You need some good power to twist the car on a 4th gen fbod (hardtop/t-top). It's from something else.

My T/A 'aquired' the small creases on rear fenders in same place both sides above center of wheel while power was still in stock form.

I too had them taken care of with PDR (but no holes needed to be drilled). I installed SFC's right after that and they have never come back, even with the numbers in my sig. I have seen the exact same creases, in the exact same spot on many of my friends T/A's so it's not a coincidence, and it is DEFINITELY from body flex - even with power at stock levels.

He filled each hole with a rubber grommet, so if I ever need it done again, he will have easy access. I've attached a picture of the grommet, to give you and idea.

Thanks for the info Mike!

its all from body flex and for those of you who have t-tops and sticky tires like me you better get some sub-frames if not they t-tops will leak.

Don't key them. Just let the air out of their tires. No permanent damage and the message gets delivered.

I got a few on the driver side. And at the right angle it looks bad.

Both my cars are dent free.(Knock on wood)

I used to have 1 on each side of the Trans Am but it just got completely repainted recently, so everythings nice and new there.

The Camaro is still doing good too, even though some lady blatantly opened her door into it in a parking lot the other day while I was sitting in it! Thank god the doors are a plastic material and cant dent and she hit the rubber trim piece so luckily there was no real damage, but I still flipped out on her and asked her how she could be so ignorant and rude. It wasn't even an accidental tap it was a complete open the door right into the car, it still pisses me off to talk about it.
