also..is that what you mean?

You guys wouldn't happen to have aftermarket upper control arms for correcting camber would you?



If so, that's what it is probably.

This is what I'm talking about. Look at the 3rd picture down. BTW, this is not my car. It is an EK. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=246264

If you look at the right shock tower, there are some wrinkles were it meets the fender. I have a stock suspension right now, but I had it lowered on RS-R springs a looong time ago.
