My very first "Aeromod" was actually removing dents. A dented body surface can disrupt air flow and these Metro car bodies dent very easily. Not only that, it makes a crappy car look even crappier I actually added my very own dent when I got mad at the car for breaking down and I decided to make things right. There were actually dents on every body panel on this car except the hood and roof when I got it. and I got all of them out using my bare hands on the insides of the panels.

Here is a prime example of a (anger inflicted) dent...................



First thing to do is to access the inside of the panel by opening the rear hatch and removing the side panel by taking out the screws and pulling it out and up.



Next, I felt where the dent was and popped it out from the inside. If there is a crease or dimple after popping it out, you may have to use body panel tools or do like I did and grab a kitchen spoon!



Inspect your work and make adjustments where needed. I find you can get to the inner door simply by removing the door panel, the front fenders are easily accessed removing screws from the inner fender in the wheel well.

Here is the end result................



Total Cost = $0.00
Total labor time was about 2 hours.
