Thoughts on this 25 dollar dent repair.

This is just a photoshop.
What do you guys think?

Personally I don’t like the DeLorean badge. I prefer cars to have minimum badging.

[Michael]

Hervey is in the dent repair business I see.

[adam_knox]

Hmm... personally not digging it. I have a few dings and such. Most people don't notice them, the car itself is the focus for the average joe. But if you like it, go for it. I'd see how much a shop would charge to fix it. May not be so bad to fix since its just one spot.

Nope.

[Jonathan]

Doesn't look right.

If I was going to put some sort of sticker or badge over top this dent, I might see about getting a high-res printing of another spot on your hood and have that stainless grained image on a flat sticker to cover it. Like a real life photoshop.

Or go with something obviously not belonging like a small radiation trefoil symbol on a sticker. Or leave it alone, Or just get it fixed properly.

I honestly thought this was a lame joke. You are serious with this? This looks good?

Why spend $25 when this is only $10

It looks any worse than the 83s with the same emblem on the hood?

So your answer is to put something you don't like the look of to cover up something you don't like the look of.

[Ron]

FWIW, I don't see where he says he dislikes the emblem on the hood... Even so, he might dislike it less. :)

Seriously, I have to agree with fix it or leave it alone.

[Jonathan]

To be fair to the OP, asking for someone's opinion isn't the same as getting teased about it. The meme with the bandaid is funny, sure, if it stops there. Problem with the mob mentality of the internet is it keeps getting ratcheted up to where the guy originally asking is made to look foolish. Then he isn't allowed to take the high road in defending himself and move on because people can't resist taking an extra jab to stir it up a little more.

… those '83 badges look okay to me. I don't have that style hood though and don't really want to get one. What makes your dent cover-up with the badge idea a little more half-assed looking is probably because it has to be put on sideways to not interfere with the hood grooves.

What makes you think I don't like the look of the emblem?

[mr_maxime]

Hammer it out with a rubber mallet. That's free.

Mark and I have a pillow fight scheduled then it's off to watching "This is Us" while sharing a half gallon of Rocky Road and doing each other's hair.

[Ron]

I'm confused...

I read it all as he likes the emblem on the 83's (or may find it "acceptable") and wanted to know if you don't, or, you think that it doesn't look good because it doesn't cover the damage well enough or don't look good at that position, or, ???
...and you answered it:

And yes it does look worse

LOL Worse than one on an 83 or than leaving it alone? :deviltail:


Me thinks spring is in the air...

I lost count. I'm spending my time making sure I have the big spoon because Mark always gets the best of me on ice cream night.

I think you are clutching at straws. Looks awful.

[Mark D]

LOL I guess I should have kept up on checking this thread... it looks like I missed out on a TV / snuggle date with Michael and all sorts of other fun. And how did you know Rocky Road is my favorite? :giggle:

[Nicholas R]

Putting aside how putting an emblem in a random location like this actually looks, I'd think that this serves to bring MORE attention to the dent. I think the majority of people probably wouldn't even take note of the dent. But putting an emblem there seems like you're adding a sigh that says "hey, focus on this spot on the car!"

Just my two cents.

[Michael]

I would love to see him do a hail damage repair.

[CFI]

Is it too late to get in on the tv and ice cream action? Asking for a friend.

[L3V3L1]

You can't quit hah? Like a yappy little terrier, or a teenaged girl.
