Default Rear quarter panels/fenders ?

I didn't notice until I clay bar & wax my car a while back. it was after I went to the track (HRP). For some reason I got wheel hop past the 60'. Anyway my question is has anyone rippled there fenders? cause mine have dents across the top (not too noticeable) but when it's your car you notice most everything. I do have subframe connecters and was on nitto 16" drag radials about 18 psi. Thanks for any input and can this be fixed easily?

Mine has that, it's pretty common for track cars since that area seems to be a weak point. I have like 3 on a passaneger side and one on the drivers side (can only see them in certain lights). If you bring it to someone that does paintless dent removal they should be able to take care of it no problem since they are so small. It'll probrably do it again though.

Stop racin it.
But other than that you could probably cut the quarter panel out and add some reinforcement tothe back. but that sound like too much for some little ripples.

The way to fix it is get SFC. But have them installed right.

I think (from the cars I have seen) that most moded race cars need roll bars. It is the weekest spot.
