I just found this out about 2 weeks ago, I was like "man, the guy before me had to use a lot of touch up paint to cover these small dings" and a friend at work looked concerned and told me what it was. needless to say I was not very happy. Tried calling a dealer since there is a TSB, but they never called back. oh well. It looks horrible, but I don't have $2k to fix it, I have other priorities first. Oh and the guy at the body shop where I got a quote to fix a mark on the front bumper or repaint the car told me he'd never seen that in over 15 years of being a body shop manager quote "i'd just sand it and paint over it" to which I responed "Well that just isn't going to work, but thanks for the quote". Needless to say he won't be touching my car.

This topic comes up every now and then.... my suggestion....

Doesn't look too hard.... just make sure you use the correct sealant on the new panel. (Also... in Pontiac High Performance.... they also sprayed the inside of the panel to prevent the off gassing problem.... I don't remember what they spayed the inside of panel with though.)
