Too many damn dents!!!!
If there was one thing I could change about the GSRs it'd be the material they're made of. I hear talk of how they're "safe" vehicles, but I have to be cautious when people are near my hood or just leaning against the car. I literally put a ding in the right door when I tried to flick a bug off my car. Unbelievable! What kind of crap is that?

j/k it's called manufacturers save $$ on using thin ass material............i bet if you flicked a fly off a muscle car or any older car for that matter you would brake your finger before denting the sheet metal. 
h: You think integras have thin sheet metal.......go press on some Hyundai Accent fenders or doors hahahahahah. scary shit man!

I bought the Ding King. And in the words of that cool dude 'It Really Does Work!!'. It really does! Its easy and fun to do. The hardest part is getting the glue crap off. But just get some rubbing alcohol and some elbow grease and it'll come off.

Yea, Japanese cars typically use thinner sheet metal for parts that do not affect structural integrity and strength of a car. But that's why our cars usually weigh much less than, say domestic or German imports of similar body size. (Thus better fuel economy, acceleration, and handling. not necessarily tho)
But sometimes i feel like driving a tin can, to be honest. :happysad:
