    Nice! I need to do these to my wifes e39. Her car has dents on the hood and the trunk that are such an eye-sore.

    Thanks. Yeah, couldn't stand looking at it anymore. My eyes kept being drawn to the dents, haha. Was pleasantly surprised that the ones near the sunroof were able to get taken out. Ran around $320 for all where I'm at, but worth it.

    A late thanks to StephenVA for helping me track down and trouble shoot some vibration I was having throughout the whole vehicle. I did a bit of front suspension work and still had vibration. Balanced the wheels, replace front tires and it was still there. Put it up on jacks and put it in drive. Vibration was there from around 45 mph and up just like on the road. Took the rear wheels off, put it in drive and the vibration was minimal at around 60 mph. Not nearly as bad as with the rear wheels on. Took the Touring to NTB and had them balance all 4 wheels. They found two, one front and rear, both drivers side to be way off with over 3 oz each. They balanced them down to .5 for the front and 1.5 oz for the rear. Big difference. Also had them do an alignment since it needed it after the front suspension work. Big time improvement. I had them balanced previously at my local Discount. Always have had to bring my vehicles back to them at least twice after they do a balance. It was free so I put up with it. Never again. 10 bucks each wheel every visit at NTB and getting it done right the first time, I can deal with that. There is still a vibration at around 60ish mph and kinda settles at around 80 mph. I still have some suspension work to do when I get time and a few extra bucks to replace all 4 shocks and rear control arms, bushings and links. Also some new rear rubber. Once that's complete I'm hoping it'll ride as smooth butter again!
