Does your IQ or Scion get bumped or dinged a lot?

Ive got a nasty on on the rear wheel arch that dinted and the paint has flaked off leaving a light patch of rust.... It will be fixed when our tax returns come in...

Do you have "Dent Wizards" or people that do dent removal without re-painting down in Puerto Rico?
They should be able to remove all those in one session.

I hate dents myself and really go out of the way to find the "right" parking spaces. Good thing the IQ is small...that just adds
more space between parked cars.

Take a close look in this picture and you will see my remedy for that. I added
some color-keyed protective molding around all my wheel wells and a color-keyed
protective molding on each door. After 10 months, I have no dings or dents.
Even though I try to park-to-protect, I added as much protection as I could without
looking like crap.....here's the pic, click on it to enlarge it:

Humm, never thought about the wheel arches...I've got tons of leftover black door protecting trim, I might have to line the arches next just for fun

If you are going to do what I did, you'll want to angle the edges that butt up against
the top edges of the splash guards, (if you have them),.....if you don't try to make the
ends blend to the guards, it'll look funky.....remember, "its all in the detail" that makes
the difference. Mine look like they came on the car from the factory, which is the look
you are after. Good luck!

I got rear ended in traffic, but thankfully I got no dings or scratches or anything. It is as if nothing hit me at all.

Well that's amazing! You were in your iQ?

I know in my old thunderbird someone rear-ended us and all it did was total them and punch a pencil sized hole in the plastic bumper
