Default Wrinkled Quarter panels

How many f-body owners got those wretched wrinkles in their quarter panels. Mine are really bad and I have SFC's. Is it common in all f-bodies or is it only T-top cars that get them really bad.

Mine are starting to do it just a bit on the passagner side. They are really hard to notice but I can still see them.

They are very small dimples. You can only see them in certain light and at certain angles (don't think that they would show up a in a pic). Mine started doing it when I started going to the track.

My car doesn't have them, but I haven't been to the track and haven't raced much (only street tires). SFC will probably be my next mod though (still undecided between SLP, Spohn Chromoly, and Global West).

Mine started forming the more I hit the track but completely stopped when I added SFCs.

Would slicks be the cause of it?
