On Denting:
I live in fear of denting the front hood when closing it. I saw two 911 at dealership with slight body deflection around front emblem. I've been trying to use both palms and flat and push lightly, but seems an inordinate amount of pressure to close it. Am I being to delicate?

My son has a Panemara GTS and he put two small dents in the rear passenger door. They had to replace the door because they did not not think they could get the contours right . Cost him (insurance) almost $11K!.

Always found that palm down on the emblem with quick pressure does the trick. [/QUOTE]
To be extra safe, I prefer to press down close to the edge. I've been told that too much pressure around the emblem could cause a dent.

Yeah my dealer told me to never push down on the emblem itself when closing the hood as it's very delicate around there and may dent. He said it's better to push on the area in front of it.
