Roof metal = embarrassingly weak? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Maybe Felix Baumgartner dropped one on his way down, and you guys were just mistaken.

I drove for about fifteen minutes in a hailstorm (gumball size) and only got dents in the hood. Unless I've missed something, which I doubt by how much I looked mine up and down after the incident, the roof didn't suffer any dents at all.

Roof is aluminum , I work in aviation and yes aluminum can get damaged easily .. It's the right force at the right angle and it will dent ..

Dude... I was talking about throwing a skittle, not taking a shit on your own car.

is it better in the long run to get dents on the aluminum fixed by a pdr person every time or to straight up go with a carbon fiber hood?

If it were M&M's the shell would have cracked to expend the engergy and thus have less impact on your roof.

There have been reports of acorns falling from trees and squirrels throwing acorns at the twins leaving dents too.

i was talkin' to mhra, although a "turd" traveling at a high rate of speed
could possibly dent it, IF it was "hard" enough!

mhra said that he agreed that a skittle couldn't damage the car. I said that he should go try it for himself to find out. I never wanted him to take a crap on his car haha.
