Yes they are metal. Despite the the reports on here about buckling I have yet to see one dimple/buckle due to power and I have seen a 9sec sprayed car cutting high 1.3 60' no SFC's. A short torque arm and HARD braking will cause wheel hop and dimpling however and I would think harder to remove with PDR.

I truly believe that these dimples don't occur due to power. It is anytime the car is put into a bind. Say you are on a level road and you turn of to a uphill drive way. And you go over it at an angle. All four wheels are at a different height. I think stuff like this is what the problem is.

mine has none, i think they are caused by the body rolling from auto x ing or sharp turns. since they are welded on they dont give like the front ones do so that may have something to do with it. maybe better sway bars would help.
too bad we cant do a rear strut bar if that could possibly fix this.
it could also be that the car has cottage cheese thighs like a fat girl

Well I know one thing. I don't do any auto x and no crazy *** turns on the roads either. I just drive the car and occasionaly pound on the gas when I get the urge which is usually off a roll.
However, all things aside I would like to know a permanent solution to this issue. Looks like SFC are not the solvent based on what I read from other threads?

Can someone post a pic of this magical dimple?
Or at least a place where it can be.
I dont think my Cmaro shows it at all.
The only thing I know always showed was the tear right above the corner of the windows on hard tops.

PDR will take care of them, but they will eventually come back. I had mine done a few years ago and I'll probably have them done again soon.
As far as wrinkling goes, I got a nasty crease in my RR quarter that I presume was from launching. And of course I'm far from making big power. I got it PDR'd out and it hasn't come back since installing SFC's. But the dimples have returned.
