Default Hood Ornament

So the missus and I were out the other night, come home and she gets a little frisky. I'm like...drape yourself over the Porsche, be a great pic! All good. A few days later I am washing it and notice the hood has a few what I would call creases, not really dings or dents. You have to look at the hood just right to see them. I have used the paintless dent guys before, great results, but these are more creases or stress lines than an actual dent. Looks like I may have to spring for a new hood as they are really not that noticeable but I know they are there...you know how it is. Did the same pose on her Mercedes and my BMW with no probs, I guess the Porsche sheet metal is way thinner. And, no, she doesnt weigh 200 pounds. Funny what seems like a good idea when you've had a few

+1 on the pics!

I would have a paintless dent guy take a shot at it before you decide to get a new hood. The cost is not that bad and could save you a lot of $$$$ on the hood, paint, etc.

Reminds me there's someone in the 993 forum that has an avatar with a woman's imprint on a dusty Volvo, it's pretty funny actually....

Tim, I'm VERY disappointed in you. You didn't even comment on the pumpkins (the ones on the SIDE of the car)!!!

Going to call the PDR guy Monday and will see if the creases can be gotten out. Really not that bad, but you know how it is when you know something is there.
