I would never let them sit on the hood.

 

Getting the end spot even at the car show lol
Looks lie a great show

 

^ of course! That's how I always park anywhere and EVERYwhere has to be the end, or I don't park at all.

 

I do the same thing. I get yelled at by friends and family but it's better than a ding.

 

Isn't that what stripes are for? Place for the model to lean?

 

How about using a cloth between the model and the car?

 

Dingless for almost 7 years now. All 3 of our cars. I have trained my wife how to park as well

 

Better knock on wood! That's tremendous for 7 years! I manage to do it all by myself at least that way u have no one to blame! :-)

 

Mine lost it ding virginity early this year. Of course it happened on the crease above the rear wheel. I took it to the body shop and got an estimate of over $600

 

For one ding? Didn't paint come off? If so I can see that. But still those are high, esp if it's a PDR (paint less dent repair)

 

It scratched the clear coat, but it is right on the crease. I have to see if the paintless dent repair can do anything.

 

Here is an image - best I could do with the phone.

a pic i took this weekend at my apartment. i am debating on changing my hood and still not reach a decision. not much choice out there.

 

I'll eventually be doing the Cervini's Stalker…

 

Looking toooooo good my friend

 

Agreed! Love the new vette! If I could afford one I'd be all over it in a heartbeat.

 

^^Same here bro.

Looking good sir!
Awesome photo.

 

Love your car man, can't fault a single choice you've made on it. My personal opinion is that the stock hood suits the rest of the car so perfectly. Every other choice you've made doesn't necessarily stand out on its own but when you take the whole car in there's so many nice details that come together to make the car look the way it does. IMO a hood might upset the balanced look.

HOWEVER, if you disagree, my opinion means precisely nothing.

 

My grocery getter lol

 

That cars so hot your groceries alway come out cooked.
