the only reason its more "tin can" like than some cars out there is the lack of a stick on sound deadener sheet on the back side of the skin. the metal itself is nothing special. we put skins on all the time at the shop. we repair a ton of hail/acorn damage around here.
and yes, people complaining about balance and weight being the deciding factor is stupid. there are weight numbers out there already. the difference is minimal. i feel like some people just want something to argue over because they aren't a fan, or are just mad because its expensive
